Thanks be to God and mcgi for another wonderful explorative teachings at the mass indoctrination day 5.
Important points I learnt from God's word discussed.
For God to listen to our prayer our heart and tongue should be clean.
1 Corinthians 7:3 talks about there should be a symbiotic relationship between the man and his wife.
The husband should give the wife what's due to her. The wife should submit to her husband and not deprive him of anything. If there's abstinence, it should be a mutual understanding. Control should be applied to the body for some time.
Christ is the head of the church. The man is the head and provider. It's his responsibility to provide.
1 Timothy 5:18 talks about a man who doesn't provide for his family, that he's an infidel. For the head of a woman to have glory she has to cover her head. A man shouldn't have a covering on his head. A woman covering her head is a sign of authority and she's under Christ. A covering on the head of a woman is a sign of submission.
1 Corinthians 11:45 talks about the fact that the long hair of a woman is given by God. It's a shame for a man to have long hair. A woman should have a covering before she prays. It's a sign of authority. Men are prohibited from growing long hair. The hair of the man is a representation of Christ.
Esphesian 5:25 talks about how all men should love their wife. He that loves his wife loves himself.
Proverbs 19:14 talks about a man being lucky to have a prudent wife. It's like finding the blessing of God.
A wife is a favour from God. God won't listen to your prayer if you're cruel to your wife.
Colosians 3:19 talks about the fact that men shouldn't be bitter to their wife. You shouldn't yell at your wife. Treating your wife as a slave is prohibited in the true church. Love your wife as your own selves. The woman should take care of her body to be pleasing to her husband and for him not to desire other women.
The following were my old beliefs or expectations that were improved by listening.
How teaching affects me as a better person.
1 Christ is the head of the church.
