They all have the anointing of the Holy Spirit already when Peter said some of Paul's writings/teachings are not making any sense.
For what reason the Holy Spirit would not reveal Paul's writings with clarity to Peter?
It wasn’t Peter or his audience to whom Paul’s writings are unclear.
“As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction. Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own stedfastness.”
—2 Peter 3:16-17
Peter is referring to the ‘unlearned and unstable’, or the wicked, who ‘wrest’ (distort) the scriptures. Which as we see from the sorry, sorry state of the modern ‘church’ (so-called), leads to their destruction. In the following verse Peter tells his audience to beware of such people (the wicked) so that they are not misled. He encourages his audience to remain in their steadfastness (firmly set in sound doctrine). So clearly, Peter and his audience aren’t the ones who are confused by Paul’s teachings.
As for what the religious system preaches in regards to marital relations, their divorce rate mirrors that of the world. So there’s that. They’ve strayed from biblical doctrine for many centuries, dating all the way back to the unbiblically titled ‘church fathers’ (so-called). Even before then actually..John, Peter, Paul and the Lord Jesus Christ all warned of false teachers both during their times and the future. Nothing new under the Big Top of Clown World.
It should be noted that a majority of the modern building-based religious system is women. Up to 70% female or even more in some assemblies. I hear it said often ‘where’s all the men, they hardly go to church anymore’. So, modern pastors, the majority of which are corrupt, compromised, feminized, 501c3 owned (or the equivalent in other nations) and willing to cave to the modern paganized culture, are going to avoid touchy matters which may offend the majority of their audience such as submission to husbands. Today, feminism (societal AIDS) is in vogue, and the majority of women within the weekend religious system (and men to be fair) are worldly, carnally minded, unregenerate..the majority of them believe in a false ‘christ’ which they believe they can take the liberty of shaping and molding to their liking, a customized ‘jesus’ who is willing to conform to the modern paganized culture. A ‘savior’ who not only ‘eats with sinners’ but co-signs to their sins and even sins with them.
Many modern pastors are not much different than politicians, they tell their target audience what they believe they want to hear. And the majority of the target audience in weekend building-based religion is women, most of whom subscribe to the castration of western society known as feminism, an ideology which teaches them resentment of men, so the feminized and compromised modern pastors will cater to them and avoid Paul (and Peter’s) teachings on marriage. If not, the tithes, offerings, and demand for their services/job opportunities will dwindle. The ‘christian’ youtubers won’t sell as many Jesus coffee mugs and yoga pants. The multi-billion dollar religious industry would collapse.
Modern weekend religion is based upon a highly successful business model, and CONTROL, not biblical doctrine. There’s about 40,000 different religions within the system and still counting, designed to suit everyone’s unique taste. You’ll have some religious assemblies that preach keeping the women barefoot, pregnant, and chained to a the stove, and you’ll have some assemblies with misandrist lesbian atheist Lutheran pastors. And everything in between. All depends on the perceived desires of the target audience. But most assemblies within the modern religious system lean on the side of the feminist narrative, that biblical marriage roles are ‘oppression’ for women. Surprise, surprise, their divorce rate mirrors the world. And many of the men within this system have been emasculated..taught to be soft, quiet, weak, timid, submissive..while the women are encouraged to be independent, strong, empowered. No wonder why there are so many single and lonely Christians now. The weekend religious system has encouraged men and women to swap roles just like the pagan culture teaches.
There is no such thing as 50/50 in regards to submission. Someone is going to be taking the lead. And any man who allows that to be the woman, things are not going to end well for him I guarantee. In a marriage where both people are John 3:3 reborn believers this sort of thing won’t even be an issue, the man and woman won’t have any discrepancies with their biblical roles and will be on the same page. Their marriage will be based on what the Bible teaches, not the world’s SJW agendas.
It is when modern trends of the pagan culture (feminism in this case) are thrown into the mix that problems arise, divorce rates escalate. Singleness and loneliness increases. Unrealistic expectations also increase. People these days both pagans and churchgoers alike are all brainwashed into believing they are all special snowflakes, and out there is another special snowflake, almost as special as them in fact, which God made just for them; a ‘soulmate’. Which is totally unbiblical nonsense because husband and wife are made ‘one flesh’ (Mark 10:8) not one soul like the pagan new agers teach. Besides, if this pagan ideology were true then God wouldn’t allow for remarriage. It’s about commitment, just like we are to commit to Christ.
A husband who does not lead will soon be treated like a gay roommate by his wife. I guarantee it.
Edit: I just saw what the other poster, Bella said in her post about that passage from Peter..she is 100% right about what that verse means, it is only the wicked Peter was referring to. I included that verse in my post because I didn’t see her mention of it when writing mine.
Also, the law of Moses was under the Old Covenant..Paul and Peter’s teachings are under the New Covenant.
