"Christ is the Head--Final Authority--"
AMEN!
Ephesians 5
22Wives,
be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
23For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is
the head of the church, He Himself
being the Savior of the body.
24But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives
ought to be to their husbands in everything.
25Husbands, love your wives, just as
Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her,
26so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word,
27that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless.
28So
husbands ought also to love their own wives as their own bodies. He who loves his own wife loves himself;
29for
no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ also does the church,
30because we are members of
His body.
31FOR THIS REASON A MAN SHALL LEAVE HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND SHALL BE JOINED TO HIS WIFE, AND
THE TWO SHALL BECOME ONE FLESH. 32This mystery is great; but
I am speaking with reference to Christ and the church. 33Nevertheless, each individual among you also is to love his own wife even as himself, and the wife must
see to it that she respects her husband.
The Church, Jesus is its head, and is one flesh. We are his body the church.
1 Timothy 3
15but in case I am delayed,
I writeso that you will know how one ought to conduct himself in the household of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and support of the truth.
The Church.
2 Corinthians 3
2You are our letter, written in our hearts, known and read by all men;
3being manifested that you are a letter of Christ, cared for by us,
written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
4Such confidence we have through Christ toward God.
5Not that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as
coming from ourselves, but our adequacy is from God,
6who also made us adequate
asservants of a new covenant, not of the letter but of the Spirit; for
the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Written not with ink.
John 20
21So Jesus said to them again, “Peace
be with you; as the Father has sent Me, I also send you.”
22And when He had said this,
He breathed on them and said to them, “Receive the Holy Spirit.
23“If you forgive the sins of any,
their sins have been forgiven them; if you retain the
sins of any, they have been retained.”
GOD BREATHED.
