Agreed.



I would change this to "Christians" unless by saints you mean pastors too.



Agreed.



No argument here as far as the husband/wife relationship is concerned.



The rulership of the husband over the wife is a CURSE. Which means that it was not God's plan in the beginning. Christians go back to the original plan as much as possible which is the husband being the head of the wife and not that the man RULES over the woman. True Christian men practice headship not rulership. Rulership is a curse.



No, but a Christian man will try to eliminate this as much as possible for his wife in the same way that he understands that work is his curse and tries to eliminate that by using tools and other things. A Christian woman will help her husband with his work at times and he will try and lift the curse of ruler off of her. Women's lib movements see that men rule over women and hate it and try to lift the curse in the wrong way. The only way to lift the curse to any degree in this life is to live a life submitted to God.



Because the husband is the head of the wife. Men are not the head of women. Big difference or God made a big mistake in appointing Deborah over all those men in the OT.

Is a person is saint then they must be a Christian?

God said he shall be RULER over thee not me!
