That’s slavery in my book!
It God’s Word in the New Testament. And there’s a reason for it.
Eve is a deceivable creature, subject to Satan’s deceptions. Therefore, she must be subject to the man AS UNTO THE LORD, not outside the Lord.
It is a heart matter. A woman must have a heart that submits to the man IN THE LORD.
To be free, a woman must have the Lord who will set her free even as she is subject to the man in the Lord.
The only answer for men and women is Jesus who holds all things together and gives eternal life to those who come to Him.
Remember, you as a woman are EQUAL IN VALUE to the man. However you are NOT EQUAL IN ROLE TO THE MAN. Regardless, your intrinsic value to God is what makes you special, not your performance. Your intrinsic value to God because of the cross of Christ where he died for man and women equally, is what the Gospel of the Grace of Christ is all about.
Agreed-that is slavery any way you slice it, dice it or put a religious spin on it...
