Re: It is mine to sacrifice...Brenna it is
Like it makes no sense to question Gods wisdom - even if we quite frequently do. We assume he knows what he is doing and has good reasons for it. I can understand (to a necessarily)limited extent the difficulties a woman may have with this. The thought of submitting to God, who is patently above her is one thing. The thought of submitting to her husband who is patently not above her is another thing. But she is only submitting to her husbands will by proxy. In reality it is God will she submits to.
Don't think, don't question just DO AS I TELL YOU. Oh, if you have a question it's because God's Wisdom is greater than yours and God told me to tell you because you aren't good enough to understand yourself. In other words I KNOW MORE THAN YOU and you are equal to me if it makes you feel better, but I'm in charge and you DO as YOU are TOLD!
Excuse while I vomit. I'm so sick of this stupid authoritarianism that people like you blindly swallow and then repeat ad nauseum. Yes, the society of the Dark Ages lives, Praise the Lord I do what the priests tell me, believe what they tell to me believe!
Rome took Christianity and built an even more controlling state then they had before and if you didn't obey in this life you got tortured and told you would be tortured by God for eternity to boot. All this is STUPID and DISGUSTING. But over a thousand years of intense social conditioning have left some many people mentally vulnerable to this.
Wake up. Look around. Get educated. Think! The church lied in order to impose authority. And now people like you just blindly accept this nonsense in order to feel secure.
