ephesians 5:22

No, Ephesians 5-6 is NOT primarily about marriage. No, it does NOT teach wifely submission or that a man is the head of the house. This passage DOES teach how Spirit-filled believers are to walk out their life in Christ. Believers are to teach and admonish other believers from the Word of God. In turn they all are to submit to the teaching and correction they receive from one another. This passage is about RECIPROCAL SUBMISSION and unity with Jesus in the Body of Christ! Dive Deeper?

Hear how Pastor Jay Pound took insights on Ephesians 5-6 from the book Beyond Eden and preached his Sunday sermon. "This passage has generated a lot of controversy, a lot of discussion ..." says Pastor Jay from the start on this episode of The Eden Podcast brought to you by the Tru316 Foundation (Tru316.com). 

As Bruce C. E. Fleming reveals, this passage is NOT primarily about marriage and certainly NOT AT ALL about so-called wifely submission. This passage IS about relationships in the church with one another and with Jesus Christ.

Those who are filled with the Spirit build up one another and submit to one another in a beneficial reciprocal relationship.

Have you seen the literary patterns that speak to us in Ephesians 5:15-6:9? They prevent us from taking these verses out of context.

Paul teaches that believers are to be mutually building up one another. They are to teach and correct one another. And they are to submit themselves to what they are receiving fro one another. This is a HORIZONTAL and RECIPROCAL SUBMISSION that is world's away from the vertical submission many people teach about these verses.

Christian wives and husbands serve as an excellent example of this functional unity in Christ. These verses are not primarily about marriage. Rather, they illustrate how to be being filled with the Spirit (5:18b). They give us a picture of the unity of the body of Christ that is the central idea of this passage (5:31-32).

Beth is an enthusiastic supporter of Aggie students in College Station, Texas! She is also an enthusiastic student in our Tru School Workshops and was one of the first to complete all 4!

1. The Eden Workshop on Genesis 2-3
2. The Beyond Eden Workshop on Ephesians 5-6
3. The Back to Eden Workshop on 1 Timothy 2-3
4. The Because of Eden Workshop on 1 Corinthians 11 & 14 and 1 Peter 3!

Beth has done weekly Bible studies using Joy and Bruce’s many books on women and men in the light of Eden and enthusiastically displays her collection. And her downhome wisdom has enriched many others along the way as she recounts stories of how she and her husband apply what she is learning. 

Hear The Both Thomas Story on this episode of The Eden Podcast!

Beth Thomas is a Certified General Appraiser specializing in land and special purpose institutional real estate valuation. She has worked in several major fields within Real Estate for 35 years. She has been married 40 years, with five grown children and three grandsons.

Her desire to understand the true meanings of the Bible and thus how to live and love well because of truly understanding God’s written word were born out of her own painful experiences with church leaders where scriptures were badly interpreted to the point that the “Gospel” was not Good News at all.  And yet, Jesus kept drawing her back to the Bible with that beautiful promise that “Jesus (really) is the Way, Truth & Life and that the Truth (really) will set us free!”  

In her professional life, research is the backbone of valuation. “Just the Facts, Ma’am.” (Reference: The old Dragnet TV series quote). Determined to know what the Truth is, even if she didn’t like it, she applied her research skills for the past 20 years to learn how to learn what the Bible meant to tell us. That is why she is ecstatic about the important research work made clear in The Eden Podcast series.

God didn't punish or restrict women in Eden or in the Church. But many people think that is just what God did. Before The Eden Podcast was launched, and The Eden Book Series was published, the Reverend Bruce C. E. Fleming, DEA, taught a major series of lessons you can now find on YouTube that are here being made available for you on Season 11 of The Eden Podcast. The so called "clobber passages" are each made clear in this series.

The meaning of Ephesians 5:22 is discovered in the matrix it is found in. Briefly, Paul turns to the relationship of married Spirit-filled believers to demonstrate how all members of the church build up one another.

Christian wives submit to the teaching and admonition they receive from their Spirit-filled husbands. And reciprocally, Christian husbands submit to the teaching and admonition they receive from their Spirit-filled wives.

The discussion in this Episode draws from the book Beyond Eden, Ephesians 5:15-6:9.

"Vertical submission" is NOT what Paul teaches in Ephesians 5:19 and following. He replaces that with "horizontal submission." Christ is our model. Sadly, most people have the over/under idea of vertical submission in mind as they read these verses. 

Paul encourages Christians to teach and admonish one another (verse 5:19a). Then they are to submit to this teaching and correction they are receiving from one another (verse 21).

This is a horizontal RECIPROCAL SUBMISSION. This is how Spirit-filled believers build up one another in the body of Christ.

We must first find the limits of the well-built passage in Ephesians 5-6. Then we can notice the main parts of this long passage. And only thirdly can we look at words, phrases and verses in their appropriate places in the development of thought in the whole passage.

The Book of Ephesians in chapters 4-6 is written in six major Sections. each one starting with "therefore walk." In Ephesians 5-6 the start is in verse 15 which begins with "Therefore walk ...." The next Section begins in 6:10 with the words "Therefore stand...."

There is a jump, jump, high jump structure in Section 5. There are four points made in 5:15-18, and four more made in 5:19a-21. These are the first two "jump" portions. The "high jump" portion runs from 5:19-6:9 and the center or high point is located in 5:32. This is the defining idea of the entire passage. But who has pointed you to it before? Some commentators hardly mention verse 32 at all.

This interview was recently conducted by Natalie Anne Hoffman on episode 135 of The Flying Free Podcast. I think you’ll appreciate her perspective and way of evaluating what we are discussing on this episode. 

These are  her own words straight from the introductory comments she posted online explaining this episode to her audience:

It took 11 words to change the world. 11 words misinterpreted. 11 words misunderstood. 11 words manipulated. 
A single sentence from the mouth of God to the first woman...Eve. A pronouncement. A prediction. A curse. Or was it?
Do you know these words? 
Prepare yourself. Because you’re about to learn their TRUE meaning. 
It might blow. your. mind. And it will change the world...again. 

Then Natalie added this: 
Why this episode is a must listen:
- The What: Bruce’s wife spent seven years researching her doctoral dissertation on 11 words. He followed with his own research on correlating New Testament verses. 
- The Why: How your understanding of those 11 words affects your view of women, men, God, and your entire existence.
- The Are You Kidding Me?: A clear, precise explanation of those 11 words. You may scream. You may dance. You may fist pump several times. You may run around the block screaming incoherently. It’s that good. 
- WARNING: Bring an extra pair of socks. Because this episode is going to blow them clean off!

Sheila Wray Gregoire is an excellent and insightful  interviewer. This Bonus Episode for The Eden Podcast is taken from the last section of Episode 111 of The Bare Marriage Podcast where she interviews Bruce C. E. Fleming on the word "head" and his new book Beyond Eden, Ephesians 5-6.

In this interview they both refer to her first interview of Bruce on Episode 99 on The Bare Marriage Podcast. There she questioned Bruce about The Book of Eden, Genesis 2-3 and the importance of getting right a verse that has been gotten wrong for the last hundred years. It is Genesis 3:16, and especially Line 1 in the Hebrew text. 

In her research Dr. Joy Fleming found that God didn't curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way! Though most all modern translations make the verse look like God did that. It turns out that when Genesis 3:16 is made clear the seven passages on women and men in the Bible can be made clear. This BONUS Episode of The Eden Podcast is about one of those passages, the one in Ephesians 5-6.  

Beyond Eden, Ephesians 5-6 is available on Amazon HERE as a Kindle e-book and as a 118-page paperback complete with Study Guides after each chapter. Beyond Eden and The Book of Eden are also available as audiobooks on Audible.
