No, I don't wanna keep the cake and eat it at the same time. My synod is making allowances for the role of man and woman in society because the bible is not clear on it. The bible is clear on spiritual and marital matters. The bible clearly says we should live our faith at all times. Submission to my husband is not equal to submission to all men in the world.
And with that, I'm done discussing this aspect of the conversation. I am simply repeating myself. I have given scriptural examples, from the link that you provided, Cerette, which you apparently seem to have cherry picked from, because there are plenty of scriptures that work in context with the article. You answered your question of "what does this mean" with your own interpretation and then went on to call it what the WELS teaches, when it is not what the WELS teaches.
I don't need you to justify why you left the WELS, and I get the feeling that this all boils down to you needing to justify why you left to me. I frankly don't care. You have your issues with the WELS and they're your issues that I don't share. If I believed that the WELS had it wrong scripturally then I would leave the WELS. Obviously, I don't believe we have it wrong because not only am I still WELS, I'm married to a man who teaches WELS doctrines to everyone else.
