Featured A Common Mistake In Christian Marriages.

I agree. I don't know a single Baptist that would treat the name of our Savior in such a flippant manner. The quote sounds like she's mocking Ann, a sister in Christ, and the God we serve. "Offensive" is right!

 

I’m sensing butch ideology rooted in sarcasm and possibly attributed to an inferiority complex that seeks justification. Could be something else, but just sayin…

:laugh:

 

I did not say that nobody in the UK (you did notice that I am in the UK, I hope?) believes or teaches that one of the roles of a Christian wife is “to serve her husband as an ethical and moral reference point during selected times when the husband might be ‘Just a little off of center’ in his thinking and decision making as a Spiritual leader of the family and in The Church,” to use your words. I obviously don't know every Christian, or even every preacher, in my country, but I think that if such teaching had been widespread here, I would have come across it, either directly, or by reading/hearing the words of somebody against it.

As far as Mothering Sunday is concerned, in those churches that keep to a "liturgical calendar", and consider that day special, the preaching is far more likely to be on motherhood, rather than husband-wife relationships. To show what I mean, this link takes you (I hope!) to the results of a Google search, limited to pages from the UK, for "Mothering Sunday" sermons. (I must stress that I am not expressing any agreement or disagreement with the content of the various sermons that link leads to, just saying that they do not seem to reflect your notion of the wife as "an ethical and moral reference point during selected times" to her husband.)

Finally, by "get out more", are you suggesting that I should forsake my own church sometimes with the express purpose of discovering false doctrines? If so, that sounds strange to me.

 

Wrong!

Judges 4:4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.​

She was both a prophet and a judge and as such she passed judgments and they had to be obeyed as a leader apointed by God among the Israelites.​

Also you said
"She merely vocalized what God told her to say" and how is that any different than what a preacher does today?​

The only thing is that what the preacher says does not become scripture.​

Jo, I have to join others in what they say. I'll say it in a slighty differnt way:

You talk the talk of submission but you do not walk the walk.

I was going to comment...erased it all and decided it's better to leave sleeping dogs lie :sleeping_2: ....I'm forever amazed at what some people believe <sigh>

 

Feminist liberation theology by any other name smells the same...

 

Hi JoReba,
It is sad that you understand that the Scripture commanded husbands to abuse their wives and wives to put up with that. I really can't figure out if this is what you really think or you are just trolling people here.
In a Christian marriage, a husband is supposed to model Christ and a wife to model the Church. Thus husbands must LOVE their wives as Christ LOVED His Church. That means loving them with all their hearts. Yes, the wives are supposed to submit to the husbands. But please remember, although the Christian family is a model of the relationship between Christ and the Church, the members of the Christian family are sinful people, who - both men and women - tend to make mistakes. If a husband makes a mistake, it is his wife's responsibility to point it out and to help to correct it. And the man who loves his wife will accept it thankfully. If a man has a wrong understanding of the Scripture, he puts himself and his family in danger, so his wife, as a helper, should not just learn this wrong understanding in silence.
Talking about the biggest mistakes in Christian marriages... I think this is when the husbands forget that they should love their wives but remember that the wives should submit to them. Then instead of a loving family we have an abusive relationship, where the man just excersises power turning his wife into a slave.

 

Nothing to do with staying "within the comfort and support of (my) Church group." I just don't think it would be right, instead of worshipping with the church of which I am a member, to go deliberately in search of the false and unbiblical teaching that one of the roles of a Christian wife is “to serve her husband as an ethical and moral reference point during selected times when the husband might be ‘Just a little off of center’ in his thinking and decision making as a Spiritual leader of the family and in The Church.”

If I did do so, it would be easy to find some who teach other false doctrines, such as, "It doesn't matter what you believe as long as you are sincere," or "All religions worship the same God," or "Jesus was a good man, nothing more." But the likelihood of me finding the particular false teaching you mentioned about the role of the Christian wife would be slim here in the UK, as I attempted to point out in my earlier post.

Have you got some scriptural basis for saying that it is right for Christians to forsake services of their own church in order to go on a hunt for false teaching?

 

Look closely at your attitude and sarcasm towards men.
Use your latest post as a model.

If you keep feeding it, it will stick around.

 

This thread reinforces my belief that every circus has a clown.

 

The first reply to this thread should've been "if women are to do as you say, you should not be posting in this thread"

And that should've been the end of this thread. Seeing as trolling has been brought up, it's funny that it's endured.


While the verses indicated do state a womans role, they do not state the step further that our originator is trying to push.

I can't seem to locate a verse in the Bible where it says a man should not go to his wife. It's possible I'm missing it.
