“I think you are trying to push what i was saying to mean something else. Of course i don’t think we do things in our own ‘power’. Maybe my australian terminology is interfering in this concept. The point is, in both situations the husband/elders/leaders put others first and dont lord it over others/wives.”

I understand your main point, Mark. But by what means then do husbands and pastors have to make wives and sheep more like Christ? What are you saying? If it’s not in your own power then what is it? And what Scripture do you get this idea (whatever it is) from? How does any person become more like Christ? What are you saying, if it’s not one’s “own” power? Do people only become more like Christ through husbands and pastors? Or do they mainly become more like Christ through husbands and pastors or is their best chance to become more like Christ through husbands and pastors?
