Obedience Is The Most Consequential Vow Of All

I don't understand what the issue is with obedience. A woman obeys God's word. A woman obeys her father when she was in his house. A woman obeys the law of the land. A woman obeys her brother if her father is missing. So why is it such a deal for a woman to obey her husband.

Her father 'gave' her to him, to be of 'his' house from that day forward. A woman takes his name, to be of 'his' name from that day forward. A woman bears 'his' children, to raise and care for and bring up to be God fearing and render obedience to their father. A woman accepts marriage, thus accepting that her husband is her Lord on earth as Jesus is her Lord in Heaven. Obedience is the virtue by which a marriage is cemented.

Image a disobedient wife. Just imagine. What would that house be? Her children? It's unconscionable to be disobedient to your husband. Disobedience is an insult to the man of the house, Lord of his realm. It is his hand that you follow. It is under his roof that you live. It is his name that you honor. It his protection that you seek. A husband is not to be taken lightly, if is only with the permission of your father that you move to your husband's house.

No ma'am, if you are a disobedient wife I do not want anything to do with you. For you have broken the most consequential vow of all. It is you husband that must render account to God Almighty. Be ever thankful for your father, for your brother, and be ever thankful for your husband. For without a husband you cannot be a wife.

Women are not property for men to control. The Bible should instead be called the Goat Herder's Guide to the Universe. It's long since become irrelevant. The early church leaders (a bunch of non-white guys) added lots of text to the copied fragments of manuscripts, all with the intent of control over others.

"God's word" - give it a rest. It's just a book written by some men who spent too much time in the desert sun, trying to control others with fear.

Our lives are short. Don't waste yours by being a faithful servant who thinks there's a reward in heaven. There isn't. That's just part of the con.

Grow up and look around you. Live for yourself and hold your head up.

I agree with the previous commenter. Unless you are a follower of a medieval religion adult women do not answer to their father, their brother or obey their husband or any other male. Even in the partnership of marriage both partners enter into it as equals, and any rational modern man will not want otherwise. Men and women will often bring differing skills and have differing roles in that partnership but still contribute on equal terms. Some responsibilities may be delegated to one or the other and that individual will need to show leadership in that area but never should there be a straight gender superiority or inferiority.

Clearly there are more appropriate places to spread your biblical BS!?
