And THIS is where you've been missing the point.

The OP didn't present a scenario that actually supported biblical marriage. This was pointed out to her by a variety of people with a variety of understandings regarding the scripture.

YOU not only agreed with the OP, but you asked if she had a sister...which indicated that your views of "biblical marriage" seemed to align with hers.

People objected to this.

There was much arguing.

Now you claim that you've been attacked for adhering to the idea of a "submissive wife."

Sounds like a lot of illogical thinking to reinforce the lenses you already walk around wearing.
thanks ...you seem to make my point also...any honest person can see the truth. Who is the folks making personal insults?

The point was that the OP is not talking about a Biblical submission. What she described was a DOM/sub relationship...which has some similarities to Biblical marriages but is rather problematic if trying to describe Biblical submission

I think the point of the thread has been proven...if you uphold the biblical idea of a submissive wife...you will be attacked by the PC police :eek:
I hate Political Correctness with a passion. It's so incorrect.

Yes friend, its sad what has been manifest on this thread today...May God have mercy on all of us.
I'm going to remind by Fubario and Mitspa that misrepresenting the views of others (aka lying) violates one of the Ten Commandments.

The objection to the OP had nothing to do with an actual biblically presented view of marriage.

Look at her screenname "SIRSsubmissivewife." Look at how she calls him "master". Look at how she presents the scenario of him deciding for her what she will wear that day. And then, please, EDUCATE YOURSELF.

This has nothing to do with biblical marriage. This has everything to do with BDSM.

It is the two of you who have fallen for a WORLDLY system and are giving it a spiritual overlay. If you want to pretend that BDSM is biblical, tear it up.

However, it is an outright LIE to claim that the people who've posted on these boards are violating scripture re: biblical marriage. The truth is, most of the people who've posted here are SINGLE and aren't in a position to violate scripture regarding marriage. The MOST you can say is that they've interpreted scripture differently than you. However, to smugly pretend that you have it sorted (with your unmarried state) and the rest of us are thrown to God's mercy because we aren't as sorted as you...well...

I'm reminded a bit of a story involving a Pharisee and a tax collector....You know the one. The Pharisee prays, "I thank God I'm not like this tax collector..."

I watched five amazing boys ranging from 4 to 12 years old while their mom needed some much needed time to herself. Well, she was doing some shopping and walked out to her van and her tire was flat and when they put the spare on they found a problem. She is thankful she wasn't running errands with the kids and the tire fell off. Turns out she has been having a problem with the steering and it had been driving funny. She told her husband this issue a few days ago and he refused to do anything and so she continued taking her kids where they needed to be and errands. Was this wrong of her husband not to do anything when it could have risked his wife and his children's safety? What is something the wife could have done when her husband refused to do anything?

She could have taken the car to Discount Tire or some other establishment to have them look at it.

Well they cannot afford to do anything of that nature and so she called up her husband as she should have and he yelled at her and told her to change the tire and come home so he can take a look at it. The tire was so bare that it was right up at the rim. I would be very upset if I had a husband that did what he did because the husband is supposed to be man of the house and take on that responsibility. What I am saying if the husband refused and yelled at the wife what are you supposed to do? Do you go behind your husband's back for not being man enough and taking care of his family?
