And that's not something that troubles me. It's not a salvation issue.Free will doesnt mean we have reign to do whatever we want without consequences either. A woman can choose to be unsubmissive to her husband, but she'll be held accountable to God for her actions just as an unloving hubsand will be held accountable to God.
I don't submit to my boss in the way you submit to your husband. It's entirely different.If your boss tells you do to something, I doubt you'll refuse him. You are expected to submit and you know that's your role (we've already dealt with the whole sin thing already, noneed to rehash it) so you do it. But yet women constantly argue the idea that they should submit to the husbands they actually chose to marry!
I don't who "everyone" is, but I'm fine with the way I'm carrying out my Christian life, and I'm glad when people don't feel the need to check how my standing is with Him just because I don't build my lifestyle around one scripture.Why is everyone always concerned what is and isnt a salvational issue? I mean once we're saved haven't we graduated to a better question: "Does this please the Lord and am I carrying out His instructions?"
I'm not going to make a change that my husband has already told me he doesn't like.Submission is an attitude of the heart first and foremost. It doesn't require a long conversation with a spouse. I wouldnt expect my husband to say "Hey, im gonna start being loving". I'd rather him just show it. Same goes for women, just make the change and see how God blesses the marriage even further.
Right. And how many scriptures are there in the Bible? And do all of us conform to every single one of them? I have my serious doubts that we do. Unless/until you do, you have no right to lecture anyone else that they are not keeping to God's standards.See the thing is, for families, for nations, for morality - God does have a standard. It's not every man for himself and to each his own. Scriptures even warn against that attitude multiple times when you see the mention of "And they did what was right in their own eyes" verses "They did right in the sight of the Lord".
That's fine with me. A forum is not the place to be preaching anyawy.Then no one should ever be preaching about anything if that's the case, right? It's fallible logic to say that if someoen doesnt undersatnd every single scripture, then tey shouldnt teach on anytihng. Really?
