Sometimes it get's confusing to understand...

I have found many people get confused by some of the scriptures in the Bible when it comes to "a wife's role".

The following was a post from a close friend of mine on FaceBook:

Colossians 3: 18-20 18 Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord. 19 Husbands, love your wives, and be not bitter against them. 20 Children, obey your parents in all things, for this is well-pleasing in the Lord...How simple life would be.......IF people would just believe...

My Response:

I say: Proverbs 12-4,18 &19- 4 A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones.18-The words of the reckless pierce like swords, but the tongue of the wise brings healing. 19 Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment. *Think about it...or I'm sure you have heard "behind every man is a great woman";"Loose lips sink ships" and "Kill them with kindness" I say: "Be careful not to speak out of anger... it will be the first thing remembered and used against you later down the road"


After talking about the posting with my friend I found out he was just trying to point out loving your wives and added obey your parents.

Because of the word 'subjection' many consider it to mean Obey your husband like a dictator but in my opinion it's not that at all!

Whether you are married or in a partnership with another person you have committed yourself to you, should always show respect for one another!

As you see in my response the Bible also says "A wife of noble character is her husband’s crown, but a disgraceful wife is like decay in his bones." If you are a believer, in your heart you will know God spoke often about women, good or bad lessons are throughout the Bible!

The spirit moves people in different ways... many times some of the scripture are taken literally when there is a deeper meaning which is to be learned.

Take time to read your Bible and let the spirit move you to not only read the scripture but learn the message God is trying to teach us!

Have A Blessed Day!
