Tiffany, I’m sorry to hear that you sprained your ankle. Hopefully, your husband will help with the housework. I know how it piles up. 🙂

Tiffany,
”I think you and I have very different views about the lordship of Christ over the Church.”

Since you are now questioning my relationship with the Lord, I think it behooves you if you explain what you mean and quote what statements lead you to think such. Otherwise, it makes you come off as attempting to discredit someone just because they disagree with you.

”Just like the animal sacrifices are a model of the sacrifice that is to come (designed that way from the beginning by God, not referenced in retrospect) so marriage was designed from the beginning as a model of Christ and the Church.”

It’s pretty easy to recollect the many Scriptures that show us that Levitical Priests sacrifices before God for sin were a forerunner of the last and greatest sacrifice of God’s Son. But please show me a Scripture that says that marriage was designed as a model of the Messiah’s relationship with fallen humanity. And please further show where husbands represent The Messiah and wives represent fallen humanity.
