1 | what does "Wives Submit" really mean? | Col 3:18 | nor | 181382 | ||
You are to "Love" for your husband with the same intensity the Church Loves Christ, and the balance to that statement is that your husband is to "Love" you with the same intensity that Christ Loves the Church. www.biblegateway.com The Message Ephesians 5 21Out of respect for Christ, be courteously reverent to one another. 22-24Wives, understand and support your husbands in ways that show your support for Christ. The husband provides leadership to his wife the way Christ does to his church, not by domineering but by cherishing. So just as the church submits to Christ as he exercises such leadership, wives should likewise submit to their husbands. 25-28Husbands, go all out in your love for your wives, exactly as Christ did for the church—a love marked by giving, not getting. Christ's love makes the church whole. His words evoke her beauty. Everything he does and says is designed to bring the best out of her, dressing her in dazzling white silk, radiant with holiness. And that is how husbands ought to love their wives. They're really doing themselves a favor—since they're already "one" in marriage. 29-33No one abuses his own body, does he? No, he feeds and pampers it. That's how Christ treats us, the church, since we are part of his body. And this is why a man leaves father and mother and cherishes his wife. No longer two, they become "one flesh." This is a huge mystery, and I don't pretend to understand it all. What is clearest to me is the way Christ treats the church. And this provides a good picture of how each husband is to treat his wife, loving himself in loving her, and how each wife is to honor her husband. |

2 | Defining Resurrection Life? | Not Specified | nor | 181381 | ||
The Gospel of John speaks of Resurrection Life quite a bit (zoe). How would you describe that life? example: Is this truly a new life born within us upon believing or are we simply made aware or made part of God's life by recognizing and believing? Is the Life Adam knew before the fall the same Life we know as Christians? |

4 | Is masturbation wrong? | Rom 2:15 | nor | 181380 | ||
I suspect you are a young person and the previous answer may not have brought much closure. If masturbation were wrong I suspect God wouldn't have had a problem defining it exactly in scripture. I believe we focus too much on sin at times, and it prevents us from focusing on His Glory, which is what really helps us to grow into His likeness. Romans chapter 8 "The Message" www.biblegateway.com |
