Cheryl,
You speak incorrectly when you state that men are not to rule over the woman. Read the entire bible before quoting your favorite verses which enbolden your feminism. Try this verse for starters:
Genesis 3:16
Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and
thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and
thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over
thee.
Sorry to burst your bubble but it would appear that God demoted the woman and put her under the rule of man because of her inability to be rational. Also note, in Genesis, that God when to Adam (the head) to ask what had happened and never asked the woman even though she was the one who ate from the tree first. The day women start preaching in church is the day the church begins to die. Perhaps that’s why God gave the commandment, “women obey your husbands” to women and to men He said, “Men love your wife”(notice wife…singular). Obedience implies submission. Love simply implies commitment….something most men have a problem with, hence the commandment from God to man.
Don’t take it personally – it’s just the way it is. There are certain things that need to be in order if things are to work properly. In heaven we will all be equal in absolute terms because Satan will not be there to take advantages of our weaknesses and human flaws. Meanwhile, obey God – submit and obey your husbands.
No matter how hard you women try to be like men or be “equal” to men it will never happen because it is not God’s will and God’s will is above all of us. His will cannot and will not be undone. Amen and Amen!
