    This thread is really kinda funny. All the women who have posted here are gladly submitting to their husbands just as the Bible commands and it's the men saying we shouldn't be so submissive. :laugh:

    If you take time to observe these type of men in real life, they're usually the ones who really struggle with making decisions and are generally not the type to win any leadership awards.

    Jim, after I posted the verses from I Peter, you asked what those verses meant to the people they were spoken to and in what cultural context.

    The words were spoken to me, and in my home, I live in a Christian culture.

    While we do have to look at time, context, and culture, it is not applicable in this case. The example is given through scripture. The people being spoken to in I Peter could just as well have turned around and asked "...but what culture did Sara live in and what did obedience mean in that time?" When we have a concept handed down to mankind personally by God and he never changes that, who are we to question it?

    Basic hermeneutics, Gina, basic. If you don't know the people spoken to, the cultural setting and how they understood what was said, there is no way you can either understand it or apply it correctly.

    Cheers,

    Jim

    Gina, it looks like you have the basics down pat. It is easy to do when we as Christians do not try to massage the scripture to say what we would rather it said.

    Here are some other versions that might help:

    KJV: While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear.

    NASB: as they observe your chaste and respectful behavior.

    Amplified When they observe the pure and modest way in which you conduct yourselves, together with your [a] reverence [for your husband; you are to feel for him all that reverence includes: to respect, defer to, revere him--to honor, esteem, appreciate, prize, and, in the human sense, to adore him, that is, to admire, praise, be devoted to, deeply love, and enjoy your husband].

    ESV: when they see your respectful and pure conduct.

    Does that help? When the Bible speaks of fear, it's not always the fear that we think of - like being afraid. Instead it's a respect and knowing the honor that is to be given.
