That is what some here may be calling for. The husband has final decision and that's it. What he says goes. That is not at all who I am and will never be. You mentioned that where the head goes the body follows, yet, you never said that the wife would be the head, yet at times she will sure be...

No, I am rejecting your interpretation. Not every male falls into this cookie cutter model that you have. I certainly do not. I will never be the leader that you seem to interpret the Bible says I need to be. It will never happen. Also, you think I am going to listen to some anonymous person...

BTW, something I have yet to mention, we have talked with our pastors at our Episcopal church and they have said they see nothing wrong with how our marriage will be. They have also said that all marriages are different and there is no one cookie cutter way to run one.

I am rejecting your interpretation of the Bible. I am rejecting what you are calling truth, not the truth itself. Not sure if you realized by now, no matter what you say, I won't be changing my mind. I know who I am and what I am capable of, not you. Being a leader in a marriage the way you...

My thinking isn't flawed.

Thank you for your opinion, it is duly noted and fully rejected. Our marriage will be how we, her and I, agree it should be, not what some anonymous person on a forum thinks it should be based on their interpretation of the Bible.

I like this post and can agree with what you're saying. Maybe I do lead by example, although there are some that say I am a poor example. I will never force my will on my wife. I will never say my decision is final if she doesn't agree with something. As I said above, I have no drive or desire...

Perhaps that isn't your call, now is it? If my fiance and I have talked about this and we agree to what I have stated above, then what you say matters not. It isn't also that I am not willing to be a leader, I am not a leader in any sense. I have no drive or desire or need to be one. It simply...

I disagree and said why above. If a relationship works without submission and brings glory to God, it doesn't matter how that relationship works. At most I will agree to mutual submission and so would she. However, I am not a leader and never will be. It just isn't who I am and never will be...

Yeah, no thanks. I am a man without requiring submission. Nor am I weak because I'm not a leader. Nor will anyone tell me otherwise!

I just asked my girlfriend to marry me. So, we have talked about this very thing. I am not a leader, never have been and never will be. It's just not who I am. I have no aspirations of power or wanting power in a relationship. Again, not who I am. With that said, our relationship is one of...

You really cannot. They are all translations and not the source material. It is still a false equivalency.

This is a false equivalency. You cannot compare the KJB to modern versions, itself being a translation just like they are and it not being the source material. So, I deny your position based on that alone.

You completely missed the point of my post. I'm not talking about italicized words. You have a double standard.

So, it's okay for you to do it, but not others. So it's okay that God changed words and added words to the KJV, but when it comes to modern versions, they are now corrupt according to you. Talk about your double standards!

I generally wonder the same in regards to you.

Are you speaking of me?

And anyone looking for the devil will usually find him in everything.

Means nothing. Dog is God spelled backwards. Are dogs God?

I still reject your post/opinion and whether you want to believe it or not, your interpretation. You are still interpreting them, even if you deny it. God allows us to eat meat and ate meat Himself. Scripture has been provided to prove that. As I have said to the other poster. If you don't...
