Outstanding message. Thank you, Pastor Toby!

Love and respect go hand and hsnd. If you love your wife you also respect her. If a wife loves her husband she will also respect him. What the Word of God is showing is absolute equally here.

[@doriangray7723]

The bottom line husband's and wife's love and respect one another. God has one standard of goodness and righteousness for all. If those claiming to abide in Christ lived as Christ there would be no problems. Both husband's and wife's need to uplift, encourage one another in Christ. Certainly women are not forbidden from having positions of authority. All in Christ can and should use scripture to correct, reproof and instruct. We are unique and certainly bring unique gifts. And yes, the marriages and families today need to be healed.

Husband's and wife's submit UNTO ONE ANOTHER as in CHRIST. There's no male or female in Christ and the TRUE AND ONLY HEAD IS CHRIST. If a husband is literally submitted unto Christ and the wife submits unto the husband is she submitted unto the husband or Christ? Christ of course. When it says wife's submit your husband's as the lord in all things. This pertains solely to the things of Christ not mortal fallible and sinful men. It has nothing to do with one's personal desires and will (of the carnal mind/flesh). Our head is Christ alone and all genuine and lasting authority comes from Christ. Many on earth have power but no authority from God, therefore their days of power are numbered. God is not a respecter of persons. Certainly God puts women in positions of authority. Again regardless of your sexual reproductive organs all authority is or should be based on something sound and well defined. A judge has no personal authority or should not but his or her authority should be based on just laws. I say should because naturally man (fe/male) is corrupted. As far as organized religious institutions regardless of a fe/male heading that church their authority is solely based on sound scripture; the inerrant Word of God/Christ. Moreover, God doesn't dwell in temples built by man but, we, our bodies are the temple. Mortal and sinful men, or women; including Mary (who by the way is dead and knows nothing and is asleep/unconscious awaiting the resurrection) are not our mediator or intercessor. There's ONE MEDIATOR BETWEEN MAN (fe/male) and God and that is Christ alone. Not a pastor, priest, bishop, pope. Our true intercessor is the HOLY SPIRIT. THANKS 😊

Everyone needs love and wants to be respected. Stop the sexism. Genuine love is respect. The definition of love is clearly defined. Please stop speaking as if all males are the same and equate to a group and vice versa for females. We are all different and you can't categorize us based on reproductive organs. To say all women this and all men that is erroneous. God did not create one mold for males and one for females. Rather than assume something about an INDIVIDUAL ask them.

[@doriangray7723]

Love is not harder for men. It's individual. And again to love is to respect. Never met a female that didn't want respect. Hello. Or a male that didn't want to be loved. Smh

[@doriangray7723]

Actually, all that us really happening is men if living uprightly are sanctifying themselves. Truth! God's mystery. Lol You are speaking as if all females are incapable and need a husband to straighten them out. Lol No....if men actually lived uprightly they themselves would be greatly improved and sanctified.

Wife's are to obey CHRIST technically. Read it. This is why it states there's no male or female in Christ. The head of the body is Christ. A wife is not obligated to obey the literal mortal/flesh desires of their husband's. A female in Christ would naturally be submitted unto Christ therefore naturally would do well with husband granted husband was equally yoked. Hello!
