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.

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.

Jan 31, 2015 · God makes woman from the man’s rib, and the man recognizes, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh” (2:23), because they share the same substance (2:21–23). “Father and mother” are identified without hierarchical distinction (2:24). In marriage, they are “united” and “one flesh” (2:24).
Jan 5, 2021 · There are Christians today who argue that there was no hierarchy between man and woman prior to the fall (part of the view known as egalitarianism).
