1. The difference in male and
female
‘Rights’ is actually used to mean the
authority of the minority.
2. P.C. world: everyone has special claim to ‘rights’ Human
rights, Animal rights, Consumer rights, Women rights,
Disabled persons rights, Property rights, Reproductive
rights….
Dose God have Rights?
(Rom 9:20) Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest
against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that
formed it, Why hast thou made me thus?
3. The fact or Right of God… you have the
entire message I’m giving.
(Gal 1:6-8) I marvel that ye are so soon removed
from him that called you into the grace of
Christ unto another gospel:
Which is not another; but there be some that
trouble you, and would pervert the gospel of
Christ.
But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach
any other gospel unto you than that which we
have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
4. The fact reinforced v9
(Gal 1:9) As we said before, so say I now again, If
any man preach any other gospel unto you
than that ye have received, let him be
accursed.
5. Fact- Man, He, Husband
(1Tim 3:1-2) This is a true saying, If a man desire
the office of a bishop, he desireth a good
work.
(1Tim 3:2) A bishop then must be blameless, the
husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good
behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
6. What is so special about a man?
(1Tim 3:4) One that ruleth well his own house,
having his children in subjection with all
gravity;
Paul’s explanation for the restriction
(1Tim 3:5) (For if a man know not how to rule
his own house, how shall he take care of the
church of God?)
7. The Devil doesn’t mind if you obey some of the
Bible as long as you have the ‘right’ to decide what
is relevant to your situation.
(2Thess 2:7-12) For the mystery of iniquity doth already work: only he
who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way.
8) And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume
with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his
coming:
9) Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power
and signs and lying wonders,
10) And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish;
because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved.
11) And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they
should believe a lie:
12) That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had
pleasure in unrighteousness.
8. History of division of authority
between Male/female.
(Gen 3:1) Now the serpent was more subtil than any
beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And
he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall
not eat of every tree of the garden?
(Gen 3:16) Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply
thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt
bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy
husband, and he shall rule over thee.
• In ‘the fall’ Eve usurped the authority of Adam (Gen
3:6) she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave
also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.
9. The Trinity has an authority structure
(1Cor 11:3) 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.
(1Cor 11:8-10) For the man is not of the woman;
but the woman of the man.
(1Cor 11:9) Neither was the man created for the
woman; but the woman for the man.
(1Cor 11:10) For this cause ought the woman to
have power on her head because of the angels.
10. • The wife should have a God given spiritual
protection between her and the spirit world.
(God gave man the rule/power over the woman.
The apostles were given power over the spirit
world {Mat.10:1,8, Lk. 9:1})
Eve was deceived; Adam abandoned the throne.
(1Tim 2:13-14) For Adam was first formed, then
Eve.
(1Tim 2:14) And Adam was not deceived, but the
woman being deceived was in the transgression.
11. Authority to cancel a vow made to
God (Num 30:1-12)
1) And Moses spake … This is the thing which the LORD hath
commanded.
2) If a man vow a vow unto the LORD, or swear an oath to bind his soul
with a bond; he shall not break his word, he shall do according to all
that proceedeth out of his mouth.
3) If a woman also vow a vow unto the LORD…being in her father's
house …
4) And her father hear her vow…, and her father shall hold his peace at
her: then all her vows shall stand
5) But if her father disallow… the LORD shall forgive her, because her
father disallowed her.
6) And if she had at all an husband, when she vowed…
7) And her husband heard it, and held his peace …her vows shall
stand…
12. 8) But if her husband disallowed …the LORD shall forgive her.
9) But every vow of a widow, and of her that is divorced,
wherewith they have bound their souls, shall stand against
her.
10) And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul
by a bond with an oath;
11) And her husband heard it, and held his peace at her, and
disallowed her not: then all her vows shall stand, and every
bond wherewith she bound her soul shall stand.
12) But if her husband hath utterly made them void on the day
he heard them; then whatsoever proceeded out of her lips
concerning her vows, or concerning the bond of her soul, shall
not stand: her husband hath made them void; and the LORD
shall forgive her.
13. You never out rank your position
(Col 3:18-25)
25) Wives, submit …
19) Husbands, love your wives…
20) Children, obey…
21) Fathers, provoke not your children…
22) Servants, obey…
23) And whatsoever ye do, do it heartily, as to the Lord,
and not unto men;
24) Knowing that of the Lord ye shall receive the reward
of the inheritance: for ye serve the Lord Christ.
25) But he that doeth wrong shall receive for the wrong
which he hath done: and there is no respect of
persons.
14. Unusual command
(Titus 2:4) That they may teach the young women to be
sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,….
Only time woman commanded to love their husband.
(Titus 2:5) To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good,
obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God
be not blasphemed.
It should be more natural for a woman to love their
husband (Gen. 3:16) only one command of this kind
given to the woman; however, it always accompanies
the commands given to a husband… love your wife.
15. THE WOMAN IN THE CHURCH:
(1Tim 2:11) Let the woman learn in silence with all
subjection.
(1Tim 2:12) But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to
usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
(1Tim 3:2) A bishop then must be blameless, the husband
of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to
hospitality, apt to teach;
(1Pet 2:25) For ye were as sheep going astray; but are
now returned unto the Shepherd and Bishop of your
souls.
16. Silent in the leadership roll not in
extemporaneous praise, the final
authority in the church should be
male.
(1Cor 14:34) Let your women keep silence in the
churches: for it is not permitted unto them to
speak; but they are commanded to be under
obedience, as also saith the law.
(1Cor 14:35) And if they will learn any thing, let
them ask their husbands at home: for it is a
shame for women to speak in the church.
17. The Oracle of Delphi
Corinth/south west of Delphi… The Oracle of
Delphi. A woman priest (the pithia) enter the
temple of Apollo 9times a year (7days after the
new moon) and fall into a trance, speak in
tongues as ‘excathredra’ from the god Apollo
prophesying the events of the future.
Paul is exposing the heresy of Delphi by enforcing
the Truth not by studying the counterfeit.

18. • The Apostles and leaders of the Church were
all men. The replacement for Judas Acts 1 was
a choice of 2men (Justus, and Matthias).
1Cor. 14:34 …women keep silence in the
churches… as also saith the law. (first 5 books
of the Bible)
• Amram and Jockabed: Mariam, Aaron, Moses-
only the boys given the priesthood.
• Numb. 12 Mariam and Aaron confront Moses
about his wife. Punishment given to Mariam
(leprosy) not to Aaron.
19. (Eph 5:1) Be ye therefore followers of God, as dear
children;
What do we know about ‘children’? …obey, honor,
(Eph 5:2) And walk in love, as Christ also hath loved
us, and hath given himself for us an offering and a
sacrifice to God for a sweetsmelling savour.
Life in Christ = love
20. Don’ts for child of God
(Eph 5:3-8)
3) But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it
not be once named among you, as becometh saints;
4) Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are
not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
5) For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean
person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any
inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
6) Let no man deceive you with vain words: for because of
these things cometh the wrath of God upon the children of
disobedience.
7) Be not ye therefore partakers with them.
8) For ye were sometimes darkness, but now are ye light in
the Lord: walk as children of light:
21. Clift notes to judge your walk by
(Eph 5:9) (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all
goodness and righteousness and truth;)
(Eph 5:10) Proving what is acceptable unto the
Lord.
22. Don’t play in the dark b/c you won’t be
able to spot error
(Eph 5:11) And have no fellowship with the
unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove
them.
12) For it is a shame even to speak of those things
which are done of them in secret.
13) But all things that are reproved are made
manifest by the light: for whatsoever doth make
manifest is light.
14) Wherefore he saith, Awake thou that sleepest,
and arise from the dead, and Christ shall give
thee light.
23. Fool: one who is fooled 1Tim. 2:14
(Eph 5:15) See then that ye walk circumspectly,
not as fools, but as wise,
(Eph 5:16) Redeeming the time, because the
days are evil.
24. How to ‘Redeem’ time
(Eph 5:17) Wherefore be ye not unwise, but
understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18) And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess;
but be filled with the Spirit;
19) Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns
and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in
your heart to the Lord;
20) Giving thanks always for all things unto God and
the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
25. • Everyone has someone to submit to
(Eph 5:21) Submitting yourselves one to another
in the fear of God.
26. Wife/husband as if he were the Lord
(Eph 5:22) Wives, submit yourselves unto your own
husbands, as unto the Lord.
• Why- Gods creation always points to the
Godhead (Ps 19, Rom. 1:20)
(Eph 5:23) For the husband is the head of the wife,
even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is
the saviour of the body.
24) Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ,
so let the wives be to their own husbands in
every thing.
27. Command to love means it is not what
is natural.
(Eph 5:25) Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also
loved the church, and gave himself for it;
26) That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the
washing of water by the word,
27) That he might present it to himself a glorious church,
not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that
it should be holy and without blemish.
28) So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies.
He that loveth his wife loveth himself.
29) For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but
nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the
church:
28. 3parts to a Godly creation
• (trinity, family) husband & wife = marriage if
joined by God
• (Eph 5:30) For we are members of his body, of
his flesh, and of his bones.
• (Eph 5:31) For this cause shall a man leave his
father and mother, and shall be joined unto
his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.
29. Mystery reviled
• Acts 17:28-30 winked at Mat. 19:6-8
• (Eph 5:32) This is a great mystery: but I speak
concerning Christ and the church.
30. • Husband love (x2), Wife-submit v.22
Reverence v.33
• (Eph 5:33) Nevertheless let every one of you
in particular so love his wife even as himself;
and the wife see that she reverence her
husband.
