“And how can she judge exactly what is sin since she only gets a portion granted from the man who professes to follow Christ? So, she is really stuck in a bad position.”
Lin,
That really is a bad position for a Christian – since we’re told to “walk by the Spirit, and you will not carry out the desire of the flesh. For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; for these are in opposition to one another, so that you may not do the things that you please”…..or maybe Gal.5:16-17 applies to ‘men’ only? But, what a paradox that would be – without it how would the wife know when she’s desiring against the Spirit for more than her “portion?”
….never mind – I just recalled that comps solve that by having the ‘wise’ husband tell her…hmmmm…Can anyone say, “Circular?” Can anyone say, “Usurping the Holy Spirit?”
