Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands.
--- 1 Peter 3:1 ---Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
--- 1 Timothy 2:11-12 ---Wives, submit yourselves unto your husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church.
--- Ephesians 5:22-23 ---It is better to live in a corner of the roof than in a house shared with a contentious woman.

[B] Those were the days my friend,
We'd thought they'd never end,
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose,
We'd fight and never lose,
Change is good.. 😄

Wow... lotta interesting folks. ha.
I am what you could call a work in progress. I love God very much and have been following (or trying to) His will for the last 5 years of my life. Led a very depraved, hate-filled and violent life beforehand, and I was raised in the church! Church doesn't make you a christian anymore than sitting in a garage makes you a car.
Now, granted, I am a "christian" ( i prefer simply a servant of The Almighty), but I would hope people would remember, I am still a flawed, human MAN. I will curse, spit, get mad and just generally do stupid things on occasion because I am still a man. Christianity makes me no better than anyone on the earth, it just means I know when I do certain things that to me they are wrong. My faith had a very positive outcome on my life.
1. I was going to kill everyone I knew the following week of my salvation, including all those who tormented me in highschool. That didn't happen, thankfully.
2. I stopped living for me, and started caring about others.
3. I found a reason to live, beyond the hope that tomorrow would be better.
4. I started loving all people, even when they hurt me. I may not like it, I may not respond positively to you, but I do love you. And I would give my life to save anyone I saw that needed it.
Some folks become "christians" and become better humans. Some use it as an excuse to fill the earth with hatred and their own laws and ideas. Make of it what you will.

These scriptures are all written for believers both the wife and husband. It clearly says that the woman should submit to the husband as unto the lord, while the husband is in comparison to Christ as head of the home, also called the priest of the home. My husband is not a believer so I am submitted to Christ only as my husband does not submit to Christ. Many people does not understand this and thinks that God gave woman instruction to submit to men who does not honour God or Jesus. It mentions the example of Sarah and Abraham. Well we all know who Abraham was and his relationship with God. The part about woman not to teach is about teaching in church and congregations or to be in a authoritative position over the men, and we all know that many woman in those times were illiterate. But there are many scriptures were God instructs the mother to teach her children in the ways of God. 🙂
folks gotta remember that the old testament became fulfilled when Christ came, and though the law did not get tossed out the window, the people were no longer under the threat of eternal damnation for violating it.
when it comes to women, ya'll do what you will. If you have a solid relationship with a Christ-loving man, groovy. If not, do the best job you can to love him, and raise your children with at least good morals and common sense.

I was raised atheist and made a choice to follow Jesus by doing the will of the father in heaven. The Holy Scriptures and the Living Christ has always been there for me when the world got me down. Praise the Lord!😄
I am so glad to hear this. Many people who are raised atheist have a hard time finding God or just never do. I am happy that you have God in your life 🙂. My friend Kim is an theist, I try to help lead her to God but she doesn't seem to care 🙁

she is atheist meaning she doesn't believe in God. She would rather worship the Devil as she has talked about. As a Christian I am only trying to help save her. How is that being arrogant?
