Bible Note: BradK: Greetings Brad. I have read with interest the thread on going, so I thought I would add to it, if that's ok. The term used in Eph. for submit means "to arrange in order" no where does the word obey come in line with submit. The reality is we are called to mutial "subjection" which is the correct translation not submission. Eph 5:21 and 22 were written together, and not intended to be separated, but kept in one context. To further help bring my point out more, the responsiblity of the husband is much more of a servant partner. Men are in deed to submit, or be subject to the wife's welfare in EVERY way, just as Jesus has done for us all. Often I see the women are subjective to the point that almost looks like slavery. Yes Brad, submission is a unpopular word today and in years past. Because men have abused and misunderstood what real Biblical understanding of being a head of the wife means. Men are to be "as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body" Eph. 5:23 May I suggest a enlightening book, EACH FOR THE OTHER by Bryan Chapell Baj\ker Books 1998. This book has so awaken my heart to how as a husband and father I need to be. Let me give you an example of just one quote. "The head of a home stands before God on behalf of his family and he lives before his family on behalf of God. This is the headship God honors." page 37. I can say this one quote has so rocked my understanding of what God expects of me, I am humbled to the very core of my being. The 13 dollar price is one of the best investments I have ever made. I am wondering what are your thoughts are? Does this awaken any feelings? Blessings Brad. justme |
