The purpose of this article: Speaking to men-unborn! I had been writing for ages, and have no special person in mind!

M any people in Christianity will tell you that they are a believer in God, but what does it mean to be A believer? Many people in the United States Will tell you that they believe in God, actually, they have mental awareness of God, but believes in God is talking about conducting ones' lives based on the principles that are laid down in the Torah, belief in God is not talking about a mental awareness: Satan and his demons have this mental awareness and tremble. Jas 2:19 “You believe that there is one God, you do well; even the demons believe and tremble.” We need to understand that our English term for believe is different from what the scriptures is referring to as beliefs.

Belief in God is a lifestyle, and not just a mental awareness. How the bible told husband and wives to conduct themselves toward each other, is necessary for the serenity and longevity of that marriage. A smart woman will always choose a husband that she count worthy of her submission, that there will be no tug of war between her husband and herself. The scriptures told the wife to be in submission, and if she is not in submission, there is no way that man is going to be in submission also. But, what does it mean to be in submission? And when a wife is in submission, is it to her husband or to God? When I submit to my boss, it is not necessary to him, because my boss does not see all I do. I am submitting to God, who told me to be in obedience to the boss while being on the job. The boss is never there: But, he she has people that they delegate authority to.

Walking In Unbeliever And The Spirit Of Rebellian:

Gen 3:16 To the woman ( God)He said, I will greatly increase your sorrow and your conception. In pain you shall bear sons, and your desire shall be toward your husband, and he shall rule over you.

Just suppose your father gets into desperation, and want to take out a loan on his property; however, he wanted you his daughter to stand surety, for this loan! What should you do? If you have a husband, you are not under your father headship any more; accordingly, to the scripture you are now bound by the law of your husband, you should consult your husband on the matter. If your husband did not give his consent, God is not with it and it will come to naught. How can I prove this? Look at the scriptures; this is also brought over into the New Testament.

If The Husband Was Not Told Or Was Told But Disagree:

Num 30:3 If a woman also vows a vow to Jehovah, and binds herself by a bond, being in her father's house in her youth, Num 30:4 and if her father hears her vow and her bond with which she has bound her soul, and if her father is silent as to her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she has bound her soul shall stand. Num 30:5 But if her father does not allow her in the day that he hears, not any of her vows or of her bonds with which she has bound her soul shall stand. And Jehovah shall forgive her because her father did not allow her. Num 30:6 And if she had a husband when she vowed, or if she said anything rash out of her lips with which she bound her soul, Num 30:7 and if her husband heard and is silent as to her in the day that he heard, then her vows shall stand, and her bonds with which she bound her soul shall stand. Num 30:8 But if her husband did not allow her on the day that he heard it, then he shall make her vow which she vowed, and that which she uttered with her lips, with which she bound her soul, of no effect. And Jehovah shall forgive her. Num 30:9 But every vow of a widow and of her who is divorced, all which she has bound on her soul shall stand against her. Num 30:10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, or bound her soul by a bond with an oath, Num 30:11 and if her husband heard and is silent as to her, and did not forbid her, then all her vows shall stand, and every bond with which she bound her soul shall stand. Num 30:12 But if her husband has certainly broken them on the day he heard, whatever comes out of her lips concerning her vows or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not stand. Her husband has broken them. And Jehovah shall forgive her. Num 30:13 Every vow and every binding oath to afflict the soul, her husband may establish it, or her husband may break it.

1Th 4:8 "He therefore that despises us, does not despise man, but God, who has also given unto us his Holy Spirit." Every believer has the Holy Spirit in a measure when born again (Romans 8:14-16; Galatians 4:6). In fact, "if any man have not the Spirit" he does not belong to Christ (Romans 8:9). This Spirit of sonship or even some gift of the Spirit may be received without having the Spirit baptism or the fullness of the Spirit (notes on §John 3:34; Acts 1:4-8; Acts 2:4).

Submitting To One Another:

Eph 5:21 submitting yourselves to one another in the fear of God. Eph 5:22 Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands, as to 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 Savior of the body. Eph 5:24 Therefore as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything.

Barns: “Maintaining due subordination in the various relations of life. This general principle of religion, the apostle proceeds now to illustrate in reference to wives Eph_5:22-24; to children Eph_6:1-3; and to servants, Eph_6:5-8. At the same time that he enforces this duty of submission, however, he enjoins on others to use their authority in a proper manner, and gives solemn injunctions that there should be no abuse of power. Particularly he enjoins on husbands the duty of loving their wives with all tenderness Eph_5:25-33; on fathers, the duty of treating their children so that they might easily obey them Eph_6: 4; and on masters, the delay of treating their servants with kindness, remembering that they have a Master also in heaven; Eph_6:9. The general meaning here is, that Christianity does not break up the relations of life, and produce disorder, lawlessness, and insubordination; but that it will confirm every proper authority, and make every just yoke lighter. Infidelity is always disorganizing; Christianity, never.”

When Serving Man, if we ignored how God say we are interacting with them, it is God that we are disobeying and not necessarily the man.

1Pe 3:1 Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; 1Pe 3:2 While they behold your chaste conversation coupled with fear. 1Pe 3:3 Whose adorning let it not be that outward adorning of plaiting the hair, and of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel; 1Pe 3:4 But let it be the hidden man of the heart, in that which is not corruptible, even the ornament of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. 1Pe 3:5 For after this manner in the old time the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: 1Pe 3:6 Even as Sara obeyed Abraham, calling him lord: whose daughters ye are, as long as ye do well, and are not afraid with any amazement. 1Pe 3:7 Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honor unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.
