I have to share this.

I was listening to a christian radio station “Calvary”. I live in Chicago, IL. Anyway for the most part there right on but I heard some things from certian pastors that are way off. It was on Eph. 5:21,22. He wa talking out off both sides of his mouth. First he says ALL believers submit one to the other (so far so good). Then he reads verse 22 and said that if the Husband and wife can’t agree on something the Husbands has the final say, thats how God set it up! He just contradicted himself!

The Bible says…Marry only in the Lord and “All believers” would include the Home and Church…Everywhere! Submit one to the other as Eph 5:21 states.

Children are to obey ther parents yet wifes are NEVER told to obey there husbands…Why?….because it’s not that kind of relationship!

He said that men will be judged how they lead and women will be judge how they submitted on judgement day?! I was like what! Then I thought of Adam and Eve and the Serpent. Adam & Eve each had to give there OWN account, noone spoke for the other, no submition/leadership roles.

No mention of submition and leadship roles in the begining! God treated them both as equals who both had equal rule even those now things are unequal because of the Fall. Even after they fell, God still treated them as equals letting each person speak for ones self!

I just wanted to share what I heard and what was going through my mind during this radio program. He was right on as far as the simple gospel, jesus is the only way, and he talked about Jesus growing up and at age 12 he was missing for 3 days and there was mourning etc etc and how Jesus was buried for 3 days in the tomb and there was mourning But he rose again on the 3rd day. Right on about alot of points but when he got to women he was way off.

He was talking about how Jesus obeyed his parents. An streched scripture a bit by saying Mary never told Jesus who his Father was but said Joseph was his Father?! Thats putting words in Marys mouth, Jesus already knew at that point that Joesph was his step father. I find it hard to believe that Mary and Joseph wouldn’t just say, you were concieved by the Holy Spirit or something to that effect, to Jesus as he was growing up. They were both faithful followers, why hide that from God in the flesh!

Once again it brings up this scripture: don’t pay attention to endless myths etc etc. Why do some people try and build teachings on things not found in scripture. An adding words to text, just reading things into the account making it say something it doesn’t? The more I read my Bible and all these articles on this site, I’m learning so much about scripture in Context with the Help of the Spirit. I catch things i hear on the radio now and call it out, to expose it. Thanks Cheryl and everyone for your great input/info/insight.
