FC -- you pull quotes with no linkage to the original question or statement and with little of no linkage to the other little snippets that you post. the Bible is not a book of quotes which you just put here and there with no respect to the context, to the overall meaning of the word. Why do you think I brought up the point about Paul saying that the wife should submit to her husband? Take that one liner and you will rile most women, even non-feminists. however, read the ENTIRE passage and Paul puts the onus on BOTH husband and wife as EQUAL partners -- he urges husbands to treat the wife as part of his own body. This EQUALITY would be in complete contradiction to that one-liner inference.

He is talking about sex in that passage.

But the wife is still to be submissive to the husband. Fod the woman was created for the man, not the other way around.
