“And at the end of it all, let us not forget the metaphor which God has used to express this truth. Marriage. For as God’s metaphor our marriages are supposed to reflect this truth; to ourselves, to each other, and to those around us.”

I am late to this party and have not read all comments but NN has a problem in the NC. Namely 1 Corin 7. With his scenerio, every believer would have to be married to express this “truth”. He is simply taking a metaphor way too far and adding extrabiblical proportions to it for the husband whom he makes out to be a sort of godlike figure to the wife. Blasphemy!
