Liberation from the Imperialist Patriarchy of the Bible - Gender Apostates
why God is God and people are not

May want to remove the link from the quotes of the original message. Otherwise discussion about the subject is valid... male lead households, female led households, or equal disclosure / accountability households? It seems a lot of Christians today do have a more "equal" balance of roles and responsibilities compared to long ago.
In Christianity, women aren't inferior to their husbands. Christian husbands aren't superior to their wives. The distinction between them is of roles, not of importance and value. In christianity, there is no jew, no gentile, no man, no woman, we are all new creatures, we are all called to the same dignity. The relation between a man and a woman should be dictated by love alone, not by ideologies, concepts, dead religions and so on.
It is not for nothing that marriage is, in christianity, one of the holy mysteries (along with Baptism, Eucharist etc.). The love between a man and a woman is blessed by God and is for our salvation.
The fact that christians don't live up to their beliefs is another story.

Those who go on and on and on about how Jesus is "all about love" (which He is of course, but not in the way they mean it) conveniently forget that when He returns, it will not be in the form of a little helpless baby in a stable, but as a conquering King. A King who will put down all of His enemies.
And as for the Bible giving tacit approval to the abuse and mistreatment of women, that behavior lies with mankind, not with God. We have way too much throwing the baby out with the bathwater going on.

But fortunately, Jesus set us free from the curse of the law of sin and death. So we do not have to live like Genesis 3 has authority over us and is alive and well today.
"For the law of the Spirit of life has set you free in Christ Jesus from the law of sin and death." Romans 8:2
"For freedom Christ has set us free; stand firm therefore, and do not submit again to a yoke of slavery." Gal. 5:1

Is it New Testament theology or not<---wives be subject unto your husbands in all things? Yes or No? And that is the point!.......There is an order......God given order....
God-->man--->woman-->children!
And the freedom from law of sin and death does not alleviate the God given family order as still defined in the N.T. and reiterated in the Epistles as in Timothy and Titus

What does this mean in a practical sense? Wives be subject to your husbands in all things. Does that simply mean the husband has the final say, but if he gives her flexibility to manage or make decisions in certain traditionally masculine roles (let's say making the majority of the income, or knowing better how to handle a gun in the face of a threat because she grew up around them in the country)... then that's ok?
