Hey Cheryl,

How’s it going? I haven’t read your post entirely… but I did just read their post. I also haven’t read all the comments (waaay to many). But I was thinking of some things.

They apparently believe that they have the right to as other “wives” to be silent (i.e. Suzanne McCarthy). Which I assume means that they believe woman/wives should submit to all men (not just their husbands). At least that’s the impression that I get.

They also believe that a husband does have to submit to other authorities (such as, “a boss at work, a cop on the highway, the IRS April 15th, the pastor preaching, the elders correcting”). What if it was a woman boss? or a woman cop? or a woman at the IRS? It seems like they would have the right to tell them to be silent and to submit.

Also, they seem to have forgotten Ephesians 5:25, “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her…” That sounds too submissive for me. Perhaps it should be changed to “Husbands love your wife as Christ loved the church and made all the decisions for her…”

God’s Glory,
Lew
