1 Corinthians 11:11

1Corinthians 11:8–12 (ESV) — 8 For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. 9 Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 That is why a wife ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man nor man of woman; 12 for as woman was made from man, so man is now born of woman. And all things are from God.  REVIEW:  THE APPLICATION OF 3 TRUTHS OF HEADSHIP 1 Corinthians 11:3 (ESV) — 3 But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.  (v8-9) MARRIAGE & DISTINCTION IN GENDER ROLES  ARE  ROOTED IN THE DESIGN OF GOD’S CREATION, NOT THE DISASTER OF SIN’S CORRUPTION a.   1 Corinthians 11:8-10,  Genesis 1 & 2,  Matthew 19:4, 1 Timothy 2:13  (v10) THE DESIGN OF GOD IS PURPOSED IN THE DISPLAY OF HIS GLORY IN ALL CREATION a.       1 Corinthians 11:10, 1 Peter 1:10-12, Ephesians 1:7-10  Week 4: (v11-12) MEN AND WOMEN EXIST IN RELATIONSHIP INTERDEPENDENT ON ONE ANOTHER,  AND ALWAYS DEPENDENT ON GOD.   INTERDEPENDENCE  BY DESIGN (11a) LIKE ALL THINGS COMPLETELY DEPENDENT ON GOD (11b)  MALE & FEMALE DECLARED EQUAL IN VALUE DIFFERENT INROLE…1.        Equal in Value (Genesis 1:27-28, 1 Peter 3:7) 2.        Different in role a.        Physically (1 Peter 3:7, Jeremiah 50:37, 51:30, Nahum3:13) b.        Functionally  (1 Cor 11:3, 14:34,  1 Timothy 2:11-13, 3:1-11)            THREE MODERN POSITIONSTO COMMUNICATE GENDER RELATIONSHIPS (Egalitarian, Complementarianism, Biblical Patriarchy)Principles in such debates: 1.       Be responsive to scripture more than you are reactive to society.2.       Find unity in the word of God, more than you debate the words of men.         HELPFUL DEFINITIONS OFBIBLICAL MASCULINITY AND FEMININITY “AT THE HEART OF MATURE MASCULINITY IS A SENSE OF BENEVOLENT RESPONSIBILITY TO LEAD, PROVIDEFOR AND PROTECT WOMEN IN WAYS APPROPRIATE TO A MAN’S DIFFERING RELATIONSHIPS.” “AT THE HEART OF MATURE FEMININITY IS A FREEING DISPOSITION TO AFFIRM, RECEIVE AND NURTURESTRENGTH AND LEADERSHIP FROM WORTHY MEN IN WAYS APPROPRIATE TO A WOMAN’SDIFFERING RELATIONSHIPS.”Grudem, Wayne.
