Yes, Paul said it.
1 Corinthians 11:3
But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, and
the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God.
Q. Does Christ have authority over the Church? absolutely
Q. Does men have authority over women according to Paul? absolutely
1 Corinthians 14:34
women are to be silent in the churches. They are not permitted to speak,
but must be in submission, as the Law says.
You can only submit to an authority and Paul here is not talking about women submitting to the Lord but to men by being silent.
As much as it sounds bad to some ears, it is what it is, no sugar coating, no clever interpretations.
Eph 5:
22Wives, submit to your husbands
as to the Lord.
23For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, His body, of which He is the Savior.
24Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.
Yes,
wives submit to the husbands as to to the Lord. A command, no clever interpretations needed, just as the church submits to God.
Again, command or not, Adam had authority over Eve and men have authority over women. Fathers have authority over sons/ Teachers have authority over students/ Masters have authority over servants/ Mothers have authority over daughters.
It is all over the bible.
