Hi Cindy and welcome to my blog!

You said:

God’s way. It has nothing to do with inequality but everything to do with roles.

The Bible never mentions “roles”. In fact we are told that we are all to submit one to another and that submission is to be the characteristic of a Christian following Christ. This means that the things that you learned about your attitude as a wife were correct in that you are to respect your husband and to serve him as unto Christ.

The problems come when husband is told that he is not to submit to his wife and that his “role” precludes submission. The comp message is one-sided even though they preach that the husband should sacrifice for his wife. How can sacrifice not include submission to her needs?

If you read through my blog you will see that I preach mutual submission and that submission is what we are all called to. It isn’t just women who are to submit to Christian men, but Christian men are also to submit to their Christian sisters. This is a submission that is Christ-like, but it foreign to the comp message. They just don’t go far enough so that they have watered down the Word.

I hope this helps!
Cheryl
