About this episode
We learned a lot in recent years about the limits of authority of the civil government. But a lot of people have completely failed to carry that over into other spheres, and instead believe that while governments are very limited, husbands evidently have boundless authority in their homes. The Bible's call to submit to the government does not give the government unlimited authority over anything they want. Similarly, the Bible's call for wives to submit to their husbands doesn't actually give husbands unlimited authority either.
So how do we draw the line? I specifically discuss the claim that authorities should always be obeyed unless they call us to sin, and why it's false. As well as some pastors who seem to be enabling tyranny and creating weak Christians, and more.
