The Independent Clause
An independent clause is a clause or sentence phrase that stands alone. We use it in sentence diagrams. Its antithesis is a dependent clause. An example of an independent clause is, “A cat eats a rat.”
A dependent clause is a clause or a sentence phrase that never stands alone. In sentence diagrams, we grammatically call a dependent clause a fragment. An example of a dependent clause is “Because the rats are pests”. The sentence structure sounds like a fragment (even if you were typing on a word-processor application on a computer, it would show a green or blue underline, which requires a grammar check).
Independent and dependent clauses, beyond their grammatical function, symbolize living beings and objects in pairs. A pair, in this context, is two dependent clauses merged into an independent clause. This symbolic representation extends to shoes, socks, animals, and living beings, all of which are pairs.
1 Corinthians 11:11 states that: “in the innermost, however, a woman is not independent of a man, nor is a man independent of a woman”. I state: “By divine will, a man is dependent on a woman, and a woman is dependent on a man.” Thereby, a man and a woman are a pair of beings.
A male and a female are also a pair, each needing the other in a mutual and respectful relationship. A male needs a female, and a female needs a male. Elohim made a man and a woman for each other. Every man has a female aspect; likewise, every woman has a male aspect, emphasizing the mutual respect and understanding in their relationship.
Lo and behold: A man is never a man without a woman. Likewise, a woman is never a woman without a man.
A man, or male, is a dependent clause. Similarly, a woman, or female, is also a dependent clause. However, when these two dependent clauses unite as male (man) and female (woman), they create an independent clause. This independent clause symbolizes the will to return to the kingdom of his innermost, a metaphorical interpretation of unity and gender.
