11 Patterns of submission & headship in the Bible For wives to deny they must submit to their husbands means they must deny the inspiration of scripture itself.

For women to refuse to submit to their husbands becomes quite illogical, unless they rebel in all 11 categories.

Lesson 18: Obedience To The Gospel Obedience To The Gospel After Jesus had died for our sins, was resurrected and just before he ascended into heaven, he commanded his apostles in Mark 16:15-16, "And he said to them, Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned." Our Lord wanted the gospel preached to everyone. The word "gospel" literally means good news or good tidings. In Romans 1:16 the apostle Paul says, "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation for everyone who believes; for the Jew first, and also for the Greek." So we see that the gospel of Christ is God's only power unto salvation. It is by the gospel or good news that God saves us. What does the Bible say that the gospel is that saves us?

Christ Yes! ... The church, No??? Is such a position valid? Can the "Jesus, Yes! Church, No!" syndrome be justified? To be sure, all sorts of things may be wrong with religious institutions. On occasion churches have been smug, complacent, selfrighteous, impersonal, unfeeling, dated and stuffy. More than once God's people with God's message have forgotten God's purpose for them in the world. Such confession is good for the corporate soul. Still, after we have rehearsed the sometimes failings of today's church, a strong case can be made for the defense. More to the point, anyone who takes Christ seriously will take the church seriously. Why? For at least three reasons. First, the church fulfills a functional requirement; it supplies organization.

The Interactive Bible: On the divine side, of course, Jesus is the head of the church. The New Testament is very clear in setting out the qualifications of the men who are to guide the affairs of the church. There are two separate passages of scripture which give these qualifications. One is I Timothy 3:1-13. The other is found in Titus 1:6-9. Let us first look at the qualifications of elders. Combining the two passages from I Timothy and Titus, it is easy to see that the qualifications of elders fall naturally into three groups. Some are positive, some are negative, and some are special. With the exception of the special qualifications, these are qualities which ... The positive qualifications include the following: blameless, vigilant, sober, of good behavior, given to hospitality, one that rules well his own house, a good report of them without, a lover of good men, just, holy, temperate, holding fast the faithful word.

Third-Why should one be baptized? Fortunately, the Bible speaks to each of these questions in simple and uncomplicated language which we can understand without difficulty.

The canon of the Bible: What the apostolic fathers and apologists ... "He [Graham N.

In Dialogue 103.8 he refers to "memoirs" composed by Jesus' apostles and by those who followed them." As noted above, this remark corresponds to the evidence that the early church thought that two gospels were written by apostles (Matthew and John), and two by followers of apostles (Mark as the interpreter of Peter, as per the Papias fragment, and Luke as the companion of Paul).
