Aug 29, 2017 · God did not say to Adam, “You are to exercise dominion,” and to Eve, “You are to build the family.” Both the man and the woman were given both commands, pointing to shared parenting and shared dominion. In a world already carefully organized into a hierarchy of order, God placed a man and a woman without hierarchy. (37)

Apr 11, 2005 · The paradox of Genesis 2 is also seen in the fact that the woman was made from the man (her equality) and for the man (her inequality). God did not make Adam and Eve from the ground at the same time and for one another without distinction. Neither did God make the woman first, and then the man from the woman for the woman. He could have created ...

Jesus Christ submits to God. We saw many times in the four gospel books (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John) how He constantly submitted His will to the Father. One scene that shows this clearly is when Jesus, even after praying for at least an hour in the Garden of Gethsemane, still decided to listen to the Father’s will to die for the whole world (Mat...
The head of every man (the male) is Christ. However, because not every man is saved, some don’t submit to His authority. That is dangerous because when a man isn’t under Christ’s rulership, his family is in trouble. God intentionally created the man first and made him the head of his home, not the woman. Why? Because every family goes in the direct...
In Genesis 2:21-22, the Bible explains how God took the rib (in the Hebrews, it means “side”) of man to make the woman. So Eve’s physical body came from the ground. But her inner content (inner personality and character) came from the man because of the man’s rib, which God used as a foundation for her design. From this Biblical explanation, it’s c...
You may have read the scripture that says, “in Christ, there’s neither male nor female” (Galatians 3:28). Well, that’s true. But in that context, where can Christians’ delegation of divine authority stand? It’s simple, to Christ. When it comes to submission in Christ, the Bible says we should be submissive to one another (1 Peter 5:5). So as Christ...

Paul writes, “Man does not originate from woman, but woman from man; for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake” (1 Cor. 11:8-9). Later he writes, “As the woman originates from the man, so also the man has his birth through the woman; and all things originate from God” (1 Cor. 11:12).
- The Bible teaches “male headship.” “Male headship” means that only males should be leaders in the church and in the home. It is based on statements in the Bible that “man is the head of woman” and “the husband is the head of his wife.”
- Ephesians 5 teaches, “Wives submit to your husbands.” Grammatically, the wife’s submission is explicitly one facet of mutual submission. It refers to voluntary yielding in love (5:21–22).
- 1 Timothy 2:12 prohibits women from teaching or having authority over men. The people who came up with this translation of 1 Timothy 2:12 did not do their homework!
- The “Creation Order” establishes man’s priority over woman. Nothing in Genesis teaches that creation order establishes man’s priority over woman.
Jan 31, 2015 · Paul’s explicit affirmations of the equality of man and woman. In two verses, Gal 3:28 and 1 Cor 11:11, Paul explicitly argues that women and men are equals in church life. In Gal 2:11–3:28, Paul insists that unequal treatment in the church of a social group, including women, is contrary to the gospel.

Jan 5, 2021 · In this case, Genesis 3:16 is “a summons to return to the creation subordination to the man” (Werner Neuer, Man and Woman in Christian Perspective, p. 80). View 2, which sees this as a perversion of creational hierarchy, has two possibilities. One option takes the actions of both the husband and the wife as negative (the wife is devoted to ...
