Only to the religiously conceited was he offensive."<br /><br />FALSE. There were occasions where He was quite offensive to His own disciples.<br /><br />Umm... was "Get thee behind me Satan" state to Peter "offensive"?<br /><br />The definition of "rebuke" is:<br /><br />"an expression of sharp disapproval or criticism."<br /><br />How about this one?<br /><br />When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do You want us to call fire down from Heaven to destroy them [even as Elijah did]?” But Jesus turned and rebuked them. And He said, “You do not know what kind of spirit you are of, for the Son of Man did not come to destroy men’s lives, but to save them.” [Luke 9.54-55]<br /><br />Or this one:<br /><br />So, as Jesus said, “Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest, and repent. Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with him, and he with Me.” [Revelation 3.19-20]<br /><br />http://www.holyspiritsworkshop.com/the-eight-rebukes-of-jesus/<br /><br />How about "Of you of little faith"? Would that make you feel GOOD if the Son of God asked you that? Jesus told Martha she should be more like her sister. Sisters never get offended at being compared to one another, do they? Geez.

Instead it is more like a Colonel and a Lt Colonel, where the man has the authority given to him by the General (Christ),and trusts the woman to make decisions on his behalf, but deferring to him when necessary. It's the TRUST that is implicit here. I submit to my husband because he is a wise and godly man and I trust him. He allows me decision making, because he trusts me to make a sensible decisions and knows I will consult him when necessary. He also consults me and wants my opinion and input on decisions, as he trusts my wisdom. we both pray and consult God. It's not complicated, nor is it denigrating to either of us. In any relationship, SOMEONE has to have the final say when there is a disagreement. Since Christ is the head of my husband, who is the head of the household, then obviously he should have the final say. To me, it's a no-brainer.Rootietoothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06804816032287310463noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3115260514178140021.post-79438624620132616612012-12-01T18:23:50.088-06:002012-12-01T18:23:50.088-06:00"If my wife respects me, love follows.

I'd argue that love and respect are two completely different things. You can respect someone you hate (an accomplished enemy or rival) and yes, you CAN love someone you don't respect (a friend or family member who's made bad choices in life.)<br /><br />I'd also argue that respect IS earned. You can't *make* yourself respect someone. Sure, you can go through the motions. You can defer to someone's position of authority and do what you're told but not have any real respect for the individual. I'm sure many of us have had a boss like that at one point or another.<br /><br />So I guess my question is...are actions (going through the motions) more or less important than the actual, genuine respect we have for someone who has earned it?</i> - Northwoods<br /><br />Yes, love and respect are two completely different things. Biblical love also has four distinct categories. The command for men to love their wives is Agape. Very different than Eros and does not always conjure up loving feelings in a wife, immediately. <br /><br />And yes, you can respect someone you do not love. See the biblical story of Esther.<br /><br />We can go round and round about respect being earned. It's not in many instances. In the Military, one respects the rank and thus respects the authority of the person wearing the rank. In a Christian marriage, the "rank" of the husband is that of Head of the wife. <br /><br />What you may not be understanding is the power there is in a wife going through the motions even when it is just actions and not something that flows from her heart initially. Again, the story of Esther comes to mind. God saw her following His commands to respect her husband, the king (even having been brought to him as a sex slave). That submission saved her people. The king was changed. <br /><br />Yes, the actions are what is commanded of us. The heart follows when we do it <i>as unto the Lord</i>. I can't stress enough that I am speaking to individuals who have proclaimed Jesus Christ as their Savior and desire to follow God's commands. This is not advice I would give to non Christians. As I've said, I don't advise non Christians about anything because everything they've done to that point has been based on a subjective morality. I believe God is powerful enough to bless even the non believer when they unknowingly follow his commands however with respect/submission their behavior will not be <i>as unto the Lord</i>.

My idea about the word "submissio...Great blog. My idea about the word "submission" is definitely as you state it as being completely changed in definition. It is as if people view it as a dog and its master. Women are not submitting in a way where a master gives a stern voice and the dog bows. Quite the opposite. There are things men are better at than women and vise versa. Most of the things men are good at are things they love to do. For example: I'd say most men love to work hard and provide a roof for their loved ones. As women, we love to make a house a home with personal touches. Men don't mind getting dirty which is why we see more men outside working in construction in the heat. What people misunderstand is that when they say submission is bad, they immediately think of abuse. We are talking, rather, of a Godly man and the wife will soon follow him. If a man is not Godly, the woman becomes completely screwed up. There are roles for men and women and we naturally fall into them if letting go of he resistance happens. It seems like the more people fight it, the more unhappy they seem because people in this society make it uncool to be what you are.

We aren't talking Disney's happily ever after type of love. Real love. The type that will say that thing you don't want to, as a husband, because you know your wife will be pissed. But after you pray about it, you know you need to say it anyway. She needs to hear it and you need to be strong about it. Scary indeed.
