Bible Question: I would like someone to explain what is meant in the bible about the man being head of his household? Is this spiritual leader and supporter or is this that he has the right to always overpower the woman and she has no right or opinions. Ames |
Bible Answer: It is in regards of the church, it is not mention that the woman always overpower by man. It is talking about the Christian family or married if they are both follower of Christ we know that they have always good opinons. I dont think that a good husband will taught his wifes to do adultery or do bad. If the the husband will teach bad to her wife of course wife can overpower that by asking the authority but I dont think a good husband will do that. 1Co 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. |
