A matriarch is a female leader of a society in which women hold power, and some existing communities feature women-only groups or exclusively female-led societies. These groups and societies are often characterized by women making major decisions, controlling property and wealth through female lineage, and sometimes serving as the foundation for communities built to support women who have experienced gender-based violence. Key Characteristics or Attributes Leadership: Women hold leadership positions and make major decisions for the group. Inheritance: Property and wealth are often passed down through the female line. Social Structure: In some societies, a matriarch heads the household, with lineage traced through her side of the family.

The statement is a matter of perspective, as a person is not a virgin in the (conventional) sense but is sexually exclusive to their spouse. The term "virgin" typically refers to someone who has never had sexual intercourse. However, in a marriage, the commitment to only have sex with one's spouse is a key aspect of fidelity and exclusivity. This exclusive behavior can be seen as a metaphorical "virginity" within the context of marriage, as the married person maintains sexual purity with respect to anyone outside of that union. Sexual exclusivity: The core concept is maintaining a sexual relationship exclusively with one's spouse, which is the foundation of a monogamous marriage.

MALE HEADSHIP IN THE BIBLICAL FAMILY The Biblical concept of father and the authority of the father derive from the ontological Trinity. God created mankind male and female, and He instituted the creation ordinance of marriage and family with male headship (Gn. 1:26-28; 2:18-25). Since the pattern and authority of fatherhood derive from God, a human father's authority is never absolute. God set moral limits on the father's authority. Thus, children must never obey an immoral command (as defined by God's word). Therefore, the patriarchal family is not merely a man-made primitive sociological convention that may be discarded by moderns with impunity.

We concur with the conclusion of JBD: CONCLUSION: Paul is speaking of human relationships at all levels; he is describing a hierarchy of men in general over women in general. ... First Corinthians 11:3 is a foundational verse, and any attempt to define the role of women in ministry that fails to take it into consideration is bound to be flawed. This verse represents the underlying principle for Paul's theology relative to male-female role relationships... There is no justifiable reason to confine male headship to the home and/or church only. Men are to be the authoritative leaders in every area where human relationships are involved.

Ephesians 5:21. There are a series of submissions in this context. We are going to take the wife's submission in this chapter…. There are some who teach "mutual submission" of husbands and wives in the family and in the home. They say this is so because verse twenty-one precedes verse twenty-two. They say that this is why we have mutual submission in the home. In effect, they are saying that nobody is "in charge". Nobody is the head of the home. This is not scriptural. But what is being taught in many fundamental churches all over the country?

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me because he hath anointed me to preach..." That Women Ought Not to Teach Because It is Unseemly; And What Women Followed Our Lord.V I. We do not permit our women to teach in the Church, 1 Corinthians 14:34 but only to pray and hear those that teach; for our Master and Lord, Jesus Himself, when He sent us the twelve to make disciples of the people and of the nations, did nowhere send out women to preach, although He did not want such, for there were with us the mother of our Lord and His sisters; also Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Martha and Mary the sisters of Lazarus; Salome, and certain others.

While Jezebel is not a "female Judas" in a literal sense, similarities are often drawn between them as symbols of evil and betrayal, though Jezebel represents female treachery and Judas represents male treachery. Both figures are deeply involved in a betrayal that harms the people of God, though their methods and motivations differ. Jezebel incited others to evil through political marriage and religious idolatry, whereas Judas personally betrayed Jesus for money. SIMILARITIES Symbols of evil and betrayal: Both have become enduring symbols of treachery in their respective genders within Christian tradition.

God's goal is to bring us back to where He intended to be before Adam fell. Dr. J Vernon McGee With another of McFall’s arguments, I fully agree. He points to the scriptures, which teach that if we are not willing to forgive others, we cannot expect to be forgiven ourselves (Matthew 6:14–15; 18:23–35). This must surely apply when married spouses sin against each other, including adultery, though we must add the crucial phrase ‘if he repents’ (Luke 17:3). To be practical, separation may be the only possible solution in exceptional circumstances (for example, extreme abuse or cruelty), but to resort to divorce is to accuse a spouse of committing an unforgivable sin, either then or at any time in the future.

You cannot serve God and money. You’ll hate one and love the other. Easiest way to dethrone money in your heart is to become generous. God provides the security we believe only money gives. This is not a prosperity promise or push for poverty. It’s just a reminder to myself and all who care. Money won’t protect us. It’s a good servant and a terrible master. When I was broke, God provided. Now when I’m blessed, God is behind the provision. Everyone says they’ll be generous when they get “more” money.

So far as regards the non- destruction of the will of God, and the restruction of the law of the beginning. But another reason, too, conspires; nay, not another, but (one) which imposed the law of the beginning, and moved the will of God to prohibit divorce: the fact that (he) who shall have dismissed his wife, except on the ground of adultery, makes her commit adultery; and (he) who shall have married a (woman) dismissed by her husband, of course commits adultery. A divorced woman cannot even marry legitimately; and if she commit any such act without the name of marriage, does it not fall under the category of adultery, in that adultery is crime in the way of marriage?

Dr. D.A.Waite, Th.D., Ph.D.: The Greek word for "depart" is in the Greek Aorist tense. Being a negative prohibition in that tense, it means not to even begin this action of departure from her husband. The true Christian wife should not leave her husband. Nor, by application, the genuine Christian husband should not leave his wife. If this happens, there are only two alternatives, (1) The first alternative is for the wife to remain unmarried for the rest of her life.(2) The second alternative is for the wife to patch things up with her husband and be reconciled to him.
