SEEKING THE ONE WHO DOES NOT LIVE UNDER THE WRITTEN CODE WHERE MEN SAY THEY "RULE" A WIFE; I AM FREE IN CHRIST.
I DESIRE THE ONE WHO WILL WALK WITH ME AND FOLLOW HIM AS HE SAID WE WOULD.
Eph 5:30
"For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones."
(That is Christ the new Adam, not man, good grief).
Christ head of the Church, as in ALL born again believer's have Christ Jesus as their head the same as Adam was the head of eve, or woman.
Genesis 2:23;
And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.
MAN HEAD OF WOMAN, AS IN ADAM! NOT BORN AGAIN, UNDER LAW!
( therefore, "man head of woman as Christ head of Church" clearly separates the law from the Cross; the flesh head from the Spirit head). (flesh born of flesh is dead, Spirit born of Spirit is life and peace).
Where I once was born of flesh and walked in the flesh (old Adam) I am now born again of the Spirit and walk in the Spirit and am alive and not dead. (taken out of Christ as the new Adam).
I am not looking for a dead man, but a live one, please.
Some men are under the delusion that men by the mere fact that they are male are appointed as a wife's leader, head of her home etc. please. I am keeping Christ and my life!
Galatians 5:18
If we live by the Spirit, let's also be guided by the Spirit.
Interesting enough to me, this does NOT say "led by man as your spiritual guide". PLEASE!
I am disgusted by men who call themselves Christians, as IN CHRIST, yet degrade women and say God said I will rule over you as Adam ruled over Eve - I am the authority over your life, this is Biblical truth and your a heretic if you say otherwise.
My God, help Your people, I am so sick of this false doctrine, what is wrong with these men?
Are they that stupid? Are they Spiritually dead yet call themselves alive in Him?
I cannot understand how a person will say they are a born again beliver and be so deceived and at the same time also condemn others for being free as Christ said we are.
He shall be the head of the house of Jacob forever and ever. Meaning, He alone is the head of your house, NEVER would He give His position as head to anyone! It says, forever.
He did NOT say any man will be the head of His Body, but that HE alone is the head by which all things are knitted together.......
What is wrong with these men - somebody please tell me.
Concerning prophesy, the Bible says to "test the spirits". Where anyone will claim to have a word from the Lord, and goes against Scripture, they are a false prophet. The doctrine on roles in marriage is not vague. Man is head of the wife as God is head of the church. Eph. 5 also says that the woman should submit to the husband, "in every thing". Various people have tried to show you the truth of these texts; I'd encourage you to consider them humbly. We don't believe them because we are less informed than you, but because God Himself has shown us, through the revelation of the word of God. We are all on the same team, and we all love you! We should rejoice in what God has taught in the Bible, and learn to accept it and understand why it is best.
I have read several of your posts and just wanted to say that you have much wisdom at your age. I pray that God would send a wonderful woman of God for you who will be grateful to have your leadership. God bless you, Jesusfreak47
I always ask my pastor to clarify a verse even if I believe I'm 100% correct in an interpretation of a verse and pray for the Holy Spirit to guide me and show me the truth.
Also, there are alot of teachers of the word out there that help us interpret the bible so we'll avoid taking the verses out of context.
