Continuing on with our theme of criticizing Apostle Paul, since he makes it so easy, let's take a look at Ephesians 522 through 24.

Wives, submit yourself to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ,

So there you go. Now, we're going to get to the question of the week,

but first, I would love to address the question of last week. This is a segment called Talk Heathen

To Me, which love the title. Last week, we had the question of what character from a holy text
