Bible Question (short): Scripturally is the man responsible? |
Question (full): Angel, thank you for the response. Yes it would be ideal that Christian husbands always do what they are supposed to do, (thus making it very easy to submit) but unfortunately they don't. If a Christian husband is not as mature a Christian as the wife they may not see error in some things that the wife would ....for example bankruptcy, or simple things like taking little things from work....or gambling....or movies that are violent...etc. When should a wife make a stand...when not? A couple could disagree all the time if the wife called him on every sin and refused to submit because it did not meet her standard of obedience to the Lord. Scripturally, is the man responsible for involving his wife in sin? |
