<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>Wilson is not the law of the land. He is not in a position to enforce his religious symbolism literally on the country. Only people that wish to follow his words do, not by force. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>There seems to be a deep sense of confusion amongst some liberals between religious symbolism and an actual judge and government forcing an 8 year old girl to marry a 40-something year old man. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>As a Christian, I believe, and my religious leaders will tell me, to honor my Mother and Father, and I willfully try to do so. However, they are not advocating that it be law that I do whatever my parents tell me to do as an adult. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I don't know Wilson theology, but I am sure he is against 8 year old girls being forced to marry and do whatever a 40 year old man tells her to do. I am sure he is also against the buying and selling of people as property. But even if he wasn't, who cares, he isn't in a position, or seeking a position, to enforce it. I am concerned with those that are being forced right now, and an ancient system of governing that is operates serious injustices against people, especially women and children. </DIV>

Wilson 101 -- Wrongly Interpreting Ephesians 5 (Nancy), which I blogged on recently. <BR><BR>Wilson's teaching that women don't have to submit to all men, just their husbands, is wielded to sound just a little bit better than "all women submit, always, to all men." But it is no less wrong, and often gives a husband the OK to overrule another male -- say, an OB/GYN -- in the name of "husband's headship over wife." <BR><BR>Bottom line -- every Christian is taught by Scripture to submit to all, to one another, to one's neighbor, etc., in mutuality and confidence, not in hierarchy and compulsion.<BR><BR>Keely<BR>http://keely-prevailingwinds.blogspot.com/<BR><BR><BR><BR><BR>> To: nielsen@uidaho.edu; Vision2020@moscow.com; donovanjarnold2005@yahoo.com<BR>> From: thansen@moscow.com<BR>> Date: Mon, 13 Apr 2009 14:59:45 +0000<BR>> Subject: Re: [Vision2020] 8 year old girl denied divorce<BR>> <BR>> Pop Quiz, Visionaires
-<BR>> <BR>> Who said:<BR>> <BR>> "We are to view our own husband as our head. Men are not the head of <BR>> women, but husbands are the head of their own wives.
