since the bible does not lie and if you believe the Father , the Son and the Holy Spirit is one and the same, or co Equal. explain this simple but true bible verse...
1 Corinthians 11:3... the head of the woman is man, i take this to mean:( head of household or being in subjection to.)
.
the head of man is Christ, i take this to mean : (man is obliged to follow the directions & pattern provided by his head, Christ.

the head of Christ is God. (wouldnt this be self explanitory) meaning every one has a head ,
the family, at the Job, in sports, in court, in the govt.
also in Theocratic order(Gods arrangement of things) so therefore the Son has a head which to me shows that if the Father and the Son was the same One; Jesus would have no head, invalidating this scripture. how would you explain it?

Context is everything.

This is written +/- 30 years after Jesus the Christ was resurrected.

So context is not about when Christ was on earth, but was the current relationship between God and the Christ.

Jesus is the Christ, The Christ is Jesus, they are one and the same.

1 Cor 11:4-10, shows that while on earth in the Christian Congregation,

Man is 'Head' of Woman, The context is not talking the about furture relationship of man and woman, because when they get to heaven they will no longer be a man or a woman, but a spirit creature.

Even then they will not be the same person, only united in purpose.

2nd, it shows the relationship Jesus has to man. While on earth and even when man gets to heaven, they will not be equal in power, nor will they be the same person.

3rd The Christ or Jesus, is not equal to his God and Father.
They are united in purpose but not equal.

The context shows the relationship, Man, Woman, Christ, and God may be united in purpose,

But they are not the same person or being.

Everyone from Jesus down to woman, and children are in subjection to God.

2 Cor 4:4 says that if you believe the glory of Christ is greater than an image, Then you are being blinded by Satan.

Note it says "christ" not "Jesus". It doesn't say the head of Jesus is God, it says the head of christ is God.

Christ is not Jesus, the person, Himself alone. Christ is the whole package: the church whose head is God, and also whose head is Jesus who is God.

It's a little hard to explain but Christ is the whole embodiment of Jesus. That includes the followers who are the church. This is why Jesus is called the head while the church is called the Body. The body of Christ. Get it? :)

St. Paul gives us the answer in Philippians 2:6-8. Christ, the Incarnate One - Jesus of Nazareth, emptied Himself...and became obedient - even to the death on the Cross.

Do not confuse the person, Jesus Christ, who is both fully man and fully God ("The Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us"), with the eternal "God the Son" - co-eternal with the Father.

Christ did not empty Himself of Divinity: The simple rendering in Philippians where it states that Jesus "made Himself of no reputation" or "He made no account of Himself", when coupled with the following modal participle, easily solves the problem. "He made Himself of no reputation by taking [labwn, "having taken"] the form of a servant. In other words, He did not "empty"; He "took on" the form of a man -- i.e., was fully God and fully man -- God manifest in the flesh.

Jesus became man, and became obedient, so that we may partake of the Godhead.

The head of woman is god, the head of man is god, the head of christ is god, does that answer it?

WHAT??? Its confusing but here goes nothing: well it is the Holy Trinity and they are supposed to be ONE, so there is no higher or lower between the Three therefore anyone's "head" is everyone's "Head"
