It is not a submission clause. It is God's law.Professor Tiger wrote:IB, I didn't answer your question because it is as pointless as having a conversation with a pareot who has been trained to say, "WOMEN SHOULDN"T VOTE! WOMEN SHOULDN"T VOTE! THREAT POINT! THREAT POINT!"
But we must have mercy even on trained parrots. So, pointless as it is, and too keep you from further embarrassing yourself and other Christians, I'll answer it.
The Bible says, wives obey your husbands. But it also says, husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the Church (i.e., with total self-sacrifice). It is a two-way covenant. Most of the pseudo Christian counselors out there who obsess on the first part completely downplay the second part. You literally said a wife should do "whatever her husband says." Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely. You and your fellow loons want to give a total blank check to husbands who can be very sinful and use it for their own sinful pleasure, all justified under the all-important wifely submission clause.

1st Peter Chapter 3, verses 1 through 22 basically stipulates that the wife must do whatever he says. SUBMIT. That is what God wants. Your example is just feminist hooey.
She is his property. He OWNS her, he owns her the minute her father gives her away in the marriage ceremony (father is giving his property over to his now son-in-law.) Her husband is her master. She is her slave. That is a Biblical marriage. Because...
God provides THE LAW => Christ comes to fulfill it and save us sinners => Man OBEYS God's law => Wife OBEYS husband => Children honor their parents
That is the hierarchy.
No they do NOT. If they refuse to submit they are not doing as God has commanded of them. And YOU are doing a terrible thing because your logic says that God is wrong, His rules for women are wrong. Shame on you.Professor Tiger wrote:Most Christian wives won't mind submitting to a husband who attempts to practice the whole biblical equation. But Christian wives have every reason to refuse to submit to only one half of the equation (the wifely submission half) as is commonly peddled by theological and pseudo counseling quacks.
The sadness is created by feminism. It is feminism that has given us the horror that is threatpoint (a link up above that you still have not clicked on.) You are trying to reconcile feminism with the Bible. You can't. It is impossible. God's Law and feminism are at a complete and total impasse.Professor Tiger wrote:That snake oil of biblical half-truth that you peddle causes incalculable sorrow and sadness in Christian homes that partake of it.
