The biblical role of a man and a woman is to be husband and wife in the Lord and to be a support for each other.shall women wear hair covering ?
shall men be bossy=??
that not mandated for all to Marry.The biblical role of a man and a woman is to be husband and wife in the Lord and to be a support for each other.
not saying that you're right or wrong, but that's in a marriage, (in a helper scenario, as you said). now the term head here, only mean SOURCE, and not a order of authority. in Christ Jesus there is neither Male nor Female. and not all men, or all women are married, so that want apply there.Man is head of the woman, as Christ is head of the man, and God head of Christ.
The woman was sent to be his helper and companion.
well I want argue with you or anyone else. but I will say this. in a marriage, what works for house A may not nessary work in house B, or C, or D.By the way, I had a pastor that said Proverbs 31 outlined everything that the woman had to do ... an entire chapter! But when it came to the man all he had to do was be exactly... like ... Jesus.
Right, but Holy999 seems to be specifically speaking in regards to relationships based on the question and considering he's from Sweden and English is not his first language, I thought it would be better to keep it as simplistic as possible.to all who answered above. thanks for the replies, that's if a man and a woman was married. but not all women are married, or men.

if one would notice, the head of the woman is man, NOT the head of the wife is the Husband...... notice the difference? for the woman came out of or from the man, not the wife out of the husband. as with the Christ, notice no personal name are used. understand Christ is out of God, not Jesus.
you said, "...Why do we tiptoe around this? God's natural order is perfection". God's natural Order is perfection, all are the SAME in his eyes. in a marriage, there are responsibilities, and there are freedoms and restriction. but these only apply to the married. as said, not all are married. and when it come to God's Holy House, both are free in the perfection of God. for there is no RESPECT OF PERSON WITH GOD.
well I want argue with you or anyone else. but I will say this. in a marriage, what works for house A may not nessary work in house B, or C, or D.
however, everyone should be like the Lord Jesus the Christ.
if a man and a woman decide to get Married, that's their freedom to do this, but if a man or a woman decide not to be married, that's their freedom in choice also. but let me say this, just because a woman or a man married or married not, their freedoms in christ is the same, in God's Holy House.
for if a woman or a man desire, or is called, into the service of the Lord, for a certian work, then a spouse has no authority over God.
knowing that, in God's House a woman, married or not is free to work in the calling that the Lord desires. be ye it teaching, preaching, pastoring, ect...just as a man, for there is no difference in God.
now as said, in a secular setting concering a home, if they set some rules or not, that's for them and no one else. but when it comes to God house, he set the rules and regulations.
now, there is a difference in a marriage, and or those who are not married. but with God, there is no difference. he is Lord over all.

first thanks for the reply, the bible say "HONOR" each other, and I haven't found where it say that the wife is to LOVE her husband except for the general Love for one another. but the bible is clear in that the Husband is to LOVE his wife. and also the bible is clear, that a wife is to submit unto her husband. and as a matter of fact the Husband is to Love his wife even to the point of dying for her as Christ gave his life for his wife the church...... one of the things as you said this Pastor told you, "the husband is to be like Christ", well christ died for his wife.....Right, but Holy999 seems to be specifically speaking in regards to relationships based on the question and considering he's from Sweden and English is not his first language, I thought it would be better to keep it as simplistic as possible.
I understand what you are saying and I am not married, nor do I intend to be in the future, but I don't think that the order makes any real difference whether you're married or not. Doesn't it all really just come down to respect for your husband anyway? When you really break it down that's pretty much all it is.
Man is head of the woman, as Christ is head of the man, and God head of Christ.
The woman was sent to be his helper and companion.
I do wear a covering, but that's not a salvation issue in my opinion.
...Why do we tiptoe around this? God's natural order is perfection.
By the way, I had a pastor that said Proverbs 31 outlined everything that the woman had to do ... an entire chapter! But when it came to the man all he had to do was be exactly... like ... Jesus.![]()
I agree with him too! But it took us all a minute to get it at first. Pastor had a bit of a dry sense of humor. Imagine, "All you have to do is be just like Jesus." It was quiet for a minute and then a wave of laughter through the room. It is the most difficult example of character on the planet to follow. Perfection! To love, be as forgiving, as graceful, as merciful, as self-controlled, and so on...Actually, I agree with that pastor, at least in that statement. :) People don't seem to take the analogy of a man and wife symbolizing Christ and His bride seriously enough, and so they break with something that's intended to be extremely beautiful. But the idea that a husband should seek to be perfect to her is somehow deemed fanatical or something. I think when a man is very deeply in love he will do anything for a woman, including die for her, and he will seek to NEVER make a mistake in the way he treats her. And the more he can sacrifice for her in all things and in all ways, the more the Lord will empower Him to lead her properly, in a way that is not dictatorial or self-serving, but only wanting to protect her and keep her from harm.
Not that I'm saying you are making the wrong decision, but it's a shame you have no plans on marrying again. A post like this suggests you are a very good candidate for a godly man, should you ever find one.
God bless,

I hope there are more men like you described left. I would take it in a heartbeat. We will see.![]()
A Ha Ha Ha!!! Well then I will pray for you that the Lord sends Prince Charming along shortly, or in due time.
In the mean time, there's always man's best friend. :) You gotta find ways to make due, cuz you may have a long wait on your hands, LoL.

In all seriousness, the apostle John had a prayer, telling the churches, "I would that you prosper and be in health, even as your soul prospers."
If I had a prayer for the body of Christ, it would be that they find true love - the one God called them to be with - and experience what it truly means to reflect the Love of Christ for His bride, and the love and desire of the church to obey her Lord and honor Him. If we could ever pull that one off, we'd probably conquer the world in short order, LoL.
6 1/2 months to find out if I'm crazy. I've been waiting a long time to find out.
shall women wear hair covering ?
shall men be bossy=??
ON point there.Shall women wear hair covering?
Shall? no. Choice? yes.
A woman's Head covering IS her hair.
A hair covering is worn by women for the own Individual choice;
From...respect for a culture, to fashion, to keeping Dust out of her hair, to control wind from blowing her hair in her face, for a Tradition, for humbleness, etc.
All are as One in Christ Jesus? not all are one. they still are Male and female on earth and have their role as such."In Christ, there are no male or female. But, all are one."
