While yes, all of these things (even if taken out of context) are God's laws for mankind in order to protect man from destroying itself in sin, are we to only look at the physical effects of sin, or should we be compelled to also consider the eternal consequences of sin?

Should we not also ask, for what purpose did Christ die? Was it not to pay the penalty of sin? Was it not to pay the price for the wife who has not submitted to her husbands authority, was it not to pay for the sins of the rapist or adulterer/adulteress, the murderer? So again, while all of these things are God's judgement and laws, Christ came and paid the price already. So should we as His creation trample on that payment and continue to do these things?

Or should we as Christians in Society stand up and speak out against these things sharing with others how God who created us has already made payment for them, so that while there may be worldly consequences they we may personally face such as jail or divorce, there are also eternal consequences that have already been paid.



It is also apparent his understanding of submission is skewed, based on what he's saying he has a tyrants view of submission and that should be addressed, sharing the differences of a Hitler/Stalin/Moslem submission with a biblical view of submission expressed by the love and understanding as a partner/helpmate/equal of a wife to her husband in a marriage with different responsibilities towards the household..
