    I suggest you put down the latest best seller and try reading straight from the good book.
    Obvious from these statements you know not of what you speak.
    It is better to be silent and be thought a fool than to speak and remove all doubt.

    You dismiss my source as a "Wealthy mini-ministry", yet you are receiving your understanding of God's word from a Hedge broker?

    11 Be ye followers of me, as I also am of Christ.
    2 Now I praise you, brethren, that in all things you are mindful of me: and keep my ordinances as I have delivered them to you.
    3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

    [/INDENT]Not a lot of room for (mis)translation.
    Your grasp of translation is "laughable"

    #1: Considering that 1 Corinthians was written in Ancient Greek (a dead language), and your quote is in English, then it was interpreted and translated already.

    #2: The 3 most common mistakes when quoting the bible are context, context and context (not really, but I couldn't resist)... 1 Corinthians was written by the Apostle Paul to the church of Corinth to admonish them and try to bring them back to focus on what they should be focused on (Jesus) So the context of the entire book is not entirely relevant to VOTING, and is relevant to the actions of the CHURCH... the 11th chapter is related to WORSHIP... do you also believe that it commands women to have their head covered? That a man should not have long hair?

    #3: The point of the link was to get you to learn- and what you were SUPPOSED to learn was that Women ARE NOT THE ENEMY... they are not yours to subjugate, to order around, to "own"... because that's they way you are coming across. I tried to guide you to the right path, but apparently we need to be a bit more obvious. The enemy uses things like this to cause division, to divide husband and wife, to pit them against each other without knowing that they are being manipulated. That was the entire point of the Ezer Kenegdo article- a husband and wife should be partners... there is a natural order- but that occurs when a man is acting Christ-like, not the other way around. In secular terms: act like a REAL MAN, and your wife will follow you. When you are not, you don't deserve it. I personally would not want a wife that just blindly follows- I appreciate her views, her experience, and welcome her input. I'm not threatened by her strengths, I value them- and her.

    #4 If you really believe your wife should follow you without question, then why wouldn't you want her to vote- you get 2 votes that way
    (I say this as a joke, but there is some truth to it- but in the context that if you are truly partners and agree, then your votes should align- with her choosing to agree)
