i'm back over here in random ... retreating to safety?
when i get angry, i often regret speaking

we are to love God above all others, isn't this about doing His WILL?
how do we ACT on love for God?
if we put our children or a spouse above His will, are we loving Him at all?
i shall live to regret my mouth once again but here goes: what woman would or SHOULD want a man that pussy foots around when God tells him something? i've seen over and over husbands that are living in fear of their wives, in fear of what will happen with the children they share with this wife, IF he does Gods will, IF he "moves too fast"
point me to scripture that shows men in the bible coddling possessive wives

Yah has given us an organizational chart in specific language twice in Scripture.
Ephesians 5:22-24
1 Corinthians 11:3
Tradition has not only gifted us with monogamy to the exclusion of polygyny, it has also gifted us with the idea that the women is only sorta under her husband, but really under the Father and His son. Because men are human, don’tcha you know.
Women only feel equal when their husbands yield to their wishes.

This reminds me that I have already experienced reading at least a dozen profiles on the Zoosk dating site in which women have written the following in slightly-different variations but with no alteration in meaning: "I'm looking for a man who knows that a woman should walk in life either beside or in front of her man rather than behind him." And they're not talking about actual physical walking.

And if they meant to write "beside instead of in front of or behind," then it still qualifies as a Freudian slip. The unconscious comfort with assuming dominance over men is quite telling.

The accompanying text also always tends to reflect that these women are miserable in their lives, but they are thousands of miles from recognizing that their misery (including their loneliness) is connected to their habits of attempting to dominate men.

If children are as important as we think they are, and God is a far better Father than us all could ever hope to be, Why were Job's children expendable?

its not my place to preach but i can share how i think of it, we are trained from birth to value this life, so to us an early death, (or any pitiful struggle for that matter) seems tragic. but He loves each person whether they are still walking in THIS life, or not.

"feel equal" ?
 
it's not the first time i've sensed that there must be something different in my growing up, than what has happened to many other women, because i have never felt that sort of need for somebody to ""make me feel equal ""

i can't help but think if i want a crisp fresh autumn apple, why would you give me a warm georgia peach fresh from the tree? it's just not the same thing, being male, being female, nothing to do with 'equal'. i am not here to be you, and you are not here to be me.

If only your understanding was universal.
But alas, the enemy has so many bamboozled.
 
And my reading of @steve is that he's distinguishing between being equal and feeling equal, as well as distinguishing between being equal and being the same.

Great thoughts, both of you, @steve and @ginger2!

I want to meet a Japanese Christian someday! I looked up some pictures of Japanese Bibles and they look pretty cool! I find Japanese letters interesting.

I want to add something to this:

I also think it would be cool to meet a Christian from every country. I like learning about different cultures.

Whenever I meet someone from a different country, I start jumping up and down with excitement LOL!
