@Heiserite @lutherananswers Scriptural context trumps culture, Jewish oral laws

@Heiserite @lutherananswers Scriptural context trumps culture, Jewish oral laws or Greek medicine⎯scriptural context trumps everything.

@Heiserite @lutherananswers But this is precisely the problem. When you don't deal with Paul's own context first, why should we follow the Ancient Greek medicine argument?

@MICAH_SIXEIGHT So shouldn’t a wife live her husband as Christ lives the church too? Shouldn’t the husband respect his wife? Paul is addressing common problems not suggesting that it’s one way only.

Eph 5:21 debate

@MICAH_SIXEIGHT Both the husband and wife should submit to Christ and honor his word and love each other. So if they've done all that, why should either compromise that honor? Why is only the husband to submit to Christ? I'm confused because now I'm...

@MICAH_SIXEIGHT Ok, let's get back to something more relevant to male/female... the husband has a six pack and the musculature of an ape. But he should forgive and love his wife and "not beat down his celly" but pray for her. Great! What does this h...
