Ok, so I was a little confused about this verse where it says, “therefore a man shall leave his father and mother, and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh”. I didn’t know in what contexts “holding fast to my wife” meant. Should I fast or is it a different meaning. I searched it up on google, but I would find the link where it said this quote and was about to go into it, but I had to click on the link and go to the website to read the whole thing. But then on the website it started talking about other verses and I couldn’t find the actual quote that they had under the title of the link. So then I remembered that I am Romanian, and I went to read the verse in Romanian. And it made a lot more sense. Where it says, “a man shall hold fast to his wife”, in Romanian it is, “De acea va lasa omul pe tatal sau si pe mama sa si se val LIPI de nevasta-sa, si cei doi vor fi un singur trup.” So the word, “LIPI” means to stick something. Like with glue. Or it means to touch two things together. Like, “sau lipit unul de celalalt.” They stuck one to another. So it’s literally that meaning of becoming one. You’re stuck together. You both made the vows and agreed to spend your life together as one body.

Also, verse 29. “For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as Christ does the church”. This is going right after it says that we should love our wives as we love our own bodies. We cannot treat them different than how we would treat ourselves. We cannot demand things from them that we would not be ok with being demanded from us. We have to respect their wants and likes just like we respect ours. We don’t like being ignored or wronged by anyone. So we shouldn’t do that under any circumstance to our wives. We cannot, “get back at them” if they’ve done something to us. It’s not, an eye for an eye anymore. We love them, so we need to act like it. I’m not married, but I want to do the right things in the future, so this has been a subject that intrigued me for a while now. I want to have a biblical marriage in the future. And that often times goes against what society deems to be acceptable in a normal secular marriage. Sodomy is very much approved by the secular world. And even by some Christian couples. But we cannot follow what the world instils in our minds. Sodomy has become something to be desired by men. And we cannot go into marriage with those assumptions of what it needs to be like.

[@Username-ld7ho]

We need to treat our bodies and or wives bodies like a temple. This would be my overall summary of this thought.

You did well paying attention to All of the scripture as nothing is if waste for it all has value. You found a piece so keep it for later when you have gathered more of them in your walk. If you are diligent in all your efforts you will be able to put them together and see the whole picture. I didnt even know this was a mystery because I do like you did, I see something and want to know what is that? Now i don't go looking for them because they can't be found in such a way for "those who (don't) seek me find me" I am always headed wherever the Lord has me going. I have no idea what it is I will be lead into only that I am to pay close attention to everything and not have any not to carry anything assumed with me. There are a lot of things we pick up from others and carry as our own understanding but have not realized we are in fact not truths. The only reason this is a mystery to begin with is because we can't see. When Jesus thanks the father for hiding the things for the children of God this is an example of that By what means does Paul say we can become children of God? Jesus tells us the same thing but like "hold fast" that you found , what he says is skipped over and hidden as a mystery because assumed truths we carry conceal it and when someone who is justified attempts to reveal such truth, it is protected with defense rooted invert strong positions. Saying this is profound to me. But I'll show you where your piece fits into the puzzle at least. Don't go searching to solve this or any mystery because the law of sin and death is where the mystery exists and once your no longer understand those laws it's not a mystery to begin with. It's just a beautiful truth that shows from the opening scene In the beginning- baptism of Jesus ★ all the way to the founding of the church. If you had people in a building and you took away the Bibles would that be a church? Whe Paul came across the disciples of John the Baptist who had been baptized by John (the same as Jesus was and knew Scripture) they had not received the holy Spirit because they didn't know about Jesus but when rhey did they believed and reached the holy Spirit. So we are members in the church only with both the( Spirit of the Lord) and the body of Jesus our Messiah. Know and understsnd Spirit of Christ-Truth and Spirit of the Lord-Wisdom who came down like a dove once he washed himself clean and gave his body up for her Faften your piece in the star and go see whsts going on

[@bloodmooncomix457]

So my question is, do we submit to Christ or do we love Christ? Because women aren't commanded to love their husbands; just to submit to them?!🤔 Also, found this little gem that even the pastor would have a hard time denying!😧

[@SimmyG65]

Loving and submitting are not mutually exclusive.

[@RevelationMinistries114]

Submitting is loving Christ. “By this we know that we love the children of God, when we love God and keep His commandments. For this is the love of God, that we keep His commandments. And His commandments are not burdensome.” ‭‭I John‬ ‭5:2-3‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ So a woman shows her love for her Godly husband by submitting to him because he ultimately submits to Christ.

[@gmac8586]

Jesus said "if you love me, you will obey my commandments". John 14:15 and again in John 14:23. So to Jesus, and to God the Father, submitting and obeying is the same as loving. David wrote Obeying is better than sacrifice.

[@GAS.MASK1]

So does this mean marriage as we know then today or just to not have sex outside of a regular commited relationship?

[@tonyfat2458]

Good video

[@paulremnantone1102]

Wives should submit to their husband but only if what the husband is wanting aligns with the Bible. The word always trumps everything. For example if the wife is going to church and the husband isn’t. The husband fore bids her to go to church. That is wrong. Her first love is God. She would be sitting the example for her husband. 11/10/21 I see families divided and divorcing over the jab and wearing mask. These things are here to cause division and it’s working. Division in the church as well. I know Jesus wouldn’t wear a mask or take the jab. His trust would be in the father.

[@earnestlycontendingforthef5332]

The Bible does teach that whatever you tell your wife to do [as long as it is not sinful ] she must obey in "EVERYTHING" ans a true "Daughter of Sarah" will call you "Lord and her master" "6 It was thus that **Sarah obeyed Abraham [following his guidance and **acknowledging his headship over her by] **calling him lord (master, leader, authority)." 1 Peter 3:6 (AMPLIFIED BIBLE) So more of what he Bible teaches for the obedient subordination of wives to husbands. "24 As the church is subject to Christ, so let wives also be subject in **everything to their husbands." Ephesians 5:22-24 (AMPLIFIED BIBLE) **The actual word meaning ; [A primary word; ALL, ANY, EVERY, the WHOLE :- ALL (manner of, means), -Strong's Talking Greek & Hebrew Dictionary Along of course with St. Peter's instructions for the truly authentic "Daughters of Sarah". "You married women, be submissive to your own husbands [subordinate yourselves as being secondary to and dependent on them, and adapt yourselves to them], so that even if any do not obey the Word [of God], they may be won over not by discussion but by the [godly] lives of their wives, 2 When they observe the pure and modest way in which you conduct yourselves, together with your reverence [for your husband; you are to feel for him all that reverence includes: to respect, defer to, revere him-to honor, esteem, appreciate, prize, and, in the human sense, to adore him, that is, to admire, praise, be devoted to, deeply love, and enjoy your husband]. 3 Let not yours be the [merely] external adorning with [elaborate] interweaving and knotting of the hair, the wearing of jewelry, or changes of clothes; 4 But let it be the inward adorning and beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which [is not anxious or wrought up, but] is very precious in the sight of God. 5 For it was thus that the pious women of old who hoped in God were [accustomed] to beautify themselves and were submissive to their husbands [adapting themselves to them as themselves secondary and dependent upon them]. 6 It was thus that **Sarah obeyed Abraham [following his guidance and **acknowledging his headship over her by] **calling him lord (master, leader, authority). And you are now her true daughters if you do right and let nothing terrify you [not giving way to hysterical fears or letting anxieties unnerve you]. 1 Peter 3:1-6 (AMPLIFIED BIBLE)

[@AdriennesHaus]

That’s a lot of words and amplifications that are not the word in scripture … just saying.

[@AdriennesHaus]

It says submit. That is a form of surrender, heart and soul… not obedience like a dog. That’s a LOT of conjecture in the “amplified” version … the scripture depicts a mutual and reciprocal relationship

[@MrDetailer-gn9hy]

Where's verse 26 in ephesians 5? Very important verse.

[@rinabuendia3828]

wife summit to husband should also be listed on the final points in the end to remember

[@PrideofPitchers]

submission in this case simply means give complete trust, responsibility. it doesn't mean hand over complete control to the man.

[@joslyncarter4813]

@@PrideofPitchers That's right. So many believers get that part wrong. They think it means women are to be ruled by the man when in fact wives are partners.

[@PLBoogie]

Just like church submits to God, so does the wife to her husband. Does God have control over the church?

[@ondreatorrence4322]

If you have lost your virginity does that mean you no longer get married?

[@willpierce5333]

No, here's an articular that i came across once, hope it helps God bless www.gotquestions.org/born-again-virginity.html

[@TheDeenerdoo]

Ondrea Torrence I do not see the bible teaches that. There is new life in Christ, purification

[@ritafrimpong5416]

Should the man always be older than the woman, or is it okay for a woman to be a year older than the man.

[@shanataylor7252]

akos frim As far as the Bible tells us, physical age doesn't matter, but it is imperative that the two are both equally yoked, so it speaks more on spiritual maturity.

[@ritafrimpong5416]

Shana Taylor . Thanks

[@pat9545]

Did you read the scripture, Its not about age. It's about obedience aand worshi . If God is in the house his rod and his staff will comfort and protect you in all your ways. In all your ways acknowledge him and he will direct your path.

[@gonebamboo4116]

Is it true ' mutual submission ' is a false teaching? Many take that from Eph 5:21.

[@gonebamboo4116]

@EJ Everlast Yes, I know. I only dug into it after my divorce and I see other marriages falling a part. It's pretty plain to me now. Yet, is still taught

[@monwabisigrootboom442]

It's 100% heresy. 1. If the "mystery" of marriage is hidden in the fact that marriage exemplifies the ultimate marriage between Christ (the Groom) and the Church (bride), then mutual submission can't possibly be sound teaching. One of the problems you'll have with that false teaching (of mutual submission) is: How does Christ submit to the Church? 2. Ephesians 5 is divided into different sections where the Apostle Paul is addressing different themes in the Ephesian Church. Ephesians 5:21 (mutual submission) is not an umbrella for v.22. Up until v.21 he's addressing believers and how we should conduct ourselves in treating one another. It ends with the instruction to submit to one another as believers in general. Then he goes into addressing Christ's relationship with the Church, using the example of marriage. Ephesians 5:22-33 isn't even about marriage, hence v.32. That passage is about Christ and the Church.

This was the story of Human beings. When those who came down from heaven ( the fallen angels= Anunnaki races = the Pseudo Creator gods ) manipulated some DNA of the Mankind = Lemurians , other Lemurians went underground to hide to escape from these Anunnaki races from Nibiru. ( Anu the leader , Enki, Enlil, Marduk, The Sirians, the Serpent, the Martians ) or Yahweh , Thot the Atlanteans, Lucifer etc. These were the negative energies. So : those inhabitants of earth that were manipulated were called Hue-man races/beings ( Adam and Eve ). Mankind = Adam , original people, complete gender ( one individual has both sperm cell and egg cell ). They don't need to seek their partner in life. The Surgeons= Anu races experimented the DNA of Adam, and separated the two genders of Adam/ man , then they combined again the two cells and incubated inside the earth jar...came a baby girl ( Eve ). Human beings came from the dust/ incubated from the earth jar. Second experiment : The Serpent said to that Man and Woman = I am god, can you make love both of you.. ( man and woman have had a sexual intercourse : this is again joining both the sperm cell and the egg cell ). Human Beings are also called Creators...we can create a new life, new creatures. = not derived directly from any true Spiritual principles. Humans were fabricated by the Pseudo Creators ( Anunnaki races ). Sovereign Lord Emmanuel The Great = creator of the universe, and created Great Archangel CAEAYARON Great Archangel CAEAYARON = creator of all the Archangels , Angels, Soul beings, etc.( He is the God's Force, Master of all Forces ) Archangel Laeyaraesea = one of the Archangels created by Great Archangel CAEAYARON. She was the Christ Element. = Queen Nefertiti = Moses=Jesus = _____________ ? Some Archangels became resistant ( The great opposers = came down and declared themselves as Gods to the Lemurians / soul beings ). Divine Father Emmanuel and Great CAEAYARON , the spirit/force sent his /her only one Archangel Laeyaraesea ( the Christ element ) as Jesus born to mother Mary. Yahweh, the Leader of the Dark star system created Lucifer. ( The Pseudo Creators of Humans ) " By the abundance of your trading " signifies the extensive experimentation in genetic engineering and fabrication of various life forms not derived directly from any true Spiritual principles.
