The Holy Bible.

     Numbers 12:1-16 ( KJV; 1611 EDITION ) read as follows:

"And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses , [ sic ] because of the Ethiopian woman , [ sic ] whom hee [ sic ] had married : [ sic ] for he had married an Ethiopian woman.  And they said, Hath the LORD indeed spoken onely by Moses ? [ sic ]  Hath hee [ sic ] not spoken also by vs ? [ sic ]  And the LORD heard it.  (Now the man Moses was very meeke , [ sic ] aboue all the men which were vpon the face of the earth.)  And the LORD spake suddenly vnto Moses, and vnto Aaron, and vnto Miriam, Come out ye three vnto the Tabernacle of the Congregation : [ sic ] and they three came out.  And the LORD came downe in the pillar of the cloude, and stood in the doore of the Tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam : [ sic ] and they both came foorth.  And hee [ sic ] saide [ sic ] , [ sic ] Heare now my words : [ sic ] If there be a Prophet among you, I the LORD will make my selfe knowen vnto him in a vision, and will speake vnto him in a dreame : [ sic ] my seruant Moses is not so, who is faithfull in all mine house.  With him will I speake mouth to mouth euen apparently , [ sic ] and not in darke speeches, and the similitude of the LORD shall hee [ sic ] behold : [ sic ] wherefore then were yee not afraid to speake against my seruant Moses ? [ sic ]  And the anger of the LORD was kindled against them , [ sic ] and he departed.  And the cloud departed from off the Tabernacle, and behold , [ sic ] Miriam became leprous , [ sic ] white as snow : [ sic ] and Aaron looked vpon Miriam , [ sic ] and behold , [ sic ] she was leprous.  And Aaron said vnto Moses, Alas my lord, I beseech thee, lay not the sinne vpon vs, wherein we haue done foolishly , [ sic ] and wherein we haue sinned : [ sic ] let her not bee [ sic ] as one dead , [ sic ] of whom the flesh is halfe consumed, when he commeth out of his mothers wombe.  And Moses cryed vnto the LORD , [ sic ] saying , [ sic ] Heale her now , [ sic ] O God, I beseech thee.  And the LORD said vnto Moses , [ sic ] If her father had but spit in her face, should she not bee [ sic ] ashamed seuen dayes ? [ sic ]  let [ sic ] her be shut out from the campe seuen dayes , [ sic ] and after that let her be receiued in againe.  And Miriam was shut out from the campe seuen dayes : [ sic ] and the people iourneied not, til [ sic ] Miriam was brought in againe.  And afterward the people remoued from Hazeroth , [ sic ] and pitched in the wildernesse of Paran" ( emphasis mine, R.E.W. ).

Matthew 22:37-40 ( KJV; 1611 EDITION ) read as follows:

"Iesus sayd [ sic ] vnto him , [ sic ] Thou shalt loue the Lord thy God with all thy heart , [ sic ] and with all thy soule , [ sic ] and with all thy minde.  This is the first and great Commandement.  And the second is like vnto it, Thou shalt loue thy neighbour as thy selfe.  On these two Commandements hang all the Law and the Prophets."

Romans 6:8-10 ( NKJV ) read as follows:

"Now if we died with Christ, we believe that we shall also live with Him, knowing that Christ, having been raised from the dead, dies no more.  Death no longer has dominion over Him.  For the death that He died, He died to sin once for all; but the life that He lives, He lives to God" ( emphasis mine, R.E.W. ).

     From Numbers 12:14 we see that God, the Father ( see John 5:19-30 ( especially verses 26 and 27, for example ) and 1 John 5:7, for example ) despises racism.  Moreover, Jesus ( God, the Son ( see Matthew 16:13-17 ( especially verse 16, for example ), John 1:1, 14 and Colossians 2:8, 9, and recall 1 John 5:7, for example )) condemns racism, both by what He teaches in Matthew 22:39, and by what He did ( as it is mentioned in Romans 6:10 ( NKJV, for example ), for example ).  Finally, God, the Holy Spirit ( see 1 John 5:6, 7, for example ) condemns racism.  Specifically, when we study the Holy Bible ( God's word - see Psalm 119:65-72, John 17:1-26 ( especially verse 17, for example ), 2 Timothy 2:15 and 2 Timothy 3:16, 17, for example ), He guides us into all truth ( see John 16:13, for example ); therein learning that racism is a sin.  Thus, racism is condemned in the Holy Bible: it is a sin.

     Ephesians 5:20-33 ( KJV; 1611 EDITION ) read as follows:

"Giuing thankes alwayes for all things vnto God , [ sic ] and the Father , [ sic ] in the Name of our Lord Iesus Christ, submitting your selues one to another in the feare of God.  Wiues , [ sic ] submit your selues vnto your own husbands, as vnto the Lord.  For the husband is the head of the wife , [ sic ] euen as Christ is the head of the Church : [ sic ] and he is the sauiour of the body.  Therefore as the Church is subiect vnto Christ , [ sic ] so let the wiues bee to their owne [ sic ] husbands in euery thing.  Husbands, loue your wiues, euen as Christ also loued the Church , [ sic ] and gaue himselfe for it : [ sic ] that he might sanctifie & cleanse it with the washing of water , [ sic ] by the word, that hee might present it to himselfe a glorious Church , [ sic ] not hauing spot or wrinkle , [ sic ] or any such thing : [ sic ] but that it should bee holy and without blemish.  So ought men to loue their wiues , [ sic ] as their owne bodies : [ sic ] hee that loueth his wife, loueth himselfe.  For no man euer yet hated his owne flesh : [ sic ] but nourisheth and cherisheth it, euen as the Lord the Church: for we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.  For this cause shall a man leaue his father and mother, and shall be ioyned vnto his wife , [ sic ] and they two shalbe [ sic ] one flesh.  This is a great mysterie : [ sic ] but I speake concerning Christ and the Church.  Neuerthelesse , [ sic ] let euery one of you in particular, so loue his wife euen as himselfe, and the wife see that she reuerence her husband."

In the above-given passage from the Holy Bible, we see a description of the subject of submission that the apostle Paul wrote to "the Saincts [ sic ] which are at Ephesus , [ sic ] and to the faithfull in Christ Iesus" ( see Ephesians 1:1 ).  From verse 21, we see that Christians ( see Acts 11:26, for example ) are to submit "one to another in the feare of God."

     Considering verse 22, wives are to submit to their own husbands "as vnto the Lord."  Furthermore, according to verse 24, wives are to be subject to their own husbands "in euery thing."  When we consider Matthew 7:12, for example, Jesus teaches that we are to treat others the way we want to be treated.  Moreover, based on what Hebrews 4:14, 15 teach, for example, we can conclude that Jesus never mistreated anyone.

     Therefore, with verses 22 and 24 in mind, wives are to submit to their own husbands in everything, as unto the Lord.  A wife does not have to submit to her husband; involving a situation whereby he threatens violence against her.  Husbands must love their wives and not mistreat them, and wives must reverence their husbands.  There is a problem with domestic violence here in America, and elsewhere in the world.
