Subject: Genesis 3:16-17 |
Bible Note: Hello Azure, I can't comment on this particular C.S. Lewis book as I have never read it. What I will say regarding your translation to English is this. The issue of a husband being the head is not an idea that is effected by a man's "claiming" it; whether or not he is living up to Eph. 24:5. Rather, it is a standard ordained by God. Unfortunately, there are women who refuse to submit to God's standard based on the argument that the husband isn't living up to his responsibilities. It's just as unfortunate that so many husbands are not living up to God's standards while all the while claiming Ephesians 5:24 while failing to read and adhere to the very next verse. End the end though, each one (the husband and the wife) is responsible for obeying God because He's God, not based on how closely the other is following the command. Hope this helps, Jeff PS. I just want you to know how much I admire and respect you. First because you have proven (in my opinion) to be one who seriously considers the word of God in an honest way. Second, because you have a command of at least two languages:) And I might add that your use of the English language is better than many who claim it as their first language. |
