Is the man the head of the woman? This appears on the surface to be the plain statement of the following Scripture:
1 CORINTHIANS 11:3
3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God. However, looking at that Scripture in some translations other than the King James will help you see how it is actually in agreement with Ephesians 5:23 which says, "For the husband is the head of the wife . .. ." 1 CORINTHIANS 11:3 (WEYMOUTH>
3 I would have you know, however, that of every man Christ is the head, that the head of a woman is her hus-band, and that the head of Christ is God.
1 CORINTHIANS 11:3 3 But I wish you to know that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the wife is the husband, and the head of Christ is God. Now, is every man the head of every woman? Assuredly not! A man may be the head of one woman — his wife. But he is not the head of every woman.
I remember some of the things a fellow preached during a revival meeting in the last church I pastored. He wasn't very studious or he'd have known better. He just skimmed over the top of the Scriptures, like you would pan for gold. (Back during the Gold Rush you could go into a stream of water and pan out a little gold dust. But if you really wanted to 99make a strike and get down where the real gold was, you had to dig for it. In the same way you can skim along on the top of Scriptures — but if you really want to find out what the Bible says, you'll have to dig down into the Word of God.)....... To be continued 👍
