Did Christ come to just go to the Cross?

OK, I'm not seeing where it even remotely suggests the Father is the head of the church.

What is this statement in your post in parentheses bellow. 

("In Christ we are all gathered into one - one family with God our Father.")  

 "(This is what the Father's many sons brought into glory does!)".

Again, how do you think that says that the Father is the head of the church? (if that is what you are saying)

Now the time has come for you to clarify in your statement the parts that you use the word God.

By saying "God" what are your thoughts for "God" in the context in your statement.

Sorry, I'm just not understanding what you are trying to get at here.  Maybe someone else who is following this can help clarify, as we don't seem to be effective in our communication with this.

These statements are from your postings. I take it that they are your words and you posted after considering and thinking and reasoning, and rethinking if it applies. 

They should represent your thoughts before you put them down in words. 

If they were your words that came from your thoughts or representing your thoughts then you should be able to know your thoughts before you put them down in words.

Did you put the word "God" in the applicable context knowing whom the word "God" represents. 

This is what I am asking you to tell us who the word God is referring to in those two statements.

You disagree!?  Did Christ pray that we would all be one and did He teach us that God is our Father? (I'll see your answer first before posting verses, as maybe there's just a little misunderstanding . . .)

I am thinking this backs up your statement. How do you see it.

1 Corin 15

26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.

27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.

Rom 8

17 And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ; if so be that we suffer with him, that we may be also glorified together.

18 For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

19 For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.

20 For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope,

21 Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.
