“I Submit To My Husband”- Michelle Bachmann


“I Submit To My Husband”- Michelle Bachmann

It's been a little over a week ago since I have caught the clip of the nightly news where I listened to and viewed amongst many boos from the audience of a Presidential debate, heard Ms. Michelle Bachmann state; “ I submit to to husband.” She really seemed to gain a lot of undue attention not only from the Press Corp that day and for many days after, but she also that day got clobbered for her statement by the Feminists, Christian haters and all people like them. A few days later It seems Ms. Bachmann had a quick recovery and appeased many of her critics when she clarified her original sort of/kind of Biblical Scripture quote as meaning that only; couples “should have mutual respect.”

Call me a “stickler” for the need for proper Biblical interpretation and investigation and correction(I am after all, an ordained Christian Minister) and I also realize that there are going to be those that no matter what the Bible declares, and because of their own dilemma with fighting the flesh(sin) they will never agree with me or the Bible, but Michelle Bachmann I want to make the point Biblically, that Ms. Bachmann is only partially correct in her statement about her original statement regarding “submission.” Also, this applies as well regarding her sort of “recanting” and clarification statement that she meant “mutual respect” in a marriage.

To take a good look at where she is correct and indeed wrong will require us looking at the Bible as compared to Michelle Bachmann's religious belief system. Let's start with her religious belief system shall we ?… Ms. Bachmann's religious beliefs It would come from and to be until recently, to be that of a Lutheran doctrine as Ms. Bachmann and her husband attended a Lutheran Church. How much Bible training and or equipping can a person get at a Lutheran Church one might ask ? Depending on which Lutheran Church would be the correct answer. Many Lutheran Churches in the Untied States are “left leaning” in their theological beliefs to say the least. Some of the Lutheran leadership are calling for the allowance of homosexual marriage as an example. The Bible is said to be a guide in the ELCA website for all Lutherans (http://www.elca.org/What-We-Believe/Statements-of-Belief/ELCA-Confession-of-Faith.aspx), but who is interpreting the Bible in it's original Greek, Aramaic and Hebrew language Text as well as sociological context can make a big difference between “doctrinal spin” and Biblical Truth. That also applies to those of the Lutheran Church belief system of course.

I have met some very good, Lutheran church attending Christians over the years and want to make it quite clear here, that I am not turning this blog into a “anti-Lutheran”(or anti-Bachmann) site but I do want the truth to be told. This is especially true when some politician blurts out about a Bible verse to the public and or the press. Now I do know that Ms. Bachmann and her husband left their Lutheran church after many years of attending-it made the headlines in the press. Apparently in a political move to gain Roman Catholic voters, Ms. Bachmann made a decision to leave the Lutheran Church based on a statement made by a Lutheran priest regarding the Roman Catholic's Pope . It was reported that a Lutheran priest made a statement that the Catholics Pope's decision making is as compared to the anti-christ. Ms. Bachmann disputes that the Pope's decisions are like that or should be compared to the anti-christ in any way, shape or form. The specific claim Michelle Bachmann claims are the statement made by a Wisconsin Evangelical Lutheran Synod to mean something else however.
What ever the claim may be, Ms. Bachmann made a clear choice to leave her long held theological stance to gain voters from an entirely different theological and religious belief. I believe she did the same thing when she talked about her “submitting” to her husband, then turned the matter into something else, all to appease the electorate and that is a problem. This complicates the whole “submission” matter as Roman Catholicism rarely agrees with “Protestant” dogma as well. See Roman Catholic beliefs of marriage; http://catholicism.about.com/od/beliefsteachings/p/Sac_Marriage.htm

Now to look at the Bible and all this stuff about a wife submitting to her husband, we must look at the Bible passage as it was written and why it was written. However, let's first read that the Bible teaches us that (2 Timothy 2:16-17) “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” That being said now lets move on to the key verse of what many feminists and God haters shun and object and look at what the Bible says about “submission” in marriage: In Ephesians 5:22-24 the Bible states clearly “ Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is head of the wife, as also Christ is head of the church; and He is the Savior of the body. Therefore, just as the church is subject to Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything. “

Now I know that members of the Feminist elite including witches, members of NARAL and NOW are after reading this, all having their hair stand up on the back of their necks, but it is important as some would be surprised for a Christian to do, that we read on about husbands as well in Ephesians 5:22 and then addressing rules for wives as well as husbands in verse 33.... “Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself for her, that He might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that He might present her to Himself a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish. So husbands ought to love their own wives as their own bodies; he who loves his wife loves himself. For no one ever hated his own flesh, but nourishes and cherishes it, just as the Lord does the church. For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 'For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.' This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let each one of you in particular so love his own wife as himself, and let the wife see that she respects her husband.”

You see, after reading the Bible scriptures, Michelle Bachmann got it partially correct, but her later “clarification” like as her political move to leave her church which was to appease an entirely different religion, was all said and made to minimize her Biblical role as a wife and her Biblical responsibility to her husband. In other words, Ms. Bachmann was trying to play “both ends against the middle.” She wanted to appease both the “evangelical” Christian voters as well as the feminists(that's gonna catch up with her in the long run !). I will tell you all that I seen right through her political maneuver like it was yesterday's underwear and you know what that smells like ! The shame of twisting around God's Word to mean different things to different people when all along, God said what He meant, and meant what He said. Can you say “ Money Hungry TV Evangelist” ???? Bingo !

After counseling many in couples or marriage, I often ask this question to both husband and wife; “Who is in charge of the marriage ?” Some women respond with “ my husband”, other wives respond with “women”, while some wives stay very quiet. When it comes to asking that same question of husbands, some “meat head” men will jump up with a loud demeaning and demanding voice stating; "that's Me !” While some men try to appease their wives while in the same counseling session with them and state “well, it should be 50/50.” But the Biblically correct answer to who is “in charge” of the marriage and family is(are you ready ???) is Jesus ! Yes, that's right ! Jesus and that means that if you follow the cross of Christ, wives and husbands both will follow the cross of Jesus and never of themselves ! You can easily find the relationship to one another so much better when you submit to Jesus as he instructed us all in Luke 9:23 “Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.” A burden to bear ? no doubt, but wives are indeed to submit to their husbands. Not in the of being a slave to a man or husband, no not at all ! It is a loving submission of both husband and wife to Jesus. If there is love, there is respect and if there is respect, the submission of a wife to her husband is willing and much easier for her. Bottom line though is, if a woman married a man, Christian or not, if he chooses to stay married to her, other than adultery, a wife must submit to her husband and remain married/faithful to him.

So next time when a politician blurts out a Bible verse that perhaps makes your “skin crawl”, or when someone boos a politician for quoting Bible scripture, find out what the Bible scripture truly means before you agree with the hecklers.

May I finally say to all husbands(so the wives don't feel to “picked on”), if you really love Jesus, you not only would take the time to make your own sandwich, you'd make your wife one also and serve her always first. Remember all, the cross of Christ ! You O man will be held responsible for how you treated your wife and family because God designed you O man to not only lead, but also to follow-Follow the example of Christ !

“About Face !”

“About Face !”

To all our current United States military personnel, it's time you came home. I cannot emphasize this notion or ask you in any stronger way then to shout out an order from “We The People” then …. “About Face !” You are needed here at home. There is a very important mission for all of you in the United States Of America. The name of your mission is not top secret nor does it require any sort of government clearance for knowing it's logistics or plan of operation. The task is simple but requires a great deal of discipline and hard work as well as dedication. Are you up and ready to meet the challenge ? If you are, the name of the mission is called “Project U.S. Constitution.” Here it is in a “nut shell”;“ Project U.S. Constitution” is perhaps your biggest calling to duty yet. It is a direct order to follow what you have already sworn an allegiance to do, so don't be concerned of being labeled anything such as being “unpatriotic”, “rebellious” or “illegal.” You are already serving our great nation in heroic fashion but while you are dedicated to you job, many of our current government leaders have gone “rogue” and are purposely violating many of our U.S. Constitutional rights hurting, even killing innocent American Citizens in the USA and abroad. We need your help in getting help, protection and our rights back.

There was a report that was leaked out one year ago in that up to 25% of U.S. Marines would shoot a United States Citizen if ordered to do so and I can hardly believe that it is even true but watch the video http://video.godlikeproductions.com/video/25_Of_Marines_Would_Shoot_Americans_100_Of_Oath_Keepers_Would_Shoot_Them_Back_12 I find it difficult to believe that especially a United States Marine would follow such an unconstitutional order. We The People are knowledgeable enough to see there are those amongst our U.S. Military, that no matter what proof we provide, that some would have a difficult time distinguishing between right and wrong. Please know that if you are a member of our U.S. Military, We love you, appreciate you and pray for you and are fully 100% committed to you in your duty to follow the God, Country and Duty. Please also be aware that you do not have to follow any unconstitutional orders from your superiors. Any NCO or Officer who orders you to shoot, hurt, maim, detain, do anything that would do any physically, emotionally or spiritually damage another American Citizen, must be ignored and that superior who gave you any unconstitutional/illegal order, whether he/she being an NCO or Officer must be detained by you and taken to his or her commanding officer for arrest and immediate imprisonment. Any illegal order given or action by any U.S. Military personnel is a matter of tyranny, treason and violation of the U.S. Constitution and needs to be immediately addressed by you; you who are sworn to uphold our U.S. Constitution.

I also believe it is best that you do not “re-up” for any overseas duty. If you are currently stationed in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan or on other foreign soils, we need your physical presence in America very soon. The Untied States people are “gearing up” and getting ready for the 2012 Presidential, local, and state elections. There have already already in the past been actions taken by our U.S. Government in 2010 to count votes of illegal aliens, incarcerated inmates and other fraudulent actions taken by our United States Government agents that purposely allowed some persons to be wrongfully elected and in an illegal fashion. In addition to this and many other illegal activities by United States and State's government agents; In 2008, there were members of the “New Black Panther Party” who stood outside voting polls with weapons intimidating voters. After these bad men were arrested, our very own U.S. Government and it's agents allowed these men who illegally harassed voters to go free, despite their clear violations of the law and unconstitutional actions. Again, We The People need your help. We need guards at our polling places that will guarantee all American Citizens who are eligible to vote, to be able to take advantage of that right as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. We are in dire need of real leadership in our nation. We are looking to you; our U.S. Military personnel to lead so that all Americans can feel safe. We need you to stand side by side with We The People as opposed to what some in Washington DC would want you to do which is apparently “shoot to kill” us.

I have in the past served among many other good and even great Americans in a para-military organization. Many were protected because I and others like me stood vigilant to stand against evil. Wrong is wrong in our book; the Holy Bible which is the basis of all law in the United States of America. We must all begin working as a team to get our nation back and you, the current U.S. Military member must be counted on as part of the team as protectors of “We The People.” You are after all our sons, daughters, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, husbands, wives, fathers and mothers. Not only in a physical or biological sense, no you are part of all of us; We The People and we are your family! We are counting on you now more than ever as we get ready to take our nation back from tyrants, criminals, thieves and liars. Be vigilant my son's and daughter's, be vigilant !


“ God grants liberty only to those who love it, and are always ready to guard and defend it.”~ Daniel Webster

“THE SPIRIT OF SLUMBER.....”


“THE SPIRIT OF SLUMBER.....”

The Spirit of Slumber, yep America has it. If you are not familiar with spiritual matters, you may be confused and or will have no idea of what I am stating and getting to at here. To break down this spiritual principle as simply as possible so that all can understand my point, We need to once again look to the Bible and know that there are spiritual things of (Christian-Biblical) God and those of evil and they belong to demonic spirits. We cannot usually see these spiritual beings but oh yes, they are real. Jesus spoke of spiritual things in John Chapter 3 and referred to spiritual matters and about the wind. We do not see the wind but we do know it exists. Here is the meaning of spiritual matters; We can open good blessings from God through His Biblical promises and following Biblical precepts of what is Godly. There are those however who willingly participate in ungodly activities like listening to non-christian music, watching TV with ungodly themes, actions, doing activities contrary to God's Word that all open up spiritual doors for demonic influence in people's lives. When people ask me why they have so many problems in their life and I do a little digging with them into their personal issues, More often than not, when I get to the root of those issues, I find some sort of offense to God's Word like divorce, compromising with evil, unforgiveness, hatred, envy, jealousy, profanity, pornography, etc. This and other sin issues that go unchecked before God, only create more spiritual issues and more problems as a whole.

                             “Man will be ultimately governed by God or by tyrants.”!~ Benjamin Franklin

Looking at the history of the USA in the past 50 years or so, we have seen pretty much a “blind eye” response by most American's to all sorts of sin and evil. Everything is being not only allowed but also fostered by wicked people. This is from allowing homosexuality, to killing of children or the aged and has been allowed and encouraged although God says there are negative consequences for doing so. In fact, increase in problems associated with allowed or legalized sin throughout the USA have escalated enormously since Barack Obama took office. The issue of sin in our nation should have been addressed long ago by Christian pastors and “Christians” but instead, most Christians and American's as a whole chose instead to ignore the sinful lifestyle of their neighbors. Most have ignored Biblical command and warning to others involved in such wickedness. It is what Jesus cried out to others when He shouted; “REPENT OR PERISH !” Unfortunately, that warning is largely ignored and now we see sinful lifestyles growing and ... well look at our nation ! The bottom line here is satan took full advantage of our sinful desire to do life our way(without God), what we want, when we want and how we want to a higher level of self and without any (or very much of) God's direction in our personal lives or government. Satan has overpowered most American's with the Spirit of Slumber(sleep). Yes indeed my friends, Most American's have fallen asleep. They have been involved in so much sin, for so long, that now, when confronted about sinful acts, people look at you like you're crazy, judgmental or “knowsy” or just plain hateful and involved in some sort of terrorist act. Yes sir folks, many have fallen asleep in our world and I'm afraid you cannot wake these people up. As I pointed to in a previous blog article, there are sinful people that are wanting to roll around in the slime... they like it, love it and just like pigs, won't get out of it.

                              “It is when people forget God that tyrants forge their chains.”~ Patrick Henry

 We are getting hammered right now as a nation. Look at all the latest horrible, sinful acts of our national and state's governments. Our U.S Constitution gets eaten away every day. Our speech, gun and all fundamental rights are all being chipped away. I mean, have you ever been told you can only speak in a 3X3 foot area in the woods ? http://www.wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=329281 We have just pushed the Republic over the cliff with this “Super Congress” evil and when I am jumping up and down, warning most American's of what is occurring to America and the world, the response of most looks like the Disney cartoon character “Dopey” from Snow White. I'm not kidding. As we find out more about the latest spending bill recently passed by both Republican's and Democrats, we find little difference in the two political parties philosophies in finances and most areas overall. I don't care what FOX News tells you, America needs to trim waste and cut the deficit and get right with Jesus. Adding more money to the deficit while cutting spending is a joke ! We really are being sold down a river and few are taking notice. How about China wanting to build a city in Idaho ? The Islamists building more mosques ? American Children being stolen by CPS, Family Courts, and Domestic Violence Workers then sold off via Family Courts ?, The homosexual agenda being allowed to be legalized and taught in public schools ? Gosh ! Maybe people are getting Ambien put in their drinking water via the U.S Government??? Well, some may blame it all on our government but most American's are not taking personal responsibility for their own actions. We already know many have fallen asleep and not just our evil government is responsible for it is average “hard working Joe” of our nation who has pretty much stayed the course of falling asleep while evil men and women robbed the U.S Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

 “ America will never be destroyed from the outside. If we falter and lose our freedoms, it will be because we destroyed ourselves.”~ Abraham Lincoln

 I believe people are eventually going to wake up and are going to be in a shock of their lives to see what is occurring in our nation especially in Washington DC. I'm afraid though for most, by the time the brain engages into “forward” it will be to late. There should have been an uprising of good folks all across our nation long ago, but it hasn't happened. People just keep sipping the kool-aid and get a little angry. No action... nope, no action needed. Most people are enjoying the ride, sitting back, enjoying the scenery. There are a few folks complaining about not having the availability of a complementary snack but hey, their just chronic complainers any way... right ?
