Empty wagons make a lot of noise. Countless men (only God knows the exact number) come to CC and rant about women's roles.
How are they empty? They rant about women's roles, but they know and write so little about men's roles. They conveniently fail to acknowledge that MOST (not all, but MOST) of the virtues, duties and verses that THEY label as "Women's Roles" apply to men also because the Bible was NOT written to, for or about women only. The Bible was written to, for and about BOTH men & women.
For example, consider
1 Peter 3:1-6:
1 Peter 3:1 - they may be WON over …
Won refers to soul winning and/or winning a brother or sister in Christ out of sinful behavior (restoration): Pro 11:30,
1 Cor 9:19-20, Mat 18:15.
Soul winning and/or restoring our brothers and sister who are caught in sin is part of the Christian lifestyle. Husbands should do it too. They aren’t exempt.
1 Peter 3:2 - when they see the PURITY
Being pure is part of the Christian lifestyle. Husbands should do it too. They are not exempt. 1 John 3:3, 1 Tim 1:5, 1 Pet 1:22, Jam 1:27, Jam 4:8.
Some translations use CHASTE instead of purity. In the New Testament, both men and women are commanded to be chaste:
1 Thes 4:1-8, 1 Cor 7:1-5, Col 3:5, Ephesians 5:3, Heb 13:4, 1 Cor 6:18, Rom 13:13-14, 2 Tim 2:22, 1 Pet 2:11.
1 Peter 3:2 - when they see the REVERENCE
Both men and women are instructed to reverence God: 1 Sam 12:24, Acts 9:31, Ecc 8:12, Heb 12:28, Psa 2:11.
Ok
1 Peter 3:4 - GENTLE
In that same chapter, after Peter instructs wives to have a gentle and quiet spirit, he instructs ALL Christians to be gentle to others: 1 Peter 3:15.
Eph 4:2, Phil 4:5, Tit 3:2, Col 3:12, Gal 6:1
Paul practiced gentleness: 2 Cor 10:1.
Jesus is gentle: Mat 11:29.
Gentleness is a fruit of the spirit: Gal 5:22.
1 Peter 3:4 - QUIET
Both men and women are instructed to be quiet: Ecc 3:7, Jam 1:19, 1 Tim 2:2, Pro 13:3, 1 T Ihes 4:11, Pro 11:12, Pro 10:19, Psa 4:4
1 Peter 3:5 - TRUST GOD
Trusting God is part of the Christian lifestyle: Pro 3:5, Ps 9:10, Ps 84:12,
Ps 37:1-3 Ps 115:11, Isa 26:4. Husbands should trust God too. They are not exempt.
1 Peter 3:6 - Sarah obeyed Abraham
Genesis 21:12 describes a time when God told Abraham to listen (Shema, Strong's 8085 - defined as obey) to his wife Sarah concerning a very important household matter.
1 Peter 3:6 - DO NOT GIVE WAY TO FEAR
Both men and women are told “do not fear.”
Joh 14:27, Phil 4:6, Mat 10:31
With that being said, I wonder if the men who rant about women's roles are winning souls, restoring others, being pure, chaste, reverent, gentle & quiet, trusting God and not being afraid. In other words, I wonder if the men who come to CC and rant about women's roles are practicing what they preach - rant about. If I consider their approach and attitude on CC, I truly doubt it.
