Theocratic Order

Exactly Which Order are we talking about?

The one in which we let God rule. In allowing God to rule, we therefore of course act out of love for each other.

Now does this have anything to do with man serving God and woman serving man?
I've heard rumors...

LOL ~ Nasty things those rumors. It's best to leave them alone.

If one acts out of love, who is being served and who is doing the serving?

It has to do with subjection, not serving per se. God is the highest ruler. Christ is in subjection to him. Man is in subjection to Christ. And in the family arrangement, the wife is in subjection to the man and the children in subjection to her.


Subjection:under the rule of another or others, especially one who owes allegiance.

In the song 1+1+1=3,(live concert), Prince says that for a woman to do what she is supposed to do, you men have to do what you're supposed to do...Don't get it twisted!, he says.

The man is to love his wife as he does himself. He is to love her and cherish her.
So...how's everybody doing? smile

Wrong. That's not what it says in the Scriptures. it says "man should love his wife as Christ loves the church"

chain me 2 a leash ... im in 2... how cute & quiet our world will b... hehe smile wink

pussy power

My twocents
i believe FreeChild's analysis is on the right track ... the prefix 2 the term implies the right/idea of a ‘Government of/by God’ ... its a system that encourages equal order not CONTROL over 1 another... the application u c would b a win-win outlook!

By singing about it Prince i think isnt stuffing any view down our throats, remember its u who decides what impact his words can make... so why is every1 (esp funkbible wink )always paranoid of brainwash .. silly really ... & a bit insulting 2 think if u ask me ... :p
Got Gackt??! wildsign thumbs up!

I agree. If you don't like the content don't listen. Why do we not accuse everyone that ever writes a lyric of trying to brainwash us. The only reason Prince is getting it in the neck is coz he now says he is JW. So what!!!
He has a right to share his thoughts just like we do. If we don't agree that is our right.
Brainwashing what a load of cobblers. If you think you are being brainwashed remove yourself from the situation. Do something positive not negative. Or are you trying to brainwash all the orgers with your views---no. So don't accuse others.
End of soapbox session.

So that's cool that the man should Cherish his woman and all. What's wrong with Family anyway and loving God? I say nothing at all! Just that Prince got Conservative and he used to be Liberal. Now he's tamed himself and Why I'll Never Know,but I'm Not doing It! That's when you are 100. Before that you gotta Party and have Mad Sex! Gotta Serve Somebody ...Gotta please your own Damn self then you be Happy and can Love God. Until then you all will Bitch. Specially Me!

"Gotta Serve Somebody" by Bob Dylan has some really cool lyrics!

Maybe Prince is trying to give us a solution to the the high rate of divorce. Maybe he is trying to share with us what the bible says about relationships. And why is it that when ever he talk about the bible or God, it is Self-proclaimed mumbo jumbo JW stuff?

Maybe is it God ordained truth! God commands the Man to Love his Wife the way that God Loves his Church. To be willing to die for her, and God says for the woman to submit to here own husband. To compliment him, to make him look good. To make him better, stronger, smarter.

If you have never tried loving your mate the way God says
then you could never understand or know what he's talking about. If you refuse to submit to your own Husband you will never know what God is talking about.

So in other words, you are just giving us your self proclaimed mumbo jumbo stuff!
How you gonna get my back when you fronting.

Big Freaking Deal so Prince wants a wife like Larry has who just Adores him and all and he's all that so why not just say so? Stop with the Confusion. It's all good. It's all good. Prince is just an Old Fashioned Guy. Case closed. Nothing wrong with that.

Sounds like he's just a Normal Cool Guy. Too bad his fans are much more Wild and Freaky so he is Scared of us. No harm intended ever.
