More and more, I’m starting to see that many men aren’t really obsessed with submission because it’s what the Bible says. Hell, they could care less what the Bible says. The reason why they so badly maintain a strong hold on that bible passage is because of their god complex.

Growing up especially in a culture where women have been made to tend to you all your life, with the indoctrination that all of that is just preparation for when you find a woman who would serve you faithfully until the rest of your days while you have to just “provide.”

The thought of not getting that complete master-servant relationship is inconceivable to them so they refuse powerfully, any school of thought that says leaders serve too.

It’s certainly not about what the Bible says for if it’s about what the Bible says, these men will actually

Live upright. But oh no. They engage in all kinds of moral decadence and various kinds of sins. Lying, theft, covetousness, greed, false witness, fornication, adultery, gossip, the list is endless.

They don’t even love their neighbors which is the golden commandment.

Peace? It’s a foreign notion to them. The Bible said all these things too. So why are you so comfortable flunking the other commandments but once you hear submission, the veins in your neck pop out?

I’m even going too far. Let’s talk about the commandment that comes just before

The one on submission. The one that was addressed to you. To first submit yourself to Christ who is the head of the church and to love your wife as Christ loves his bride; the church.

Do you even know the gravity of that commandment? To love as Christ loves?

Christ wasn’t adore just because he was a man who could do miracles. It was because he was a man who led by SERVING. He wasn’t going around barking orders expecting to be bowed to. Oh no, this man was so meek and lowly, people couldn’t even tell who was who when they walked

in crowds.

How many of you will wash your wife’s feet and dry them with towels? How many of you will give your lives for your wives if need be?

Have you even learned how to treat her as a human with her own feelings and dreams, or you only ever just see her as a property?

How many of you even know what love is?

You get so obsessed with someone else fulfilling their own instruction that you fail to learn, to understand what your own instruction truly means so that you can fulfill it adequately!

Have you ever taken time to digest what love is as exhaustively defined in 1 cor 13? Is that the kind of love you show your wives?

Many of you are abusive, domineering, selfish men who do nothing but take and take and take! But when they talk about submission, you’ll

Fly up and start shouting “that’s what the Bible says”.

Oh please. Start doing what the Bible says first and maybe, just maybe we shall take you seriously.

Fix your glass house before throwing stones.

You want submission when you know nothing about loving. Lmao

It’s always about women submitting but never about men loving their lives.

You mention love and they tell you “but I provide for her.”

Right. Coz the Bible says “Love is provision.” I hear you.
