Imagine that.....a person that has no problem whatsoever in murdering innocent children in the womb is attempting to lecture others by "cherry picking" a line of scripture away from the context of its entire subject matter.
Why just read a "single line" and then attempt to apply that line to a mold that suits your agenda? The answer is simple....that's what propagandists engage, deceit and duplicity.
I could also pick a single line from this same Chapter found in the Book of Colossians and apply it in an attempt to directly insult all leftist feminists....but, that would be taking it away from the contextual integrity of the entire Chapter and its simple message....."Whatever you do, do all with the Lord's authority". Meaning what? Meaning do not apply double standards, one for yourself another standard for others. Whatever you do, follow the guidelines established via the Holy Spirit who inspired the scriptures as a comfort to all men who would follow the Christ and His teachings...a guide.
That cherry picked line that I am sure would RASIE YOUR HACKLERS? "WIVES SUBMIT YOURSELVES UNTO YOUR HUSBANDS, AS IT IS FIT IN THE LORD." -- Col. 3:18
But you are quick to use the Scriptures as a WEAPON? Does that very application even appear to come close to the supposed advise you offered with a single line....Col. 3:23? Do you actually consult the scriptures before you attempt to use them as a weapon? Do you apply all of them as directed, "Whatever you do, do it heartily, AS IF TO THE LORD (meaning you want the Lord to stand behind the use of these scriptures)….AND NOT UNTO MEN."
So…..of course you are directing this passage of scripture to God and not to men....correct? You are not a hypocrite attempting to blame others (while having a 2x4 in your own eye....your endorsement of killing children in the womb)...for having a splinter in their eye.
What this entire Chapter and Book (Colossians) represents is the daily struggle of all Christians in attempting to live up to the same standards they establish for others....DO EVERYTHING AS IF YOU WERE TALKING DIRECTLY TO THE LORD AND NOT MEN.....for you are His representative and a living example.
Just a little reading for your consideration. "Do not judge less you judge righteously...." JUDGING OTHERS. "For with the judgment you pronounce....you (yourself) shall be judged...and with the measure you use it will be measured to you." -- Matt. 7:2 Basically the Christ is telling us we should not judge others with a measure of judgment we would not want for ourselves.
You should read Matt. 7:3-5 John 7:24 John 12: 47-48 1 Peter 4:11 All relating exactly to the passage you presented. If you are going to consider the scriptures....consider all the text on the subject you are attempting to TEACH.
