Bible Question: submission |
Bible Answer: Word Study ... Hupo (Greek), Raphac (Hebrew) ... The word submission or submit is a military term with the view of rank. Those with a lower rank submitted to those with higher rank. It was and is the accepted fact. Without it there would be confusion and not order. Even with the idea of being weak. God has this is place for the church (Heb 8:9), slaves/masters (1Ti 6:1) and the Christ-man-woman (1 Cor 11:3). Read the context, including other passages. S |
