So, what you're saying is, if principles are inappropriately made in to laws we'll likely end up mis-prioritizing the principles, like when the primary principles of preaching the gospel and making disciples and feeding the sheep get nullified by the secondary issue of women not usurping the teaching authority over men. If that's what you're saying, then, I agree wholeheartedly and I thank God for sending us such wise preachers as you to help us through these confusions and difficulties.

The Lord balanced everything so wisely, and we humans surely messed things up!

But where do single, adult Christian women stand in light of submitting to their fathers? What does that look like? It can't be that we have the same restrictions as when we were 5 years old since it would be unhealthy mentally/spiritually but do we have the same liberty as single adult Christian men?

JMO, but I know we are to honor our parents. As children, we do as instructed because they are our authority figures, lovingly guiding us. As adults, we single women still are to listen to the advice offered by our parents. But also, as adults, we are responsible for our relationship with our Lord and Savior, who is our ultimate authority. What the Lord wants may conflict with our parent's desires. Our earthly fathers are not perfect, even though they love us greatly. So what I'm trying to say is that we remain respectful, yet keep the bigger picture in mind of living for our Savior as our God. Christ will judge us one day, not our earthly fathers. We are responsible for the decisions we make as adults. Now, some single adult females and earthly parents do not know how to respect each other's decisions in a healthy way. There is a book that helped me immensely in this regard. It's called Boundaries by Dr. Cloud and Dr. Townsend. And if you can, locate a genuine Biblical counselor to discuss this with. May the Lord bless you!

@Marilla Cuthbert20 I hope it helps. We Christians are to pray for each other and if we have any similar life experiences, to share. I was the 3rd child of 3, the only daughter, and I didn't take the opportunity to marry when I was younger and had the chance. My father died 10 years ago at age 91, and so you can imagine how our relationship changed over the years. Always remain close to your Lord and Savior and rest in His loving Word and Holy Spirit's guidance and you won't get off track. So hang in there!

It doesn't make any sense for the woman to have to do it all- financially support the family, have the kids, and make all the decisions. A Christian man enjoys providing for the family! The woman already has enough to do and the Christian man knows it. He appreciates her hard work, and considers her desires when discussing family decisions. It's a team effort, but the buck stops with the man. It's a great arrangement for all families and the running of the church, too! God knows best!
