The Thread of the Head

We can see the thread running through the scriptures.

David said that the LORD is HEAD above ALL:

1 Chron 29:10-11 Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed be thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.
11 Thine, O LORD, is the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all that is in the heaven and in the earth is thine; thine is the kingdom, O LORD,
and thou art exalted as head above all.

The psalmist wrote that the LORD is HEAD of the CORNER:

Psa 118:22 The stone which the builders refused is become the head stone of the corner.

Matthew, Mark, and Luke - all 3 - record Jesus quoting that verse in Psalms:

Matt 21:42 Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures,
The stone which the builders rejected,
the same [houtos] is become [ginomai] [eis] the head of the corner:
this [houtos] is [para] the Lord's doing,
and it is marvellous in our eyes?

Mark 12:10-11 And have ye not read this scripture;
The stone which the builders rejected is [houtos] [ginomai] become [eis] the head of the corner:
11 This [houtos] was [ginomai] the Lord's doing,
and it is marvellous in our eyes?

Luke 20:17 And he beheld them, and said, What is this then that is written,
The stone which the builders rejected,
the same [houtos] is become [ginomai] the head of the corner?

Peter referred to the same place in the Psalms, PERSONIFIED and NAMED that CHRIST is the HEAD:

Acts 4:10-12 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.
11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders,
which is become [ginomai] the head of the corner.
12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

Paul wrote that CHRIST is the HEAD of ALL men:

1 Cor 11:3 But I would have you know, that
the head of every [pas] man is Christ;
and the head of the woman is the man;
and the head of Christ is God.

Paul wrote that CHRIST (from Eph 1:20) is HEAD over ALL:

Eph 1:22 And hath put all [pas] things under his feet,
and gave him to be the head over all [pas] things to the church,

Eph 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him
in all things [pas], which is the head, even Christ:

Paul wrote that CHRIST is HEAD of the CHURCH:

Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife,
even as Christ is the head of the church:
and he is the saviour of the body.

Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church:
who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead;
that in all [pas] things he might have the preeminence.

Paul wrote that CHRIST is HEAD of ALL principality and power:

Col 2:10 And ye are complete in him,
which is the head of all [pas] principality and power:

Paul was not the only one who taught that CHRIST was the HEAD.
Pull the thread and see what happens.
Notice if a doctrine unravels or weaves all through the scriptures.

This is David Dowell, saying, "Think about it!"
