Waneta,

Thanks for posting that.

I liked how you phrased this:

There are many scriptures that tell us what behaviors indicate a true love for God. As you mentioned, treating others as we would like to be treated is one, laying down our lives for others is another, love is not self-seeking, it is not proud and does not consider itself superior, it genuinely seeks the best FOR OTHERS instead of the best for ourselves.

They have imposed their own bias upon God’s Word, and made themselves and their own desires superior to God’s Word.

“Compism is men’s shrine to themselves, and they bow down to the god of husband authority…’”

Indeed.

in spite of the fact that the trinity involves a 3rd “member” and therefore is a poor symbol for a 2-person relationship,
Poor symbols for poor thinking.

lol sad.

Indeed, the discussion about Christ always being submissive to the Father is being used to argue for wives always being subject and secondary to their husbands. And that is why they are so adamant that Christ was always Christ and always secondary to the Father, even though the Bible says that The Word’s subjection has to do with the incarnation.

Ah ha! I see that now.

These male complementarian teachers are not ignorant, they are twisting scripture purposely.

I agree that at least fifty percent of the teachers are not ignorant. It’s a fantasy world to think otherwise, IMO.

But how can we end up with a God-fearing people, when the heavy focus has been to teach wives and children to be man-husband-father fearing people?

Great question!
