22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:

23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. 

In John 14 Jesus Christ makes clear God the Father is an actual male, like he, himself, (NOT allegory nor figurative):

John 14: 

6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.

8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.

9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?

1. Evolution, which is a massive, diabolical, lie, is, in fact, sadly, deep down inside, believed, by many seminary and church leaders.

(If God's Creation, Noah's Flood, the young world Biblical chronology, the dividing of the Red Sea, etc., etc., are just STORIES, why make a big fuss about the old, male - chauvinist, patriarchal, sexist, words, "Father," and "Son.")

2. These church leaders may have deceived themselves into thinking that "Father" and "Son" are MERE TITLES, NOT ACTUAL GENDERS.  This is just plain crazy, to the extent this deception exists.

3. The ranks of church leadership, are sadly, heavily populated by UNBELIEVERS in whom The Lord Jesus Christ DOES NOT ACTUALLY LIVE.

4. Churches have badly failed to meet the challenge of, and to blunt the evil work of, the media assault on Biblical values, standards, and doctrines. 

5. Sadly, many church-goers have unwittingly fallen prey to these false values, and thus modern churches are forced to compromise and accommodate these in order to survive.

6. The power of peer group pressure among church leaders assures they will stay IN-LINE, and not speak out and alert others to this problem.

Managing a church is a demanding business.

It requires managerial skill, knowledge, drive, energy, etc.

There is an old saying that some believers are, "So heavenly minded they are of no earthly good."

This is largely true.

Serious Christian believers are interested in things of the Lord, and have little interest in the nuts and bolts of managing a church.

So, God wisely has placed, it would seem, non-believers, or carnal believers at the managerial head of churches.

But God does not intend that these managers pre-empt, or block, true believers from preaching God's truths.

But, this is what is happening in many cases.

The New Testament passage of 1 Corinthians 14 says:

29 Let the prophets speak two or three, and let the other judge.  (New Testament, not Old Testament, prophets), (forth-tellers, not fore-tellers)

30 If any thing be revealed to another that sitteth by, let the first hold his peace.

31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that all may learn, and all may be comforted.

32 And the spirits of the prophets are subject to the prophets.

33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

This passage goes on to firmly say:

37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.

Preaching and teaching in church is to be God directed through the Holy Spirit indwelling believing men.

AND -- others (believing men) are to JUDGE each speaker.

The local church is suppose to be governed by Elders who need to see that this happens.

But, usually a Pastor is HIRED to be the sole preacher.

So many, if not all, of God's spirit filled prophets are shut out, pre-empted, and God's truths withheld or suppressed.
