Jesus Is Man.
Just as Stephen, Peter and John (Acts 4:13; 6:13 cf. Acts 10:26) are referred to as men, Jesus is referred to as a _____________ (ἄνθρωπος) by Peter (Mark 14:71), by the centurion (Mark 15:39), by Pilate (Luke 23:4,14; John 18:29; 19:5), by the officers (John 7:46; cf. John 7:51), by some of the Pharisees (John 9:16, 24), by the Jews (John 10:33), by the chief priests and the Pharisees (John 11:47; cf. 11:50), by the servant girl (John 18:17), by the chief priest (Acts 5:28), and by Paul (1 Timothy 2:5).
Jesus had a ______________ (1 Peter 2:24; Luke 23:52) with bones (John 19:36), hands (John 20:25), fingers (Mark 7:33), feet (Matthew 28:9; Mark 5:22), a side (John 19:34), a face (Mark 14:65; Matthew 26:27), eyes (John 17:1) and a head (Matthew 27:29), as well as clothing (Mark 5:27).

My recognition of the meaning of the statements about "Hail Zeus" - the exact seed who broke the egg - is far beyond my understanding years ago. Mere exegesis here.
Three Principles
In the Cross of Christ
Jonathan Cooper
An Introduction
Principle 1: Jesus offered an opportunity for Jerusalem to come to Him. “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, which killest the prophets, and stonest them that are sent unto thee; how often would I have gathered thy children together, as a hen doth gather her brood under her wings, and ye would not!” (Luke 13:34) Page 3.
Principle 2: Jerusalem decided not to come to Jesus, and Jerusalem’s rejection of Jesus was the cause of their destruction. “Behold, your house is left unto you desolate: and verily I say unto you, Ye shall not see me, until the time come when ye shall say, Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.” (Luke 13:35). Page 5.
Principle 3: Motivated by love, God crucified Jesus by having others crucify Him. Jesus is God (John 20:28), and God crucified Jesus: “Yet it pleased the LORD to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou s...

Outside of Paul, νόμος is used - almost always - to refer to sacred writings in the Old Testament.
Matthew always uses νόμος to refer to sacred writings in the Old Testament.
In Matthew 5:17-18 (English | Greek | Cf. 7:12; 11:13), “law” is not only used in synonymous parallel with “Law or the Prophets,” but also the “not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law” indicates that “the Law” refers to the Old Testament, which was translated into Greek (the alphabet of which includes the letter “iota”). The “law” that is “read” includes Numbers 28:9-10 and 1 Chronicles 9:23 - according to Matthew 12:5 (English | Greek). In Matthew 23:23 (English | Greek), the “law” is said to include matters weightier than tithing, a command from Deuteronomy 14:22.
John always uses νόμος to refer to sacred writings in the Old Testament.
Actually, most of the occurrences of νόμος are used in connection with Old Testament quotations. John 10:34 (English | Greek) quotes Psalm 82:6 “written in your law...
"Pattern." So, when Jesus broke the egg, He broke the pattern of sin and death, the nomos of going down the drain - He nailed that to the tree. We don't have to go down the drain. We can choose life, choose the pattern of obedience and blessing, which is described in the Old Testament - that nomos.

Ephesians 4:28
“...let him labor, doing honest work with his own hands...”
The word “labor” here (κοπιάτω) refers specifically to tiring, physical labor. For example, disciples as fishermen “labored all night,” trying to catch fish (in Luke 5:5). When Jesus had finished a wearying trip, the phrase “being wearied” is a translation of this word “labor” (in John 4:6). In other words, put your whole self into it - regardless of your job (Colossians 3:23), regardless of your boss (1 Peter 2:18) - as unto the Lord.
Bonus: If a brother in Christ does not work, do not have anything to do with him - do not even give him food (2 Thessalonians 3:6-12; cf. Acts 18:3) - “that he may be ashamed.” (2 Thess 3:14). For a similar command, see 1 Corinthians 5:9-13.
Bonus: Excessive sleep (Prov 6:6-11; 20:13; 24:30-34; 22:14-15), excuses (Prov 22:13; 26:13), and chatter (Prov 20:13) get in the way of obedient productivity.
Question: In your labor (in school, the workplace, or ministry), what is...
Give more than you take at work so that it is too their advantage to give you more than you need so that you can give more than you take outside of work to those in need. Cycle of generosity. That's how we swim upstream. I do not choose survival by only loving myself. That's not of human; so, will not that one have no place in the inheritance, since he was just an obstacle, just a waste products to expell down the drain?
Do eat _____________. Food is a necessity which God provides (Matthew 5). God encourages us to pray for food (Matthew 6:11), and God has ordained work as the means for the provision of food to eat (2 Thessalonians 3:10-12). Although Jesus did fast at one forty day period in His life (Matthew 4:2), Jesus regularly ate and drank before His resurrection (Matthew 11:19) and ate after His resurrection (Luke 24:41-42).
What to eat:
Our diet is defined by ______________. No animal that God created should be viewed as unclean in and of itself (Acts 11:9; Romans 14:14), and eating a certain food cannot make us unclean (Matthew 15:19; Mark 7:21). However, do not eat anything that will violate your conscience or will cause a brother to stumble (1 Corinthians 10:28-29). With this in mind, we do well to stay away from animals that are dedicated to idols, uncooked, or strangled (Acts 15:24). On the other hand, eat whatever is set before you (Luke 10:8; 1 Corinthians 10:27). By seeking others’ et...

Eat and Drink
Sunday Night Bible Study on March 28, ‘10 at Christian Missionary Alliance in Aurora, Indiana.
Big Idea: Eat and drink for the Lord… (Zechariah 7:5-7; 1 Corinthians 10:31).
…with joyful thanksgiving (Romans 14:6; 1 Corinthians 10:30; Matthew 15:36; Mark 8:6; John 6:11; John 6:23 and Acts 27:35. C.f. with command to enjoy food in Ecclesiastes 9:7; 2:24; 3:13; 5:18; 8:15 and with thanksgiving in the Lord's Supper in Matthew 26:27, Mark 14:23, Luke 22:17, 19; I Corinthians 11:24), but without gluttony (Proverbs 23:21). Examples of Feasts:
As celebrations for the Lord:
The tithe (Deuteronomy 14:22-29) and the wall (Nehemiah 8:9-12).
As celebrations: Escape from Haman (Esther 8:17; 9:22).
For the Lord: Escape from Pharaoh (Exodus 10:9).
As mere meals:
Without righteousness (Amos 5:21-27).
With insatiable craving (Numbers 11:4-6,31-35)
In eternity (Revelation 19:9; c.f. Matthew 26:29; Luke 22:30)

Central Thought
The exclusive, sexual union of a man and his wife should mirror the exclusive, spiritual union of God the Son and His church, according to Ephesians 5:25-33.
Outline
There Is a ______________.
Jesus and the church are one body spiritually (1 Corinthians 6:17; Ephesians 5:30-32; 1 Corinthians 12:27; Ephesians 4:12), having made a covenant with His blood (Jeremiah 31:31; Luke 22:20; 1 Corinthians 11:25; 2 Corinthians 3:6; Hebrews 8:8-13; Revelation 13:8). A husband and his wife are one body sexually (Genesis 2:24, Matthew 19:5-6, Mark 10:8; 1 Corinthians 7:3-5; Song 2:16; 6:3; 7:10), having made a life-long (Romans 7:1-3) covenant (Malachi 2:14-15; c.f. Proverbs 2:17). For more on God’s relationship with His people in the Old Testament, see Ezekiel 16 and the book of Hosea.
Side Note: What about divorce?
Because of the nation’s sins, God divorced Israel (Isaiah 50:1). Divorce and remarriage is not adultery if the spouse broke the covenant with sexual unfaithfulness...

Principle: Male leaders should shepherd a church’s souls in view of eternity.
Scripture endorses the presence of elders.
The presence of elders is urged (Titus 1:5).
The presence of elders is established (Acts 14:23).
The presence of elders is evident (Acts 11:30; 15:2,4,6,22-23; 16:4; 20:13-17; 21:18; I Timothy 4:14).
The presence of elders is assumed (I Timothy 5:17; I Peter 1:1; 5:1; James 1:1; 5:14).
Elders are men, not women.
Male elders were evident in Ephesus (Acts 20:29-30).
Male elders seem to be have been assumed by Paul (Titus 1:6; 1 Timothy 3:1).
Female elders were not allowed by Paul (1 Timothy 2:12-14; 1 Corinthians 14:33-40)
Side Note: Although these men might have different gifts - and, perhaps, different degrees of honor (I Timothy 5:17-20; c.f. Acts 13:1), all elders should share certain proven characteristics (1 Timothy 3:1-7; Titus 1:5-9), and no elder should seek to be first in all things (c.f. 3 John 1:9-10). In the church in Jerusalem, John (2 John 1:1; 3 John...
In other words, the structure of church leadership is male (right handed), but there are female (left handed) drivers of this vehicle.

A lot of benefit to China from bride prices, I suspect.. Motivates economically toward constant improvement.

Now, if reproduction happened from robots and algorithms, all of this might vanish entirely, assuming that sexes vanish entirely. That's why hypothetical, of course. Not rashly bsquelchng naturally occurring gender distinctions in the day. Yay for China

EFFECTS of night on day, even if night itself is not on mind. Men older in marriage relationships (since develop sexually later); since children are expensive, men are encouraged to compensate financially; more life experience, more money --> leadership in the family --> leadership in multi family settings
