Did Jesus Christ ever say that women should be submissive to men?
Where in the Gospels can we find any such statement from Christ?
While the Apostle Paul does mention in Ephesians 5:22 that a wife should be submissive to her husband, it's important to consider the verse preceding it—Ephesians 5:21—which advises, "Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ."
This highlights Paul's understanding of Christ's teachings on equality and inclusivity among women and men, as well as across different races and social classes.
Furthermore, while the Apostle Paul is entitled to his own opinions, he does not possess the moral authority to override the teachings of Jesus Christ, especially concerning spiritual matters.
If Christians are to be faithful rather than hypocritical, they must adhere to the teachings of Christ and approach the Old Testament and even some New Testament verses with care and caution, especially if those scriptures contradict or diverge from Christ's teachings.
It is essential to keep the Gospels distinct from other texts and never conflate the Gospels with any other scriptural verses.
Because in the end, Jesus Christ has the highest moral authority to teach spiritual matters and no one has the right to conflate, distort, manipulate, or override the teachings of Christ.
