“Chafing Against the Bible’s Teaching on Women?” October 23
I was meeting with a sister in Christ about the struggles in her marriage. We had been discussing the role of women. On this occasion, we were talking about submission. She responded, “I’m an educated woman! Why should I submit to him?” Since then I’ve heard many such comments. But I’ve never forgotten how saddened I was by her statement and the awareness of how much feminism has infiltrated the church.
Many of us, though we want to live godly lives, chafe against some of the Bible’s teaching on women, including submission. We’re told on the one hand that we are equal to men, yet we are to submit to our husbands and male leaders in the church. So, are submission and equality mutually exclusive?
