Micah 6:8: "He [God] has told you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you but to (that's an action word), to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?"I restate: We are not called to be pacifists. God requires much of us "to do." "Do justice" is one. James is full of examples of how we are to live. Most apply to those who call themselves Christians. They are not applied to non-believers. A government is called to different actions than believers or non-believers. Rulers are empowered to take actions which differ from individuals. And individuals are to submit to their government, as the believer is to submit to God, as the wife is to submit to her husband, and he to her. In this way is order accomplished, politically, nationally, and within the family.
We differ only on opinion as to whether the Taliban deserve punishment for harboring those who have murdered thousands. I have already substantiated my position through scripture. And there are countless others which apply, to which you will, undoubtedly dispute with others. The debate is pointless.
I may have missed the verse where the husband is supposed to submit to the wife? He is to love her as though it were his own body, and die for her, if necessary. I might be wrong on this, but could I request a text for the 'submission' part of it? I've checked 3 seperate texts, 1st Corinth. Ephesians, and 1st Peter and none of them say submit to the wife. Perhaps it was a 'mistype' on your part?
