    Women, like any other human being, submits to God. Women and men are equal but different, each bringing their own expertise to the table to make the whole. One is not superior to the other.

    In the whole scheme of things, God. I don't believe that women are supposed to be the servants of men, but I think that the Bible wants them to be willing to submit to the will of the husband.

    A part of this teaching which is often forgotten is that husbands are supposed to love their wives, and look after them. This is part of what keeps women from being something like slaves.

    So, in total, women (and men!) are supposed to submit to God, and wives should also submit to their husbands.

    A woman should 'submit' only to the workings of her own mind. The notion that women are subservient to any man is an antique lie that is accepted today by very few educated women. Understandably. It does not apply in the 21st century, which, just in case the rampaging fundies do not know, is the century we are in.

    That's like asking whether Christians are suppose to submit to legitimate human authority (Rom 13:1) or to God. Or like whether children are suppose to submit to parents or to God.

    Here's a thought - both and!

    Single women are supposed to submit to God and to their father and mother if they are still in the house. After they leave the house they are to honor their father and mother and submit to God. When they get married they are to submit to God and to their husbands who are supposed to be under Christ Jesus and love their wives as they love their own bodies, dwelling with their wives according to wisdom.

    The is a comprehensive rule here: "There is no obedience to creation in disobedience to creator."

    Women submit to God

    Know they will be reward for every second that they wear Hijab, for the food they cook etc. If you work this all out there is more reward being a woman than being man.

    Well, in Christianity, both are required. Obviously we are all to submit to God, both the wife and husband. But the wife is to submit herself unto her husband (1peter 3:1).

    According to Abrahamic tradition, men are women's connection to God. They are to submit to their man.

    Any self-respecting woman would denounce this tradition.

    Ray, you're apologetically lying.
