Nowhere in Scripture does it say that because Adam was formed first, husbands are to "rule" their wives.
Scriptures plainly teach that Husband shall rule over the wife.
Gen_3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he (HUSBAND)
shall rule over thee (WIFE).
And Scriptures plainly reveals that it is important who was formed first, consider:
1Ti 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. For Adam was first formed, then Eve. (God seems to think it pretty important to mention it in His Word)
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.
Scriptures plainly teach that women were made for the man:
I Corinthians 11:8 For the man is not of the woman; but the woman of the man. Neither was the man created for the woman; but the woman for the man.
Nor does it say anywhere that "wives are to obey their husbands in everything".
Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in EVERY THING.
Rather, Ephesians 5 tells wives to "submit to" their husbands. Children and slaves are to obey. "Obey" and "submit" are not true synonyms.
Can you explain what the bolded words mean in the next Holy Inspired by God verse?
Tit 2:5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, OBEDIENT to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
Doesn't Obedient mean to OBEY? Aren't the aged women, according to God (the Word), suppose to be teaching the wives to be OBEDIENT to their own husbands? Not in America for sure. Get stoned if you do, in a country where the women have become men, and the men have become obedient to their wives.

The issue of "order" as you call it, is your interpretation. You seem very concerned about this. Only because of the wickedness of the human heart is there concern about which is in charge. Truly, Jesus is the One in charge. Both must submit to His Lordship. [/quote]
Seems to me the Word of God also seems to think it is pretty important as well, when it comes to the issue of Husbands and wives. For Scriptures made sure to mention, who is the Head of who, who is to obey who, who was made first, who was made for whom. Do i teach these things or does Scriptures teaches these things. What is it to me, if the women of this generation chooses to ignore the Word of God because they do not agree with it. What you did in your statement is called deference. Instead of understanding that it is Scriptures that has an issue with this particular topic, you direct it at me, saying that i am the one with the issue. Therefore because you think, it comes from me, and i am the one that seems to be very concerned about, you don't have to be concerned about it, because it comes from me. That is deference. The Word of God plainly teaches these things concerning the Husband and the Wife, what is it to me, if you think i am the one concerned about it?
Agreed, it's not "Eve and Adam" but it also isn't "Adam over Eve". Rather, it is "Adam and Eve"... together, partners alongside one another. Sequence, not hierarchy.
You teach it is not hierarchy, Scriptures plainly teaches it is. Husband is to Rule over the wife. Wife is to obey her husband. woman was made for the man. Husband is the Head of the wife. Hierarchy for sure. Jesus is over the Church, yes? Is it not instructed of wives to submit to their husband even as the Church to Jesus? Hierarchy.

Same goes for males; your point adds nothing to the discussion.
Are we not talking about wives, women? The point is still True, regardless if YOU think it adds to the discussion or not.

Our nicknames (Dino246, DiscipleDave, Demi777 etc.) are printed at the top left of each posting in blue for males and pink for females.

Interpretation of prophecy belongs to God (2 Peter 1:20). Interpretation of Scripture is for humans. It is practically impossible to read Scripture and not interpret. I've clarified this previously.
Where is that written anywhere in all of Scriptures Old or New, that interpretation of Scriptures belong to humans? Sure we are to try to understand what Scriptures is trying to teach us or tell us, and sure we are to study Scriptures, knowing what is where, and what is written and what is not written. But when someone interprets the Scriptures to fit into their own false doctrines this is not of God.
