I hear many on here say Paul's command was due to culture. In context, that is utter nonsense. Paul plainly stated the man was created first and the woman was deceived first. Those two facts will never change nor be altered by culture. Just as the pain of childbirth is on woman forever, so is the Biblical command she be subject to man.
If we are going through the Bible with our families, then yes, it should have come up that the wife is to submit to the husband and they are underneath the leadership of men in the church as well. Absolutely.
Yes. She fully agrees with Scripture that she is subject to her husband as I am subject to Christ.
Why would she disagree with Ephesians 5?
Why would I be scared to read Ephesians 5 to her?
You scared to tell your wife or you don't believe Eph 5?
fear my wife…. No I respect and admire her. Her not being a slave to me or any other male, well you will have to take it up with her but it doesn’t sit well with her.
must have something to do with must submit that she objects to. We are partners not subservient to one another. And I’ve never demanded that she submit to me. Perhaps that’s why we have been happily married for 35 years.
Now my brother and his ex-wife are a whole different story. He demanded she submit to him and she handed him divorce papers. That submission thing costs dearly.
So do you demand that your wife submit to you and how’s that working out?
I hear this argument from liberals (or those who have liberal tendencies) frequently. Liberals hate Paul's epistles, and many of the hardcore liberals will even deny that his writings are scripture. If this claim is true then I guess none of the bible applies to us, only to those of whom it was written to at the time.
1 Corinthians 13:4–8a (ESV) Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth.
Yes, you are - liberalism starts small like with what you are doing. It slowly whittles away biblical doctrine and ends up with those who hold to it mocking the word of God.
Passages about homosexuality also "don't sit well" with certain demographics, and they choose to ignore those as well. Disregarding God's word for your own feelings or doctrine IS liberalism.
