What does your church teach?

that is the trend. no man wants to be found being cued out by his wife .oh my poor brother .i could not believe how that woman of his insists that he jumps when she want's . i dont even want to go to that house.

So about a year ago my daughter told me the church her and my son-in-law go to teaches when it comes to family...
1. The husband comes first. What he says is law and should not be contested.
2. The wife comes second and should obey her husband.
3. Children come third


I said BS! You are equal to your husband and the children should come first. They didn't ask to be here, they look for guidance, for whats right and they learn by what they see/hear.

To anyone here, does your church teach children come third?
If so, why?

PS: I have no clue what church they go to .

You nailed it ─ BS pure and unadulterated.

Sounds like fringe Evangelical stuff. Most Christians don't believe such things.

any one stepping outside of this arrangement. humm, who would that be ?? would that be satan !? the similarity is uncannily similar

Ergo, if Christ is God, He is His own head.

Whatever head produced that, could not possibly have been the head of a woman.

I was taught - as a child, in a Catholic school - that children were first, not last, in the eyes of God.

Luke 18:16-17

Mark 9:36-37

Matthew 18:10

Etc...

does the word ''head '' not fit into your description of head of a family. or does that imply someone thats a controller ,the one that the rest of the family answers to that bothers you?

1) Honor God
2) Submit to/work closely with spouse
3) Honor Parents
4) Children come fourth

Children then respond to these prompts and model them.

Well, tell me. If God is the head of Christ, and Christ is God, then it flows immediately that God is His (or is it Their?) own head.
If that makes sense to you, be my guest.

your math is wrong even contradictory . Jesus is not God . the bible says many times that he is the Son of God. a subordinate

My Church teaches that everyone is a Child of God. There should be no hierarchy or power struggle. Jesus made himself servant under everyone even though he was God. There are specific roles that we need to help each other with and a leader and teacher is one of them for protection and for guidance, but that doesn't mean what you say goes. It means what you say is to protect your family from sin and danger. This role is given but is not limited to men for many reasons. Biologically we have to support the opposite sex. As to age, we have to teach love to our children as we would want growing up ourselves. This is the way.

the bible teaches that a man should be willing to sacrifice his life for his wife and children. He must be loving, kind and generous. He must work hard for his family to provide for their spiritual and physical needs. The bible is very clear that a man has a huge responsibility on his shoulders and he must love his wife as he does his own body.

It also teaches that when he makes a decision, he must make a decision that will benefit the entire family, not just himself.

While it does ultimately put the responsibility of decision making on his shoulders, he must take his wife's feelings and preferences into account. If his decisions are detrimental to her and her children, then God will hold him accountable.


Yes, men and women are equal in standing before God. But a woman is to support her husband as he makes important decisions for the family. Yes she is allowed to have a say in those decisions, but it is the man who is held accountable before God for those decisions and this is why the bible says that a wife must obey her husband. He is the one who gets in trouble if things go wrong, so if she charges ahead and does things that turn out bad for the family, then he is the one held accountable for that.

Sorry but its BS!
Children should come first and be priority.
After all they didn't ask to be here.
As far as the husband and wife, they should be equals, not he is better or comes first.
