not true, women in christianity will always be respected as the same as men. most women in the bible are middle eastern it is a custom to do so. most don't care aslong as they abuse them, women gave all the rights to man to deal with. they don't care aslong as they get what they want from the man so they do. in genesis it said that the woman will have great affection for the man and do what so ever to please him. this custom still applies to most countries.

God gave him that name because he wrestled with an angel and he wouldn't let him until he blessed him so the angel struck his hip and hit was out of place, so God named him isreal because he wrestled with both man and God and won. to this day true jewish people don't eat the hip part of lamb because that is where God struck him and they do this for his memory. people don't have to believe in the bible in order for salvation, but jesus who is the core of the bible, the man who died for mankind's sin so man could have a relationship with God without sin. He is the backbone of the bible. God let the things the way they are because in the end jesus will comeback and make things all new again. He is going to let the evil one have fun with the world but he won't last. He does this to test our faith towards the end and the ones who never give up with be given the crown of glory. it all gets better in the end, but first the worst must happen before the good can happen.
I noticed in the world the good people suffer the most. Cking Could i ask you more questions.

I'm not talking about the bible, I'm talking about today in the church, now. They hide it, and cover it with words, but the only thing that a woman is for, in the eyes of the church, is to have children. A woman will never be given power in the church.
Ok
Well you see how people dress. My friends wear the most revieling things at school, and out side on purpose. Skirt to short, Tight pants low cut shirt, you know the works. Some others call the kids that are how can I say, less popular, names, and make funny of them, say they have no life, loser, nerd, cant get a boyfriend/girlfriend,ugly,. Also is like making out (agressively like people do on the street).
Is just trying to go out with some one just for sex or to be popular
is going oy with alot of people and go dancing and you know flirting with alot of people.
Is kissing another girl
Sex before marrage or having sex when your a teenage just for fun.
Is cursing
Is sending a signal to a guiy that you like him when you realy dont, andor using him just to make yourself look better.
add a sin to like all of the non completed sentences
This is just random things that I see in my school.
I have more religous bible like questions, but thats for another time, this is just for today and what i see.

Yeah it does seem that way, doesnt it.
first of all, what kind of group is this? surely those people have stopped making fun of them. Still that not good to dress like that and that will give them a bad rap around people. They should dress normal and not get attention that way. when you got on a date, you should never do it because of popularity, or just sex, you need to do it because you love that person. true love is loving the person the way they and sex and popularity is not. sex is only for marriage and was never intended for dates, but people still abuse the system. dancing and all that stuff is ok and flirting ok alright, but never go the extreme and it will end up more than just flirting. some is ok but not too much. kissing another girl is not good and is isn't normal, you are better off kissing a guy. I'm talking about french kissing not just a regular kiss. sex before marriage is fornification and it is a sin because it is outside of marriage and most people who do it don't know what the consquences are. it depends on what type of cursing if you say god's name in vain then it is a sin, but regular cursing is a sin if you direct it to someone, but still the fact is it is all a sin. using a person just to make yourself look better is wrong and using signals to a guy you don't know is, well you are better off just asking the guys name before you do anything else.

Thanks alot.
Also second questions
1. God aint racist/sexist right
2. They say on the discovery channel that Mary had more children. So why is she still called the virgin mary.
3. Is ok not to go to church, beacuse you dont trust it, I mean if you see the priest smoking, cursing, and drinking, why should I go and believe anything he says.
4. Does God realy hear our prays, and if he does, does he help even a littel tiny little help, when we ask him .
Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions, I realy apreciate it.
God is all powerful all good the only thing he can't do is sin. mary was a virgin unti after jesus birth, she had other children, but the catholics call her that for some reason, of course she had sexual relations after jesus birth, if not then none of his brothers would exist. going to church is not is not for everyone, it is a group of believers coming to pray and worship together. if you see a pastor smoking, cursing, and drinking then he must not be a pastor after all and if he does in your church, then you better off finding another chruch, I see that chruch going down pretty soon if that is the case. you probably shouldn't believe that pastor, it is so hard being a pastor because they are always being ridiculed, they are suppose to set a good example and doing this is not helping, so you should go and ask another one instead, I have no idea what they do behind our backs, still you should trust another preacher instead. God does hear our prayers, he does help, one of God's greatest gifts is unanswered prayers, that means it will be answered in the future instead of now, you must be patient and if you aren't then you will never receive it. God will do it by his time, not by our time. It also depends on what you are praying to him about, if you pray to him with all your heart, then you will receive it, but if you don't then you won't. people ask the wrong things like money, popularity, wanting someone dead, a good example is when you read where solomon was asking more wisdom so he could rule better and so God gave him wisdom because he didn't ask the things I have listed. your welcome, those were really good questions.

Good advice , thanks.
Ok A quetion from my friend.
Is being a virgin ok.
Also If your a nun are you aloud to have sex, why or why not.
Is abortion right
Is a condom right( I think if you use a condom then your just having sex for fun)
Is adobting a child wrong.
If your sorry for things, are you forgiven
it is ok to be a virgin. in the catholic religion, nuns don't have sex for some reason, I don't know. abortion is wrong! killing innocent people is crazy! if you are married and going to have sex, yes it can be used because many years from now the whole planet will be infected with STDS. adobting a child is not wrong. if you are sorry for things, then you aren't, until you pray for forgiveness.
