How interesting that the texts you choose ignore the commandments given of wives:

"But I want you to know that the head of every man is Christ, the head of woman is man, and the head of Christ is God."

Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord.

Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. Wives, in the same way be submissive to your husbands so that, if any of them do not believe the word, they may be won over without words by the behavior of their wives, when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as braided hair and the wearing of gold jewelry and fine clothes. Instead, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God's sight. For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to make themselves beautiful. They were submissive to their own husbands, like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her master. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear.

Ah, the thought of wives submitting to their husbands as "masters" sends a quake of hate down your rebellious spine. How horrible the thought of obeying God seems to you that you needed to create a new doctrine where women become the masters. It is no wonder the homosexuals are so bold, with self-serving children of the Devil like you acting as theologians.

Hey, thanks so much! Jesus said that since he was called the son of satan that his true followers should also expect the same. So, you have given me a blessing from my Lord. I appreciate it very much. Thanks.

It is you who chooses to ignore the men’s responsibilty and focus on the responsiblity of others. That is the definition of rebellion, by the way.

I purposefully left out the verses for wives, of course. You already seem to focus on the verses for women, forgetting the ones on husbands responsibilities.

From the start, I said that both men and women need to remember their “proper roles”—and then I pointed out the scriptural basis for the proper role for the husband. Facts is facts.
