How specifically do Promise Keepers deny the two-way submission (actually,
it should be three way: man to woman, woman to man, woman & man to God)?

Actually, Mother Teresa acknowledged that Jesus was the only way to
salvation, and the reason for what she did what she did. Some
Fundementalists would say she's not born again simply because she was
Catholic (which, probability-wise would be true, but not absolutely)
: you are a homosexual, or any other identifiable "bad" sinner (as compared

: these are compared at the same place in the Bible).
Actually, it should be "God help you". (That's supposed to be truth with
humor).
Anyway--Yeah, Fundementalists often ignore pride, which as you aptly point
out, is just as bad as homosexuality, though much subtler. The avid
anti-homosexuals will read the second half of Romans 1, but ignore Romans 2,
which condemns those who judge others.
(It's interesting--Pride is what destroyed the devil--nothing sexual!)
