Some shallow and yet deep ideas about organizational structure
1. Some shallow and yet deep ideas about organizational structure
An organizational structure is the arrangement of command and control within an organization.
2. Comparison: Jesus
Here is a depiction of the
flat organizational structure of Jesus.
3. Comparison: church
Here is a depiction of the
deep organizational structure of human systems - the church, government, and the world in general.
4. Structure comparison
5. Equality
Declaration of Independence: "
All men are created equal". This is from Galatians (and other places) but always refers to "
equal before God" and not "
equal before humans". This distinction is often blurred by those wishing to promote worldly social change rather than or in addition to the change to which Jesus refers.
Sometimes this social change goes against rules establish by God. This almost requires that the distinction be blurred.
6. Worldly equality
The world will create human hierarchical structures of power, etc.
7. Equality before God
All those in the human hierarchy are not equal in the world but are still "
equal before God".
8. Rock and sand
The "
human hierarchy" is a deep worldly house built on or of "
sand".
The "
Jesus hierarchy" is a shallow house built on or of "
rock"
Consider the parable of the sheep and the goats. Who is represented by the "
least of these"?
9. What is omitted may be important
How many chapters in the Old Testament? 929
How many chapters in the Old Testament Apocrypha? 183 (Most of them in the "
Silent Years")
This comes to 1112 chapters. How many were written by non-Jews?
Is social change advocated by the
GNT (Greek New Testament)? By Jesus? By others?
