Re: Guilt is eating at me like a starving rat
To me this says the whole system of authority is badly out of whack! A couple years ago we were going through a section of the word (I think Ephesians) where it talked about wives submitting to husbands. But the lights came on and I saw that the administration of God's house is about love so that each member of the household got the supply they needed. This is true in both the temporal and spiritual realms. There just needs to be an order in the house, so everything is organized and everyone gets what they need. This is a matter of love primarily, and the structure is in place to facilitate that flow of love and caring.
To focus on the submitting and authority part is to miss the mark, and will result in legalism and death.
