A WIFE MUST SUBMIT TO HER HUSBAND AS THE CHURCH IS SUBMITTED TO THE LORD.

[Born4Jesus]

EPHESIANS 5:22-24 (GOD’S WORD Translation)

22 Wives, place yourselves under your husbands’ authority as you have placed yourselves under the Lord’s authority.
23 The husband is the head of his wife as Christ is the head of the church. It is his body, and he is its Savior.
24 As the church is under Christ’s authority, so wives are under their husbands’ authority in everything.

We are Christians and then we need to submit to the Word of God . Otherwise we do not belong to Jesus Christ.
As some preachers say, God knows that it is difficult for a woman to be submitted and so He gave such a commandment.

The Bible talks to Christians so we all know what we must do in order to get married.

No Christian man has to require submission from another Christian woman before they get married because they are both God's chrildren and tey knwo what He wants for them.

1 CORINTHIANS 11:8-9 (GOD’S WORD Translation)
8 Clearly, man wasn’t made from woman but woman from man.
9 Man wasn’t created for woman but woman for man.

No Christian wife can rebel to her husband because God rebellion means disobeys God.

As with all topics regarding morality and behavior as dictated by God's word and morality and behavior dictated by our worldly thinking as it is today.

A sort of "God said it, I believe it (when it suits me) and that settles it" sort of thing.

So .....

.... if her husband tells her to steal money from her elderly mother and give it to him so he can buy drugs, she has to do it or else she is in disobedience to God?

I don't have a problem with scripture.  I have a HUGE problem with how people interpret it.  I have heard things about wives come out of the mouths of Christians that would make you sick.

What exactly do you mean by your last statement?

I would imagine that household, that marriage, is already fully in disobedience to God to start with, The Godly responsibility for the spiritual state of a household is the duty of the husband, not the wife, and that is no small responsibility.

Forgive me for persisting in people to explain themselves, but what do you mean that the wife has no responsibiity for the spiritual status of her marriage and household?  She gets a free pass?

No, she doesn't get a pass, she is under the authority of the husband who is responsible for setting the standards (which would be Christian standards for Christians, Jewish for Jews, etc).

This is how God intended it and that is why the sin of the world is often referred to as Adams sin passed on to subsequent generations and not Eve's sin.

Men like to blame things on women (which is actually another subject in itself) but in reality they are the ones on whom the responsibility falls.

BTW, there is no need to ask forgiveness for asking someone to explain, it falls on the one doing the communication to make himself clear, something I frequently fail to do adequately.

Under Halakha, Jewish law, a husband has many responsibilities and duties to his wife. My duties, in a nut shell, were to make him happy.

I don't see that as being inconsistent with what I said.

[deva1]

And of course the scripture goes on to say how important it is for husbands to love their wives as Jesus loves the church.......

Important to  include the complete scripture I think 🙂 .
