Why do some men quote scriptures in the Bible relating to women being submissive?

but never quote the scripture where God says that men are to love their wives as God loves the church. Let’s not forget that Christ died for the church. Seems like beam in the eye syndrome.
I do agree that women must know there place and where God has put us, I have no problem being second in command, as long as the man knows his role. But a lot of Christian men don’t, they just know that women are suppose to be submissive without understanding how we are to be treated.
So you do agree that women shouldn’t speak in church then?
Or do you just pick and choose? I have no problem with people who say “oh, I follow what Jesus said, not what Paul said”, but to follow some of the things Paul said but not the others, that’s hypocrisy.
Simple, they can’t take it when a woman can stand up to them.
Stay away from such men… Any human who uses Scripture like a psychopath would use a hammer is at their core, unethical. A carpenter, and a true Christian knows how scripture is to be used. To build, not to break. To create, not to destroy.
Just human nature to look at the other persons faults and not our own. Like God says, we are all sinners.
These are usually the same men who FAIL to quote the scripture that says:
“Wives be submissive. Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave his life for it.”
According to Paul, the role of a husband in a marriage is to guard it and it’s sanctity and health with his life, if necessary.
What men are you hanging out with? That is not what God said in genesis, He made woman man’s help meet so she is equal to men in every judgement and aspect to include the family business.
If you are around those types of guys, just run, they have no concept of the wisdom of God when it comes to loving and respecting women. don’t subject yourself to that school of thought or that kind of man.
“Seems like beam in the eye syndrome.”
hahaha! sounds like you have you idea what your undead lord and savior meant by that. it’s saying that you shouldn’t call someone out on something when you’re just as bad. as i don’t subjugate women… yeah you have no idea what you’re on about.
further, the quran commands muslims to love their wifes, but also says they can lightly beat them, so commandments to love mean nothing.
Because loving your wife like a church sounds too impersonal. There’s no way you could ever sleep with your church, you’d respect it too much. Men are all about sex and when they quote the submissive sections, they really are talking about a woman being submissive in bed. Not church.
The have nothing better to do
Because those men, may read the the scriptures but they do not have the understanding of them and most likely they ignore the part about the husband/men role. They try to use the scriptures to their advantage, especially to a woman who doesn’t have full understanding of the scriptures. The husband is suppose to love his wife as Christ loved the church. That doesn’t mean for the guy to be lazy, or controlling and etc. It means to love your wife as yourself and to provide for her every need. It means to lose yourself (or to be unselfish) in order to make your wife happy. The wife should also love back in the same way, but also resting and letting the make the important decisions without thinking that he may not know best, I’m not saying let him make all the decisions but to workout the decisions together. Love works together it is not set against one another. Most men just want to be selfish and in control. I hoped this helped. Good Luck
Because they are inherently wimps and can’t rise above their mediocre status and to control anyone they have to shove them below their own status.
