I guess I don't see the trickiness of this issue....its not a word that uplifts and shouldn't be used at all. I find it very offensive and was a little hurt to see it used here because I just think we need to be pure in our speech.

I'd also like to add that the husband's responsibility is much greater and weightier...he is to DIE for the wife like Christ treated the church. He has no easy role here at all. If you just focus on the word "submission" it may seem that way, but the husband's burden --if he is truly obeying...

I love you! MWAH (that was a big kiss on the forehead). I know how you feel all too well. Cling to God, and have faith He will send friends who are real and supportive. BUT (always a but, huh, lol) often He will not send this until we understand we dónt' NEED these people, and that HE...

Don't be discouraged by "disputable matters" within the body of christ. This was something common even in Paul's day, and he said in romans 14 and 15 that such issues don't have to divide the body. As long as we agree that Jesus is Lord, we are bros and sisters. The rest are not issues unto...

Pink, I totally understand what you mean. I have always felt that way...at least since becoming a Christian. You may not need to give up on the idea at all, but you may be hearing from the Holy Spirit telling you to focus on God. All things that are a blessing can be a distraction if given...

Thank you all so much! I can't pm people until I make more posts, but in case you read back, you are so kind and encouraging.

Hello all, I am new to the forum, and have an issue that has weighed heavily on my heart for quite some time, so much so that I have found great joy in the prospect of sharing this with a family of beleivers for support, insight, and Godly rebuke (if truly and prayerfully received). Before I...
