That is not all he has to say on the subject, and on how it relates to mutual submission in the church. The interesting thing is that he is not coming at this from a gender perspective at all, but from a broader one of relationships in the church.Peter Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395635409427347613noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19505042.post-37483125831845810022008-09-13T13:35:00.000-07:002008-09-13T13:35:00.000-07:00Thanks.

When Jesus said "not my will, but yours", he is supposed to have been referring to the united will of the Godhead in distinction from his human will. I'm not sure that I entirely take this line, but I accept that the wills of the three Persons are entirely aligned. I would say that this comes about because they are entirely one in purpose and have a consensus on everything.Peter Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13395635409427347613noreply@blogger.com
