ch 11

submission is a matter of attitude, whereas obedience refers to conduct
Acts 4.19 submissive spirit, but disobeyed
William Seymour
obedience relative; submission absolute
God alone unqualified obedience
Dad and freemasonry
Midwives Daniel

chs 6-10

Numbers 30 overuled vows
heart subjection
command vs will
head relates to body
all member equal close to head
To obey is natural: handmust obey authoriy of head expresed thru eye
Disclosing faults

Korah recogniserd God's presence but not delegated authority inMoses
Slander begins with reason
Moses: cushite woman
Ham: dad drunk
Korah: god is with all of yus
 The way to know God is thru obedience, NOT reason

rebellious words?
reasonings before God?
Independant opinions?

Chapter 5

Authority is not grasped
Let God defend you
To be obedient, the son had to empty himself

Discipleship: teaching them to obey

Christ's reward was for obedience
Obedience is only learned thru suffering
But not inevitably learned by suffering

Chapter 4

David Saul Amalekite
Weakness not a problem, bcos strength will flow to your weakness
Rebellion is a major problem

Chapter 3

Noah: uncovered
Rebellious delights in error in authority cos excuse to throw off restraint
Noah's failure became a test
Nadab and Abihu independent
Serving God Strange Fire seem alike
True service begins with God
Moses should not have married a Hamite
Miriam and Aaron was right to rebuke on basis of family, but wrong on the basis of Moses' position
West Wing: call me president, it reminds me who I am
When learn to honour Father role, also gain friendship role
Warren's boots on the tabkle analogy

Fiduciary
reasonable to complain no milk etc,
But the faithful follow authority, not reason
Spiritual path above reason (Following cloud and Moses)
Authority is not a matter of outward instruction, but inward revelation
Rebellion contagious when don't recognise authority is from God ("you killed dathan Moses")

Chapter Two

Apple...authority
Everything else under Adam
Only the one under authority can be an authority
Adam authority: eve under subjection
First one saved is in authority
Second one looks to find authority
Eg Paul wehen saved
Eve disobeyed Adam: same as disobeying God
Self will
obedience vs right and wrong

Chapter One

Romans 13.1
Satan doe snot fear our preaching, he fears our yieldedness to authority
Satan's sin is rebellion against authority
Annanias a little brother, but submitted too by Paul based on His revelation of God's authority
God's authority is primary revelation, not man's leading to God's.
Greatest demand is not cross, but obedience
Gerthsemane: obedience more important thsan the cross
Paul and JEsus' submission to high priest
Sin is conduct
Lawlessness is heart
Authority in the world is increasingly undermoned til the man of lawlessness
