:: Beauty or Intelligence? Or I would rather say, Intellectual beauty or Biblical duty? ::

Doesn't it contradict the Bible when it says "Wives, submit to your husband?" O no! "We are not wives yet, we are just girlfriends and boyfriends. We are trying to test out the relationship to see whether it works or not" Really? How can we sure that wives will submit to their husband, when in such a small and testing period can't even proof any submittion?!

Everybody do agree, that Boy-Girl-Relationship must have the focus to marriage. It should lead to marriage, but I do not mean MUST. There are broken relationship, and did not lead to marriage. But it should by all means lead to marriage. The question is Intellectual beauty or Biblical duty?

What is the use if a person has intellectual, while he or she denies the Biblical duty? Is twentieth Century different from the ancient time? Of course it is different. Right? So in other words, we can apply that God in the twentieth century is different from the ancient age? If it is different, than I do not have anything to say. Since God is unchanging, and never changes, the biblical guidelines given to us also never change even when it is in the 20th Century. So why must we change the era, and deny the biblical guidelines.

I have many friends, or rather too many, who told me "Relationship is a time to test each other, we would not take it serious. If we are able to get along well and substains the relationship till the time ripe, I (Girlfriend) will than submit to him (Boyfriend) in obeying God's command." Guys out there! Beware of such sayings! It is always a lie!

There is a insecurity involved here. Despite of the affirmation made by the girlfriend to submit to the husband, there is no such security or guarantee that she will submit to the husband. By what authority does she have this say, and by what foundation she built on for her words?!

Guys, do not be deceived by all the pressures and media. If our girlfriends are unable to learn from the beginning to submit to the boyfriend, there is no assurance of submittion in marriage. Go and examine those marriages that has no submittion in the beginning. It is just like a floating city, "The Babylon Sky Garden" which has no foundation to rest on. When time comes, what happen? It collapse. So bad will the collapse be, that in return, we will say "I should have learn to submit to my boyfriend in the first place, and there goes my foundation."

I felt so uneasy upon reading Ling Qin's article. I do not wish to have any personal conflict with any members in the Church. But my duty is to draw out the error, and bring in the truth. If I close my eyes and forget about it, many brothers and sisters in Christ will be affected by the bad theology.
