1 | Who are the heads of the widows? | Eph 5:22 | octoplus | 180480 | ||
The answer is straightforward and found in the same verse. You note that the ultimate authority is the Lord. So, even if the husband is still living but asks the wife to do something that is inconsistent to the scriptures (e.g. forced prostitution) the wife reserves the right to refuse. Looking forward, in the absence of any male as the head, then Christ shall head both the widow and divorced parties (both husband and wife). You will note that there is practical difficulty to submit to a church (which consists of many belivers). It is unlikely for the person (after the trauma experience of losing the spouse) to submit to a body of belivers. However the person is strongly encouraged to join a local fellowship for mutual support and encouragement. |

2 | Who are the heads of the widows? | Eph 5:22 | catjo | 180525 | ||
This covering most certainly can be the local church. But I would submit, it should be one godly male paster(omitting confussion and division). One who speaks as, ie; and my sheep will hear my voice. If he (builds and cleanses) you (not tickle your ear)in his sermon.If u obey God's word thru his teaching.Then U are understanding God (or standing under God's authority). Hence your covering thru the God's protocol system. You always reject ungodly authority though. Make sure you are going where your led. Not out of habit. Pray and follow. You may have to stay or, go. But, stay until called by H.S. Let the spirit lead you, not ur emmotions or flesh. | ||||||
