Craig,
Under question #2, you asked:

2. Peter seems to be encouraging a woman to submit to her husband even when he wants her to do something dodgy, because this is what Sarah did for Abraham. I can see how this may show submission and support, but has problems with the rest of scripture.
   Any thoughts? Thanks.

I don’t think that Abraham’s dubious request is what Peter is referring to, but rather the reference to when Sarah called Abraham lord was in regard to the promised Messiah. I can’t find any other biblical reference where she called him lord. Sarah did accept the place of mother even at her old age.

Genesis 18:12 (NASB95)
12. Sarah laughed to herself, saying, “After I have become old, shall I have pleasure, my lord being old also?”
