Oh, it's just not possible that Paul was writing to a specific audience at a specific time for a specific situation and never had any intention of making his comment an edict which had to be followed absolutely, throughout the remainder of time, is it?
Lilly of the Valley said:That's not how God set up marriage. Do you believe what scripture has said...because it's quite blatant about it.
Gen 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
Lilly of the Valley said:It has nothing to do w/ being better than, but that's how God set it up. That doesn't mean the woman has no leadership...but the man is the head of the household. I have no issue w/ that becasue I understand what God means by that.

UberLutheran said:God didn't put it in the Bible. People did.
There are a LOT of things where I wonder why they ended up in the Bible; and a lot of things which weren't included as the canon of the New Testament developed which I really wonder why they were excluded.
Lilly of the Valley said:Did I say they were...perhaps you should reexamine my statements and scripture. Neither say they are God.
Lilly of the Valley said:The problem is you veiw submission as that of a slave and that's not what God means by it. It is equal. The husband loves the wife as himself and the wife sumbits in a good way out of love, not like giving in to every whim he has. And by you saying we shouldn't you then say scripture and God is wrong then:
Eph 5:21 Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Eph 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;

MezzaMorta said:Then why did God put it in the bible?
MezzaMorta said:The bible may have been written by man, but what made it into the bible was the work of divine intervention.
Jerusha_Girl said:So the priests who decided what to edit into the Bible and leave out were acting on Divine intervention? So why are there dozens upon dozens of different versions of the Bible, some of which is contradictory?
MezzaMorta said:How ever, who ever and when ever the bible was compiled was done so by divine intervention. Other wise the entire basis of Christianity is null. The bible is the word of God. Thus God must have had control over what was put in the bible.
And what are these contrary bibles? The Bible (Old and New Testement) is one. There are different translations of it, but the original and what it consists of is constant.

A newlywed couple are on their honeymoon. On the first night the husband removed his pants and tosses them to his wife and says, "okay, honey, put these on." She pulls them up under her skirt, lets them go and they are so large on her they fall to the floor. She says, "I can't wear these pants". He says, "darn right and you remember that whenever you want to question who wears the pants in the house." Angry, the wife grabs a pair of her pants from her suitcase, tosses them at her husband and giggles. "Okay, well, just for fun try mine on." The husband laughs and go to pull them on and they won't go up past his knees. He pulls them off and says, "babe, I can't get into these pants." She says, "darn right and you won't ever get into those pants if you ever say something like you said a minute ago ever again."
