“We can look in classical Greek or koine Greek and we will find many general usages of a word and some specific or special usages… we have tons of this in English: “He lives in a vacuum.” No one can really live in a vacuum, they would die. We didn’t invent broad usages of words.”

Andy,
I luv your example using ‘vacuum’!

“Is that not the point that Jesus made for the husband, to lay down his life for his wife as He did for those He called out? The head is to be the strong man of the house and protect his home. He is not to be a hireling that runs in the sight of danger. He is to protect them and provide for them.”

And many times, as for a friend of mine, these have been “roles” are reversed. Her husband suffered a head injury in an auto accident that has left him in near vegetative state since 1998. God has given her the “role” to lead, protect and provide for her husband.
