My friend, God has designed that the husband be the head of the household and that the wife be in subjection to him. This relationship is not because of sin, but was this way in the beginning. Eve was to be a help-met for Adam, supporting him as being the head of the race.
In the creation of man, God gave an example to the angels and the unfallen worlds the relationship between the Father and the Son. Satan had brought into question the authority of the Son of God, claiming that he had as much a right to enter into the counsels of God as did the Son of God. Thus in the creation of man the Father gave an illustration as to why the only begotten Son of God could enter into all of His counsels.
Adam being created first was to represent the Father, and Eve the Son. Eve was not created as Adam was, but was brought forth from him. Thus Eve inherited the same human nature as Adam. In the same way the Son of God was brought forth from the very bosom of the Father, inheriting the divine nature of God. In this way the Son of God is superior to all of creation, for He was not created but begotten.
From this we can see that the relationship between the husband and wife is to be as the relationship between the Father and the Son. Both are equally human, but as Adam came first, he is to be the head. This beautiful relationship is further shown in the relationship between Christ and the Church. "But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God." (1 Corinthians 1:3).
How sad it is today that the churches belief in the trinity destroys this beautiful reality. By introducing a third person into the mix and claiming that these are all co-equal and co-eternal, it has corrupted the beautiful relationship between the Father and the Son.
The trinity teaching that the Father and Son are only metaphors, destroys the love of God in giving us His Son. This is spoken of by the apostle John saying "Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son. Whosoever denieth the Son, the same hath not the Father: (but) he that acknowledgeth the Son hath the Father also." (1 John 2:22, 23).
My friend, if you believe in the trinity, you are believing in a lie, and as such you are not receiving the very life of God given to us through His Son. Our eternal salvation is based upon receiving the Son of God, not God the Son. The life that we need is the divine life of God and that can only come through the Son, "For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;" (John 5:26).
God bless,
