The Absurd Biblical Counsel On Marriage by Akiintom: 9:44am On Aug 12, 2018
Part one:

The absurd biblical counsel on marriage!

I welcome you all today's fellowship in the name of God, the father of our lord Reason, who freely gave us the spirit of common sense without measure. To God be all the glory and adoration, amen. Today, will shall be looking at one of the biblical absurdities, as it concerns marriage.

Please open your Bible and let's read together, 1......, 2...go��

Eph 5:22 Wives, SUBMIT yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the LORD

Eph 5:23 For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.

Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is SUBJECT unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in EVERYTHING.

The operative words are:

submission (Noun)
1. the action of accepting or yielding to a superior force or to the will or authority of another person.

Head:
Director, Leader: such as
a : Headmaster
b : one in charge of a division or department in an office or institution.

eg: the head of the English department · met with the other department heads

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome once said:
................................................................................................................................................
"When you say you are marrying a man, you are coming under his authority. The Bible says, the man is the head of the woman (1 Corinthians 11:3) so when you marry him you come under his authority, you are not authority sharers even though you are both heirs to the kingdom of God.

When you decide not to subject yourself to that authority, you are a rebel and God is not going to accept what you are doing because you are not functioning correctly. Why did God make the woman?

Making woman was not God’s original plan because after God created Adam and before He made Eve, He said in Genesis 1:31 “Then God looked over all he had made, and he saw that it was very good”. God made woman because of man so woman was not His original idea. This is reality".
................................................................................................................................................
Just before we proceed, i like to remind you that of all the Gods created by humans, Yahweh appears to be the most ridiculously asininic and utterly nauseating. An evidence of that, is the above excerpt from Chris.

Yahweh demands that you make deliberate effort, to suppress and deny the normal functions of your senses, if you desire to worship it. You must behave without and against rational reasons, to be acceptable as its saint. It's on this basis, that your admittance to paradise is guaranteed.

Yahweh demand that you behave in such a way that your liberty, freedom of choice and pursuit of peace and happiness, are exchanged for religious practices that bear no benefits, as far as human experience is concerned. You're to deny your father, mother, wife, children, friends etc, of love, affection and compassion, if you must serve Yahweh. You must accept that some people are your enemies and you must pray evil against them or ask Yahweh to visit them with misery.

You must submit to this authority of Yahweh. Submission demands that you obey whatever (rational or irrational) it asked you to do. Remember, Yahweh told prophet Ezekiel to bake cake with feces and eat it. Again, Jesus once said that you shouldn't take responsibility for your life, but leave that to Yahweh.

It's this this nature of submission, that the Bible demand from wives to their husband. According to the Bible (as quoted above), the wives must submit to their husbands in EVERYTHING, just as submission to Yahweh is total. The husband is called an authority or force.

Like the the university authority, that can unilaterally(or override other stakeholders) increase school fees, compel dress code, restrict movement, ban associations etc. The husband has authority to increase the burden of the wife, by not helping out with any chores. He can command the wife to unfriend her friends, demand that she stop wearing trousers, jewelry etc.

The husband can command sex, even when the woman isn't disposed. The husband can stay off condom, but demand that wife go on pills. He can decide to have the number of kids he wishes, without the consent of the wife. The list of primitive and animalistic cravings granted the husband under the biblical "authority", over the wife is endless.

What manner of authority is this brethren! That two humans (husband and wife) who have functional brains, be set against each other, as if the wife is a slave or robot. The very reason therefore, that the rate of divorce, tumultuous and extremely dysfunctional marriage relationship is ever increasing amongst the Christians.

The Christians women (singles and married) are now "woke" (possessed by spirit of rebellion and "arrogance"wink and either outrightly rejecting these biblical commands or using Feminist version of the Bible, that clearly have no such verses (remember that some verses found in King James are not found in some other Bible version).

Now you know why Christian ladies who have been praying for "marital settlement" are not settled. They are not ready to marry a man of "authority". Some of will rather cleave to atheists, than "authority brother".

To be continued.........

It was all balanced when God instruct men to love their wives. Submission to the man and love to the woman...that is deep!

You know not the scriptures. The love of husband is conditional on the submission of the wife in EVERYTHING.

If the wife doesn't submit on the condition of the whims and caprices of the husband, she shall be called a satanic wife and be treated as such.

Just like your God, its love for you is conditional on your TOTAL submission to all the absurdities it commanded you.

Oga stop mis interpreting d bible. In eph 5:21, it said submit to one another before admonishing wives to submit to husbands and husbands to love wives as Christ love church by dying for it. And stated also that for that reason, a man should leave his mum n dad and join with his wife to become one. That no one will hate his own flesh.

Verse 21 wasn't talking to couple, but to believers. If your misunderstanding of verse 21 were to be true, why will command to the wife to submit to the husband in everything, come up, having commanded mutual submission?

You know not the scriptures. It's a book of absurdities! Go figure!

. Wives should submit to their husbands while husbands must love their wives. If as a man you love your wife then you must do things to please her.if as woman you love your husband then you must respect him. By submitting to your husband you can easily ask anything from him. By loving your wife she can easily show respect.
