Is this what happened to his marriage? Pastors should stick to the word of GOD and stop including additions of their own...yes the husband is the head of the house but master? is the woman the slave or servant?..

Pavore9:


Your post l quoted tied the husband's authority to the fact he is paying the bills and the woman should reciprocate with submission, In the family unit, everyone has a role they ease into. I grew up knowing issues my father has a final decisions on and the ones my mother has the last word. Though my mum was a strongly opinionated person it did not distort the family's essence rather it strengthened it.

Couples have their unique ways of handling the issue of submission.

Lol. I didn't read the wrong passage. I've actually read the whole bible and a lot of verses seemed against women. Those "men" are actually speaking on behalf of God. God himself never really spoke much in the bible.
And by men this time, I mean Paul. Check out these verses

1st corinthians 14: 34 & 35;
then chapter 11 as well

MrPresident1:
A good marriage is the perfect master-servant relationship, there can not be two captains on a ship. The man is the head of the house, in Hausa he is Maigida meaning owner of the house, in Yoruba he is Iba-ile meaning father of the house, in Igbo he is Nnaanyi meaning our father.

The old word from husbondi from which husband is derived means Master of the house.

Any woman who is not ready to submit to the law of the man she wants to marry should not ever ever consider getting married. The master of the wife must love his wife to the extent of being able to put down his life for her. This is the model of marriage presented by Christ.

Smh..some people sef,and what part of it doesn't make sense? Just a simple sermon and yal twisting and blowing it out of proportion . He is only trying to say don't be dragging shoulders with your husband simple,so what's bringing slave issue here?

This is why alot of women are still single and others having issues in their homes or broken marriages. It's a simple advice so women should either take it or leave it,but one thing is sure,there are consequences and a price to pay for every decision made, especially bad decissions, any woman who thinks her husband cannot be above her should definitely be ready for the consequences of her actions. He who has ears let him hear.

Chubhie:

Our good ole African traditions and her women ain't complaining. You should take your atheists campaign to the grassroots and try your luck.

WindUpMerchant:
tf is wrong with you Valerie? you know some words have various meaning. and contextually we aint talking of master like massa-servant but master as in leader!

Twaci:
Hey Merchant. All I am trying to say is; We are to be submissive to our husbands, yes but that's not to be forced upon us like choiceless slaves.

We are to love and respect our husbands out of our own violation. We may not be equal with our husband but our opinions and suggestions should be acknowledged and respected.

A marriage is a union not a master-slave relationship as the pastor have painted it to be.

So if you are not the boss in the organization where you work, you are a slave?

The only wise thing from the showman of vain aesthetics!

I have often said it, the 21st century woman is a she-man, an educated fool who lacks wisdom.

Telemundo, soap operas and western movies have become their role model of marital relationship even with the high rates of divorce in western land.

KingCheezyPuff:
He spoke plenty.
But you need 2 understand that every word some was not his.
Sometimes it was the belif of the people of that time
••••••
And yes men spoke on his behalf at rimes but what n you send a message through some1 it doesn't always get relayed properly.
•••••
Nevertheless the passages you speak of are the belief of the people.
Not the words if the Great Creater.

KingCheezyPuff:
no. Op used that particular word for a reason. He meant no leader.
Which by the way are 2 different things.

Says who.. You wey dem born yesterday? This annointed man has been preaching since his childhood days. Held his first crusade at age 15. Where were you then? He has every right to talk to the church worldwide cos he is annointed and commisioned to do so.

By the way, are you married?

ifenes:
Unfortunately 90% of men need guidians themselves. How can a woman be submissive to an abuser,drunk and manipulator? Religion is a curse indeed.

He spoke the truth.

I don't like him but he spoke the truth, sad and brutal in its honesty.

p1jiobi:
Pastor Chris is right. When someone is responsible for your feeding clothing housing etc. That individual is your master period. Women who enjoy their marriage are playing to this rule

pippimp:


So, your definition and interpretation of leader and partner is master? Guy, you will not survive in an organised society/company with that kind of mentality. Just so you know, whatever you call a thing is the way you treat it. When you have a master, you will have a slave/subject.

frank317:
says a man who cannot handle his wife. This man has no right to teach anything on marriage issues

This is what you wrote below

" because he is a man of God doesnt mean he
can't be wrong "


I don't care how long he's been preaching or pastoring but the man clearly wrote something and backed it up with relevant verses from the holy bible which none of those criticizing him ever refute or says are not from the bible.


If you are a Christian and believed in that holy book I believe everything therein should be sacred but from the response from the women folks here , they will rather go with westernised form of equal marriage as against the preaching of the holy book and our own culture.


I personally have know problem with equal rights in marriage but any woman bringing that to my home must be ready to practice that equal right 100% . you can't eat your cake and still have. Its either we live responsibly together or we all go haywire.

KingCheezyPuff:
it's sad you don't believe God is Good and would NEVER discriminate.

KingCheezyPuff:
I see. You are of the same mind. Then you are no better and no woman should shackle herself 2 ether of you.
Unless she like domination and oppression

computerboy:


Who told you? I'm not an atheist but whenever I debate about religion, I like to be objective. I raised those verses you said "men" wrote because funny enough that's the verses they use in marriage counseling in most churches. Apostle Paul was actually talking about marriages in those chapters

eyinjuege:


What of women who are feeding their husbands and children?, paying the school fees, and house rent inclusive.
Do you then agree they are the Masters in their households?
Oui?
