Answering A Question

I was once asked by a classmate from my old school why I loved a God who was sexist, of course this girl was an Atheist like the everyone else in today day, because what’s good is bad and what is bad is good in today’s society but that’s for another blog. This girl was talking about the bible text in Ephesians 5: 21-23 and it says “Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ. Wives, submit to your husband’s as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior.”

I am the oldest in my house by three years of age, my little brother is 14 but my entire life he has had more freedom than me and even now that I am almost 18 I can’t go anywhere without him because my parents think he will protect me and in reality even though he is only 14 he is much taller than I am and a lot stronger and much less implosive than I. This is exactly what God our loving father does, he puts a man in front of every woman to protect, to calm down, to even ground us and bring us back to reality. This of course only works if the man is a devoted love of God and lets Christ be his head.

Women are known for gossiping, twisting words, and over reacting and any truthful women will say that are one point or another they can be blamed for such a thing, I know I have. Now men are normally not known for these attributes they are mostly known for being much calmer and blind to a lot of the things women would notice in an instance. I enjoy having best friends that are guys rather than girls because they don’t care what you wear or what you like as opposed to girls who care way too much about stupid little things. Which is what makes men and women so different and why men were placed there for us by God to protect us, calm us down and point out when we are wrong.

It isn’t about women being stupid or weak it’s just about the perfect balance of life and always having someone strong and to help you. And like Ephesians 5: 25 reads “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her” He isn’t trying to be little us but protect us.
