I don't speak the original language, but you "kind of" seem to "mistranslate" something there.
In case you're in doubt about the Bible's position on women, here's something to refreshen your memory.
You will note that Paul observed the 7th day Sabbath for one and one half years, implying that, after that, he did not. The spoken of are "Judaizers," so of course they would have wanted to celebrate Shabbat on the 7th day. It's well-known that the proto-church continued to meet in the temple...
Paul, the Apostle on the Ten Commandments in the life of the biblical Christian:
The TEN COMMANDMENTS...
[01.] For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,) [1 Corinthians 8:5] But to us [there is but] one God, the Father, of...
How did Paul feel about the Ten Commandments, the Law, in other places?
“...Honour thy father and mother; (which is the first commandment with promise; ) [Ephesians 6:2]
“...the law [is] good, if a man use it lawfully ...” [1 Timothy 1:8;p]
“For if I build again the things which I destroyed...
Please do not be offended by anything i say as non of it meant to be confrontational however, i am just typing it out as it comes to and i am asking these questions out of genuine curiosity. I apologize in advance if anything offends you

I once heard a joke...
A husband said to his wife, "I am the head of this family."
The wife replied, "You are the head, but I am the neck."
Do you get it?
The head can't function without the neck.
Although we can look at that in a positive way, as the two cooperating, the wife had in mind, that...
Thanks for all of the answers. You are very kind to take the time to explain your views to me but I do have a few more questions for you.
What about these passages?
Colossians3:18 “Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord.”
Ephesians 5:22-24 “Wives, submit...
That just convinces me that I can't be a Christian. As a woman of God, I know that God never tells me to be quiet or submit to anyone except God and those God chooses which can be men or women. I agree with the Archbishop of Canterbury that God is non-binary. God’s gender? Not male, or female...
Well then, what about:
Ephesians 5:22-24
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to...
Bit confusing for my husband and I however. We can't figure out who is supposed to submit, so we work together for our mutual benefit. I know, it's not biblical, but hey, it works for us.
Nope, Particularly in light of:
Ephesians 5:22
Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord.
Colossians3:18
Wives, submit to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.
1 Peter 3:1-22
Likewise, wives, be subject to your own husbands,
Ephesians 5:22-24
Wives, submit to your own husbands...
Saved By Faith is Pauline and used to keep the masses in line and sending money up the chain. NDE is also Pauline, see below.

When an alien resides with you in your land, you shall not oppress the alien. The alien who resides with you shall be to you as...
The Bible does not endorse the kind of patriarchy you are suggesting, which is the same kind of false patriarchal teachings espoused by modern day false teachers as Bill Gothard, Doug Philips (which have both fallen from their self-exatled positions) and others who twist the scriptures for their...
1 Corinthians 11
Ephesians 5: 22-24
Colossians3:18
1 Thessalonians 4:4
1 Timothy 2
Titus 2: 4,5
and I can go on and on. Tell me again that the Bible doesn't endorse a patriarchal system.
Just wondering what others' thoughts might be regarding this article

Actually, that passage in Colossians was one of the specific passages that I had in mind.
I was also thinking of that passage - I can’t remember the chapter and verse offhand - “the man is the head of the woman as Christ is the head of the church.”
I really did have Christianity in mind when...
I’m sorry, I apparently misunderstood. I thought that you were against marriage....that you thought marriage was an oppressive, woman-ownership, breeding arrangement. But you’re saying that’s a religious definition? Maybe the Koran? Certainly not the Bible’s! Ephesians 5:25-33, Ephesians 4:32, 1...
