Only One Mediator Between God and Man

There are false teachers in the Christian world who are teaching that women should obey their husbands even if they tell their wives to sin.
When we stand before God on judgment day we will not have the excuse that "my husband told me to do it." A domineering husband who usurps the Authority of the Holy Spirit, attempting to be the god in his wife's life will be judged for his rebellion against God.
Those who teach this monstrous idea are placing heavy burdens on the wives to obey a husband instead of Christ, this is demonic.
To place the husband in the role of the mediator between God and the wife is to deny the Authority of Christ in every believer.
1 Timothy 2:5
"5 For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;"
When a woman obeys her husband it is her choice alone and only if he obeys God. We are not required to obey a sinning husband who will not submit to God and worse attempts to cause his wife to sin against God.
Remember Ananias and Sapphhirah, God counted their individual sins as a conspiracy against God, He killed them both for their lying to the Holy Spirit. A man will be judged for his sin and a woman will be judged for her sin no matter who told her to do it.
John 14:6
"Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me."
Husband and wife are one, they work together, the husband is not independent of his wife and she is not independent of her husband. They work together counseling one another lovingly, no one dominates or controls the other. Those who dominate to control are being led by the devil. Christ never forced anyone about anything, he taught and left the choice to those who heard.
Ephesians 2:18
"For through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit."
When the husband disobeys God the woman is responsible to speak the truth in love to him to help him return to obedience. When the wife disobeys God the husband has the responsibility to speak the truth to her in love to help her return to obedience. The mentality of each is out of a deep love and concern, it is never to intimidate or demean to force compliance.
Ezekiel 3:18-20
"18 When I say to the wicked, ‘You will certainly die,’ and you do not warn him or speak out to warn the wicked from his wicked way so that he may live, that wicked person shall die for wrongdoing, but his blood I will require from your hand.
19 However if you have warned the wicked and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked way, he shall die for wrongdoing, but you have saved yourself.
20 Again, when a righteous person turns away from his righteousness and commits sin, and I place an obstacle before him, he will die; since you have not warned him, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood I will require from your hand."
No one is exempt from speaking the truth to those who are sinning.
