Hello folks, the Lord has risen indeed! In this episode we will continue to look at the appropriate way to view Paul's much discussed instructions to women at public church-based assemblies - their conduct, their manner and behaviour. We will first acknowledge that to be the 'head,' as the husband is according to Jewish traditions is not a bad thing as naturally speaking each person's head is the epicentre or brain container through which the nervous system that controls the body directs, provides and serves the entire organisms of our anatomy, and the head is not dictatorial or adversarial to rest of the body. Thus neither should believing husbands be. Christ we are told is the head and we are his spiritual bride of which their is neither male nor female. Thus, Christ is the perfect example of a husband or shepherd in terms of disciplining, loving, caring and sacrificing. At the same time Paul writes differently about our union in the spirit as neither male, female, servant or free than our position or condition in the flesh as gender and freedom based, there are distinctions to be made and order or manner to be adhered to in this sense. Can we see the difference between our union in the spirit and position in the flesh? If so, is there a complimentary rather than adversarial relationship between them?
