Likewise, ye wives, be in subjection to your own husbands.

Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
--- 1 Timothy 2:11-12 ---

Wives, submit yourselves unto your husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church.
--- Ephesians 5:22-23 ---

It is better to live in a corner of the roof than in a house shared with a contentious woman.
--- Proverbs 25:24 --- 😄
Just thought these interesting.....Lol


These scriptures are all written for believers both the wife and husband. It clearly says that the woman should submit to the husband as unto the lord, while the husband is in comparison to Christ as head of the home, also called the priest of the home. My husband is not a believer so I am submitted to Christ only as my husband does not submit to Christ. Many people does not understand this and thinks that God gave woman instruction to submit to men who does not honour God or Jesus. It mentions the example of Sarah and Abraham. Well we all know who Abraham was and his relationship with God. The part about woman not to teach is about teaching in church and congregations or to be in a authoritative position over the men, and we all know that many woman in those times were illiterate. But there are many scriptures were God instructs the mother to teach her children in the ways of God. 🙂

we know the tales yes, who he was no

and we all know that many woman in those times were illiterate
Those were the days my friend,
We'd thought they'd never end,
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose,
We'd fight and never lose,

You steem to have forgotten that the OT was the old covenant and the Isralites were under the law. When Jesus came he fulfilled the law and set us free. This also meant that women could become disciples and bring the gospel. The big issue is about teaching in the temple or church which was not permitted for woman as it would place them in a authoritative position over men. Also because woman were mostly ileterate and could not read the Torah there was the fear that they could bring false doctrine. The position of women fortunately has improved a lot since then and the bringing of the gospel is for every one. The prophesies of the last days (period of time) clearly states that woman shall prophesy which thus we are in God's will. God is for all, woman, men and children and Jesus came for all of us.

This also meant that women could become disciples and bring the gospel.

😆 😂 Where do you get this stuff?????

OH...Sonnet....Don't listen to paul.....He is anti woman...a gnostic..

God seemed to think women could be prophetess....What now Paul knows better than god?

I was raised with pagan traditions and customs, however was told that there is one god. I was always given the freedom of choice and possibility - after much searching I concluded that Buddhism way of life makes the most sense to me.

Wow... lotta interesting folks. ha.

I am what you could call a work in progress. I love God very much and have been following (or trying to) His will for the last 5 years of my life. Led a very depraved, hate-filled and violent life beforehand, and I was raised in the church! Church doesn't make you a christian anymore than sitting in a garage makes you a car.

Now, granted, I am a "christian" ( i prefer simply a servant of The Almighty), but I would hope people would remember, I am still a flawed, human MAN. I will curse, spit, get mad and just generally do stupid things on occasion because I am still a man. Christianity makes me no better than anyone on the earth, it just means I know when I do certain things that to me they are wrong. My faith had a very positive outcome on my life.

1. I was going to kill everyone I knew the following week of my salvation, including all those who tormented me in highschool. That didn't happen, thankfully.

2. I stopped living for me, and started caring about others.

3. I found a reason to live, beyond the hope that tomorrow would be better.

4. I started loving all people, even when they hurt me. I may not like it, I may not respond positively to you, but I do love you. And I would give my life to save anyone I saw that needed it.

Some folks become "christians" and become better humans. Some use it as an excuse to fill the earth with hatred and their own laws and ideas. Make of it what you will.

folks gotta remember that the old testament became fulfilled when Christ came, and though the law did not get tossed out the window, the people were no longer under the threat of eternal damnation for violating it.

when it comes to women, ya'll do what you will. If you have a solid relationship with a Christ-loving man, groovy. If not, do the best job you can to love him, and raise your children with at least good morals and common sense.

i was raised a christian and still am a christian
May god bless you and keep you may he make his face to chine upon you and guide you all the days of your life

I was raised atheist and made a choice to follow Jesus by doing the will of the father in heaven. The Holy Scriptures and the Living Christ has always been there for me when the world got me down. Praise the Lord!

😄

I am so glad to hear this. Many people who are raised atheist have a hard time finding God or just never do. I am happy that you have God in your life 🙂. My friend Kim is an theist, I try to help lead her to God but she doesn't seem to care 🙁

well if she is a theist she already belive in god........atheist is the opposite..........and it is kind of arrogant trying to lead someone into your way of belief

she is atheist meaning she doesn't believe in God. She would rather worship the Devil as she has talked about. As a Christian I am only trying to help save her. How is that being arrogant?

How is that being arrogant?
arrogant in the way you think you are right and people who doesnt see it your way has got it wrong.... and if she talks about worshiping the devil she aint much of an atheist
