Handyman62 View Profile History	The Bible demands that a woman must be in submission to man. Posted : 26 Feb, 2026 09:58 AM 1 Timothy 2:9-15 New International Version 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. 11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety. Ephesians 5:22-25 New International Version 22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. 23 For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. 24 Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything. 25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her Genesis 3:16 New International Version 16 To the woman he said, “I will make your pains in childbearing very severe; with painful labor you will give birth to children. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.” 1 Corinthians 14:34 New International Version 34 Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. 1 Corinthians 11:3-16 New International Version 3 But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 4 Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. 5 But every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is the same as having her head shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, she might as well have her hair cut off; but if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, then she should cover her head. 7 A man ought not to cover his head, since he is the image and glory of God; but woman is the glory of man. 8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10 It is for this reason that a woman ought to have authority over her own head, because of the angels. 11 Nevertheless, in the Lord woman is not independent of man, nor is man independent of woman. 12 For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God. 13 Judge for yourselves: Is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered? 14 Does not the very nature of things teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a disgrace to him, 15 but that if a woman has long hair, it is her glory? For long hair is given to her as a covering. 16 If anyone wants to be contentious about this, we have no other practice—nor do the churches of God. 1 Peter 3:1-6 New International Version 3 Wives, in the same way submit yourselves to your own 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, 2 when they see the purity and reverence of your lives. 3 Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. 4 Rather, 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. 5 For this is the way the holy women of the past who put their hope in God used to adorn themselves. They submitted themselves to their own husbands, 6 like Sarah, who obeyed Abraham and called him her lord. You are her daughters if you do what is right and do not give way to fear. Post Reply

Posted : 27 Feb, 2026 06:19 AM At least one woman here would disagree with the Bible on that, and number of men also disagree with God on every Bible verse you just quoted. One woman here praises men who are silent on those Bible verses. She praises men that remain silent on other Bible verses she wants to discard as well. The worst men she finds are the men who point to scripture on verses that she flushes down the toilet. So, you are on her hate list. She is speaking against men all the time. Insult after insult. And the men she most likes will not mention a word from scripture that she in her heart has banned from the Bible. Those men are on her safe list, for they do not mention the scriptures that upset her for they do not want to get on her fury list or to become unpopular with the ladies. They rather be thought well of by women for not saying Bible verses that women don't like. Never mention a Bible verse that women don't like seems to be the rule for many here. Post Reply

Posted : 27 Feb, 2026 05:54 PM Men need to stop giving women the attention they don't deserve and start giving them the attention they do deserve by no longer giving them a pass on bad behavior. Back in the day women were shamed for the things they're given a pass on today. Shaming needs to come back for both men and women. Post Reply

Posted : 27 Feb, 2026 05:59 PM Women thrive on optics and shaming would with out a doubt be the most effective way for bringing about a change in their behavior because more than anything else they hate to look bad. Just imagine if women were shamed for divorcing a perfectly good man for no reason. Or cheating on her husband. Or not being a virgin on her wedding night. Post Reply

RioLove View Profile History	The Bible demands that a woman must be in submission to man. Posted : 23 Jul, 2026 09:08 AM here in my 11th year of celibacy and single life devoted to learn Why "GOD is LOve" and determined to please the BrideGroom-Jesus Christ in that satisfaction inside HIS Love-so my human carnality doesnt give satan Any room to separate the union I pray for now..the Lord has opened my understanding of a few pointrs..1- a male is not a man until he perceives his total need to be genuinely sorry for living in all the world taught him to be..to do..and all the selfish justifications that agree with his ego..his misled feelings and satans rebellion against the disciplined order of Creator Gods will accomplished in the earth(en vessel/spirit and soul of mankind) then that male's repentence-then the filling-or serious enduring desire to be filled with Gods Spirit/character,will,and presence=The Holy Ghost-Holy Spirit..then he learns to put his heart toward purpose and loving God back by submitting his will and ego to Gods standard and Word...he is not a man untill this. 2-once he is a man..it is not his carnal nature that she submits to..but the living,active Word/character of God activated inside the man, that she says "Amen" to..because SHE loves God and is satisfied in God where she gets her virtue = peace..nurturing patience and understanding to be the helpmate that she GETS JOY FROM BEING-as the neck that holds the head(the man) up after the world hates on him for standing in truth and whats right-when he needs a soft lap to lay his tired head on..a 'welcome home' smile..a cheerleader that doesnt emasculate-but celebrates him,so because she already submits to Gods Word and Gods order-she is UNDER (the meaning of "sub" ) the protection & provision & guidance of the man (1st Corinthians 11:3-9)..so Genesis 3:6 is Eves inheritance-making sense of Genesis 3:16-then Where should the umberella Be positioned in a hard thunderstorm?..above her head...like the shelter'd protection/covering of the roof..it is her acceptance and e mbracing of this need for a covering/protection that births the practise of 'submitting' to his headship in why Sarah called Abraham "lord"...because he was the king of his home and he bowed his head to Jesus Christs Lordship..theres only one spirit who hates Gods order and Gods design-yet in her knowing her protection IS to be above her in position..not in a prefferred importance...because neither could exist without the other-in this..we see that her sub-mission is her protection-because she bonds by communication..she is influenced by who she opens her mind to as words are seed...ask Eve...then if she has No problem calling,and giving her respect to...and being prompt & on time for-keeping her word to the "land-lord"..how much more should she give her respect and keeping her word to her Genesis 3:16 "and he will lord it over her..." mate? so brothers-its not so much You shes rebelling against-but the spirit in her/influencing her-rebels against Gods order..when you see this as an attack on her..you stop fighting her and fast/pray against the spiritual influence.
