Haha your funny taking 2 meaning to back me in to a corner if I am a good husband faithful to my wife etc would she not just want to do her role in the relationship? Ok what about all the bible verses that say the man is the master of his house and part of the cures is death do people will not die and sin entered the world with the cures Jesus just came so we may be forgiven of our sins.

Again we're talking about balance,if you understand that you'll be a good husband.

Everything that happens is a shadow of God his love things to come etc the church is Christ bride and we submit to him no? What does the word submit mean does it not mean to let your will go and follow the will of someone else? And I am not saying a woman is trash you think I am implying that look.at how the Muslim treat there wives and women in general it is sick sad and sinful. P.S I get it we believe differently I determined that after 10 posts trying to say something against what I posted this is no longer about the OP and about us having an illogical argument.

I didn't say you implied the Muslim belief. But I have yet to see you acknowledge we as husbands are to serve our wives. Because if it's just the wives serving us, that is Middle Eastern.

Right, Jesus washed His disciples feet, think about it....

It sounds like she was trying to say that it was through her commitment to the Lord that she submitted to her husband...Im not even sure this is a real person?
I certainly believe that treating her as a person is more Christ-like than assuming she isn't.

Ok no one can argue with th fact that Jesus Christ is he head of his church the head controls the body with out the head the body would not move yes? Ok now I do believe that a woman and a man should work together and for each other just as Christ did for us he washed his disciples feet he gave thousands of people food and healed the sick the hurt and the lame he was a servant but that does not excuse the fact that he is our Lord our master and our saver Amen and amen. So with all that in mind the man is called to be the head of his household as I said the body obeys what the head tells it to do so he is.the head of something it means he is master over something right? Like I.said Jesus is master and he served so you can be both.




And why are you people rebuking the way this woman is treating her husband this is almost unheard of and it sounds like a very good example of how we Christ's bride should treat our master.

true but I know Christ as some 60 40 ect don't know him so in a way am a bit more wise than the man that chose Hell vs God
You are wiser than them, but in ten years you will be even wiser than you are now. (In other words, you'll be wiser at 26 than you are at 16, but every 26-year-old is not wiser than every 16-year-old.)

Don't doubt, your points are quite founded in the Bible, and there is much more that could be made. Nevertheless perhaps it be best to leave this for another topic for sake of our generational sister here, whom wanting no argument hath given a good testimony of having a good marriage.

If by submission you mean to go back to the days when you cooked cleaned and bore his children as well as your other duties as whipping post, scape goat and object to be possessed while you have to lose a little bit of your humanity everyday as you self implode into a ball of inconsequential nothingness.

If that's your idea of submission than I'd say it's slightly taboo and a teensy weensy bit unhealthy of a position to put yourself in.

Maybe in our western culture, the term "master" is almost always preserved for the Lord Himself and it sounds very odd and out of place for another person to use that term in speaking of another person? Its almost like calling them god...and it just don't register with many folks.

Yes I totally agree with you on that.

Amen one of the best examples of how we should love and treat our Lord our saver.

We have stopped calling man master over the years but tell me a president rules over his country so he is in a way master over the country maybe a slacking master but a ruler nun the less.

Being a submissive wife is unpopular in today's society because so many people think it means being controlled. The Word does not state that at all, it is being in submission to the husband's leadership. It's helping him do his work, not doing his work for him.

Being submissive doesn't mean you have to be his maid either. I think you are doing a bit more than necessary, but on the other hand if he refuses to pick up clothes it is also not worth a fight.
Meh, if it helps him to be his maid, then, yeah, we should be his maid. I've never had any problems picking up after hubby, but that's because I love him and know he picks up after me too.

Sure but if someone tried to call him a title that most had reserved for the Lord...it would really cause some to reject that he had right to that title.

Is that because the term master could be to batten hat someone is over you most people hate the idea that someone is there master so I think do to man starting to hate the idea of a master people have given different names for people above them.

like I said the term is often reserved for the Lord Himself...so of course some might not relate to using that term for a man, even their husband.

Nice. Okay, whelp, since this is turning into the reading into things and accusing forum post, I'll be checking out of it now. I find great irony in the 'you're not loving' beatings we give. "Hi, Kettle. You're black." said Pot. And, no, that isn't a racial slur, just, you know, because that's where you're going to take it.

:) Enjoy your time here. :)
But quoting some website about what another person must be like strictly based on age isn't "reading into things and accusing?" :rolleyes:
