So I've been struggling to understand some stuff that's definitely biblical since forever. The whole thing about submissive wives, that is. The other day Dan presenting a bunch of stuff to me in a really cool way ( Read more... )

YES! that is so awesome! God has created each of us perfectly, and we are to work together to be "other's-centered" Love, especially romantic love, is all about building each other up. This is polar opposite to the chauvanistic idea of "Shut up woman go make and serve me dinner!" Ideally, both are serving each other. The man is taking the position of honoring the woman, and respecting her, showing her worth by putting aside his own desires for power, popularity, and pleasure, to be sure her needs are met. She would not be a silent servant to his every whim, but an equal partner valuable as a human created by God in His image. But neither would she choose to take the position of master over her husband, because he loves her tenderly and she feels secure trusting him because he is looking out for her interests as she is for his. God has created a beautiful plan here, however like everything, we find a way to corrupt and distort it through our humanity.hmm there is a soapbox for ya...

I know, crucifying themselves for our sake.

Interesting thoughts...we should all just live together in live with love and in open arms, and not labling any person of either sex the weaker, at least in my opinion. The whole issue of men vs. women just annoys me though, we always make those reality tv men vs. women events. We're all equal underneith anyway.

It's a hard one to handle. I think Jesus was a feminist.

Very true, theres not just one side to a subject, and no one can be right all the time in different situations with different variations and blah blah blah.

Hehe, I could only hope. Wouldn't that be ironic for the many many years of female suppression? <3
