Having a problem with scripture doesn't affect it's legitimacy.
This bible has asked us to turn the other cheek when slapped... Pray for our enemies, die for the word! If Prov 31 is offensive and unattainable, how can we be expected to suffer being skinned alive for the word like our brothers before us.
You can't have a problem with scriptural text. The moment you claim superiority over scripture, contradicting what it says, you challenge the authority of God.
Proverbs 31 has nothing wrong about it!
What is so abhorrent about a hard working woman?
A woman fully-given to her family?
That is the type of spouse both men women should aspire to be... Christ-like in her love and service. Irregardless of whether the other spouse deserves it or not!
When we cherry-pick scripture, we question it's legitimacy.
This was my point in the other thread. No one wants to hear from scripture! People would rather just contradict it!
Prov 31 is a woman given to her marriage... One with her husband. She invests in her marriage to the point of chipping in financially when she can. She is not 'my money is my money, my husband's money is our money'
This is one of the easier asks of scripture. We just happen to be a people sold to pride and self-importance. We can't imagine scripture being right, especially when it asks is to change WHAT we are... Lord have mercy.
Here is a divorced woman speaking on marriage. Imagine a woman mentored by this one getting married to a man mentored by your friend Kevin Samuels.
And then expect such a marriage to work.
Someone MUST first play his part and fulfil his/her part of the marriage commandment before asking God to intervene in an unhappy marriage... Independent of what the partner is doing.
The righteous requirement is heavier on the man since he is the head since whoever has much, is required much.
That's why I tell married men to take the first step and learn to love their wives unconditionally.
How shall we fulfill the commandment to love our enemies when we can't love our spouses?
Mbinguni ni mbali!
