What happens when the man thinks he's superior to Christ? WHY DID JEHOVAH ESTABLISH HEADSHIP? Quoting: DGN 6. Why did Jehovah establish headship? 6 Jehovah established headship out of love for his family. It is a gift from him. Headship makes it possible for Jehovah’s family to function in a peaceful, orderly way. (1 Cor. 14:33, 40) Without the clear-cut role of headship, Jehovah’s family would become disorganized and unhappy. For example, no one would know who should make final decisions and who should take the lead in carrying out those decisions. This is the consequence of this world disregarding Jehovah's headship, as was displayed by Jesus; But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4betrayers, headstrong, puffed up with pride, lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5having an appearance of godliness but proving false to its power; and from these turn away. 6From among these arise men who slyly work their way into households and captivate weak women loaded down with sins, led by various desires, always learning and yet never able to come to an accurate knowledge of truth.2Ti3 Would you say the world is getting better or worse? |

Quoting: DGN 4 As Head of his universal family, Jehovah has the authority to make rules about how his children should behave, and he is able to enforce those rules. (Isa. 33:22) Jesus, as head of the Christian congregation, also has the right to make and enforce rules.—Gal. 6:2; Col. 1:18-20. Likewise human fathers have authority to set house rules of behavior for the common good but do they have authority of the offspring's personal beliefs? |

Immediately He departed from everything and fasted and drank only water and went 40 days no food. Only water. He was ministered to by angels and demons. He was learning more. Knowing His Father, He was tempted by the Satan, this is an entity that lives within...us. Board in your eye. Splinters. He called His disciples out quite a few times. For eyes which see. Ears that hear. And a sound mind of understanding. God is magical to me, which I perceive in others. In the image. I seek to understand. I seek to awaken the Kingdom of Heaven within you. Christ says to deny ourselves. He denied Himself in the wilderness. |

What happens when the man thinks he's superior to Christ? 7 If God’s arrangement for headship is such a good thing, why do so many women today feel oppressed and dominated by their husband? This is because many men ignore Jehovah’s standards for the family and choose instead to follow local customs or traditions. They may also abuse their wives to satisfy some selfish desire. For example, a husband might dominate his wife in an attempt to boost his self-respect or to prove to others that he is a “real man.” He may reason that he cannot force his wife to love him, but he can make her fear him. And he may use that fear as a way to control her. * That type of thinking and conduct clearly deprives women of the honor and respect to which they are entitled, and it is directly opposite to what Jehovah wants.—Read Ephesians 5:25, 28. |

In unconditional love, there is no rank, hierarchy, separation, or superiority; only doing what is best for others. Good thoughts but unconditional love without requirements, doesn't that describe pets? Did the Teacher say God has no requirements? Jesus approached and spoke to them, saying: “All authority has been given me in heaven and on the earth. 19Go, therefore, and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, 20teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.” Mt28:19 |
