NASB | Ephesians 5:33 Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must see to it that she respects her husband. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Ephesians 5:33 However, each man among you [without exception] is to love his wife as his very own self [with behavior worthy of respect and esteem, always seeking the best for her with an attitude of lovingkindness], and the wife [must see to it] that she respects and delights in her husband [that she notices him and prefers him and treats him with loving concern, treasuring him, honoring him, and holding him dear]. [1 Pet 3:2] |
Bible Question: In this reading we can learn to love properly husbands and wives. One should not dominate the other in any way.The man is the head, the woman the body because God said. Anything with two heads is a monster. Read Eph 5:22-33 |
Bible Answer: In your question, "why is man the head of the home"... you give an answer which says that no one should dominate the other in any way. Then you contradict that statement by saying the man is the head and the woman the body. When you say the man is the head this biblically means that the man is in charge. The woman is not the body. The woman is the help mate. She was made for the man. In Genesis 3:16 God said that the man shall rule over the woman. In 1 Tim 2:12-14, Paul told us God's reason for this. You can read it, but mainly it is telling us that the woman was not made as spiritually discerning as the man and this is why she fell into transgression. Yes, it is God's will for man to rule over the woman. It is God's will for the woman to fear the man. This is repeated throughout the Bible in many places and never, never contradicted or changed. I realize it does not go over well with feminism and is not politically correct to say this. It is nevertheless true. If we see Christ as our King and ruler -- we follow His laws first -- and man's law second (if they do not interfere with Christ law). |
