leadership
what is the problem with so many Christians today? the Bible clearly tells us that women are to have one role, and men another. But so many people try to read this away and explain it away from Scripture.
the problem is pride on the women's part, lack of backbone on the men's part, and misunderstanding on both parts.
Listen, there needs to be leadership. If there isn't leadership, then that results in chaos. If there's fighting over who is going to lead, that's almost tyranny (defn: "a ruler who had seized power without legal right to it") and also leads to chaos.
God tells us clearly in His Word: "Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ." (1 Cor. 11:3)
No, woman is not lower or lesser or unequal to man. If you were to say that, then by the same reasoning God the Son is lower than God the Father. Which is untrue. Just because man is given one role and woman another does not mean that woman is less than man. Man and woman are equal. Read that verse again, who has the harder role? The woman or the man? The man does because, just like every leadership situation, the leader takes all the flak when something goes wrong. It's the leader's responsibility to make sure things go well.
My mom is awesome. A lot of women say that if they have discussed something with their husband and expressed to him that they feel he is going to make the wrong decision, they will step up and actually stop him from making that decision. My mom rocks because she realizes that is wrong. The husband is the leader, he makes the final decision. If he makes the wrong decision after he has discussed it with his wife, that is his decision and he is in charge. If things go wrong in God's eyes, God knows the situation. He knows it was the husband who messed up. Maybe God is going to use that mess up to teach the husband something, to help him to grow. It's not the woman's place to step in and stop him. She can express her concern, but it is his final decision.
Boy I got going on that one :).
Call me chauvinist if you like, but you're arguing against the Bible which is God's word.

Genesis 3:8-14a:
"And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves....lalala...Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, "Where are you?" So he said, "I heard your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because i was naked; and i hid myself." And He said, :who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat? Then the man said," The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate it." and the Lord God said to the woman,"what is this you have done?" The woman said,"The serpent deceived me, and I ate." So the Lord God said to the serpent....
Look closely at this passage. It reveals a lot. who is it that was questioned first by God? Man. He was the first to be held accountable for the actions of he and his wife. Look at his response....more to come.
