Before I start, I'll have you know I consider myself a devout mormon. In the past general conferences, the general authorities have brought up the subject that men and women are equal in all things. I believe they are equal in the eyes of God. But in marriage, God definately put one in greater authority. Scriptures in the new testament hint at this: 1 Corinthians 11:8+9, 1 Corinthians 14:34+35, and Ephesians 5:22+23+24. This last scripture compares Husband and Wife to Christ and the church which clearly puts one above the other in authority if not pretty much everything. Why then, does it seem like the church officials almost seem to accuse all the bretheren of unrighteous dominion over their wives? When they say that the wives are equal to the husbands in family decision and even all things, I believe this is something Paul would not have us believe. I believe this leads to insubordinate women and femenism in the church. Anybody think so?
