Greetings Carla420,
This is just the order that God established regarding men and women. Scripture states that God created women as physically being the weaker vessel. Scripture also states the following:
"I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you. But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God."
It does not mean that man should dominate or tyrannize over woman, but this is just the position or order for each that God set.
That many do not study the word of God or spend time in prayer is indeed a tragedy, for those who do so cannot possible grow in Christ and are most likely living according to the sinful nature. However, this is something that they are going to be held accountable for and should not affect believers who are reading God's word and putting into practice.
The question to each individual is not based on what other proclaimed Christians are doing or not doing. But the question to you and each individual, is what is your answer to God regarding the Lord's sacrifice for you, the shedding of his blood for the payment of your sins?
We are saved by grace (unmerited favor) through faith and this not of our own doing, not by works so that no one can take credit for salvation. It is through believing in Christ as the One who provided salvation for you, completely and fully, that you are saved.
There will be a gathering of the church, both dead and living, where at which time there will be a judgment at the Bema seat of Christ, not for sin, but to receive rewards for each individuals good works in Christ or loss of reward for works not making through the fire. This is the judgment for the those in Christ. There will also be another judgment which will take place at the end of the millennial reign of Christ of all of the unrighteous dead throughout all of history known as the great white throne judgment. Here everyone will be resurrected out of Sheol/Hades and will stand before God where each individual will give an account of every idle word they ever spoke. If their names are not found in the book of life they will thrown into the lake of fire.
Jesus came to save us from God's coming wrath and from the condemning judgment at the great white throne. His promise is the forgiveness of all sin and eternal life for believing in him as the One who paid the penalty for your sins and believing that God raised him from the dead, where he now sits at the Father's right hand making intercession for every believer.
So the question to you and everyone is, what is your answer to God regarding the shed blood of His Son in payment for your sins?
The woman was created for the man? And the man dominates the woman? What?
"I praise you for remembering me in everything and for holding to the traditions just as I passed them on to you. But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God."
It does not mean that man should dominate or tyrannize over woman, but this is just the position or order for each that God set.
I also wonder why so many Christians never read the bible. How can you believe in something when you haven't even read your holy book?
