Logic Mind: Biggest lie ever.
god judged motives, thoughts etc in the old testament. many times
are we thus to abandon all of these old laws?
people's motives/thoughts were never judged in d OT. besides, there re only ten OT commandments given to Moses Ex 20 directly n they re stil valid till tomorrow. those re d laws Jesus Christ came to fulfill. in d OT, until u committed adultery, u were innocent but in NT, if u look at a woman wit lust then it is d same as adultery etc check Matt 5

Logic Mind: I am quoting the holy word of god.

please did solomon also marry 1000 men? that's a new one.
the Bible records d Word of God, d deeds n feelings of people, their wrong/right situations etc to correct, inspire us etc so u can't quote solomon's words during despair n claim it as the mind of God. Solomon really had 700 wives n 300 concubines and that was his downfall

logicboy: May your children be slaves and be told to obey their masters since you think that is a good thing!
please read my post properly, i never implied that slavery was a good thing. look at it this way: if u met an house help, wat would u tell her? to behave well to her boss or to be rude to them? wat would u also advice d boss?

Ptolomeus: It's simple:
The role of women in the Bible is reduced to a Simple horned (Cuckold), or stone of scandal. I hope I was clear now.
lol! @ stone of scandal! please give me specific examples/instances. thanks!

logicboy: Did you not see the quote from the new testament?


furthermore, Jesus/God couldnt stop skavery? He was afraid of rebellion?
i did n i addressed it starting from the gentiles stuff. Jesus was not afraid of a rebellion but He didn't come to reign in an earthly kingdom but an heavenly one. He said repeatedly that His Kingdom was not of this world that was y He told those believers who were slaves to obey their masters n their masters should treat them fairly. He even paid His taxes n christians re told to pay import duty, obey their govt, avoid riots etc!

Logic Mind: So the old testament laws were wrong laws?
they were not wrong laws but they dealt wit d physical aspect of life. the OT laws can not save, they just served as corrective measures. but in the NT, the person's heart(spirit) is renewed and God judges our motives, actions, thoughts etc while in the OT, only d actions re judged

Logic Mind: I don't know what you had open when you read this bible of yours but it certainly wasn't your mind.
In genesis chapter 1, we were told of how god chronologically created things in six days. He created vegetation on the third day. The last thing he created was man on the sixth day.
In genesis chapter 2, we were told that adam was created before vegetation but after the streams. Remember that vegetation was created on the third day.

You see:
Adam created on the third day, after the streams and earthly waters were created but before vegetation was created.
Man created on the 6th day after everything else, including Adam, was created.

Two different beings.
chapter 2 was talking about d Garden of Eden

Logic Mind: The bible does not consider many women important enough to mention their names.
It is always this person's daughter, that person's wife, that man's mother. etc
Here is a non exhaustive list of nameless women in the bible:
-Cain and Abel's sisters
-Noah's wife
-Daughter of Ham
-Nimrod's wife
-Mother of Abraham
-Lot's daughters
-Lot's wife
-Laban's wife
-Potiphar's wife
-Pharaoh's daughter
-Simeon's wife
-The Cushitic wife of Moses
-Job's wife
-Samson's mother
-Jephthah's daughter
-David's mother
-The Witch of Endor
-The wise woman of Abel
-The Queen of Sheba
-Haman's mother
-Sisters/step-sisters/female cousins of Jesus
-Herodias' daughter
-Syrophoenician woman
-Hæmorrhaging woman
-Samaritan woman at the well
-Woman taken in adultery
-Pontius Pilate's wife

And many more.
well, i have also wondered y some women were not named in the Bible. like apostle Paul says, we only know in part now till we get to heaven. when i get to heaven, i ll probably ask God y. however, al d women that did something notable/outstanding or their names would add importance were named in d Bible. anyone that knows d reason y could help us out

Ptolomeus: Read these passages to the wife of Abraham? David's wife? Noah's wife? Solomon's wife?
They were all adulterers, with the approval of the Judeo-Christian god ...
May well increase the faith of these women deceived and humiliated.
goodday, pls i don't understand ur post and i don't want to assume. clearify urself. thanks

Logic Mind: Going back to barren women. God eventually opened the wombs of most these women.
However, all the wombs that were opened were to bear...you guessed it: boys. males only.
God does not open a barren womb in order to get a baby girl. Never!
all the barren women that had more than a child had gals. however, the FB were always boys b'cos they had to witness in one way or the other to the isrealites and it was only men that were legible witnesses in isreal at d time. e.g. samuel was a priest, john was d forerunner of Jesus, etc
Christianity Etc › Re: The Stand Of Women In The Bible by bukatyne(op): 4:43pm On Jun 01, 2012
Logic Mind: The holy bible affirms that not only are some women worse than death, in fact no woman is upright.

Ecclesiastes 7:26-29

26 I find more bitter than death
the woman who is a snare,
whose heart is a trap
and whose hands are chains.
The man who pleases God will escape her,
but the sinner she will ensnare.

27 ‘Look,’ says the Teacher, ‘this is what I have discovered:

‘Adding one thing to another to discover the scheme of things –
28 while I was still searching
but not finding –
I found one upright man among a thousand,
but not one upright woman among them all.
29 This only have I found:
God created mankind upright,
but they have gone in search of many schemes.’
now u re quoting king solomon! he also said that everything is meaningless, al is vanity upon vanity! solomon was probably talking about his 1,000 wives. check d Bible, many righteous women abound

logicboy: The bible supports slavery and genocide




Leviticus 25:44
"Your male and female slaves are to come from the nations around you; from them you may buy slaves.

1 Peter 2:18
"Slaves, submit yourselves to your masters with all respect, not only to those who are good and considerate, but also to those who are harsh."

Titus 2:9
"Teach slaves to be subject to their masters in everything, to try to please them, not to talk back to them"

Furthermore, in the 13th century, the Catholic church officially supported slavery in its canon law by Pope Gregory IX. Also, there were popes who held slaves themselves
the old testament operated under the old law/covenant and we have things like stoning of people, slavery etc but all that was abolished in the NT. HOWEVER, some gentiles had slaves, it was part of their customs so there must be laws to regulate slavery. it would cause serious confusion and social disorder if al masters were told to release their slaves or if al slaves were told to rebel because al the slave owners might not be christians. it is just like saying that because the law talks of punishin rape then it encouraged rape. as for d popes, u should know that Jesus is our ultimate mirror of christian living. popes can make mistakes b'cos they re human. if my pastor steals, does it mean that God support stealing? take care

Ofido: Lets look at it in a better form, It takes an unfaithful woman to make an unfaithful man truth or false?.... If ther aint one unfaithful woman u wouldnt get one unfaithful man.
because if u really think of wat makes a man unfaithful, you wil discover its because some lady somewher is unfaithful. So ladies plz stop been unfaithful so as to get a faithful man plzzzz i take God beg una.
Ofido, it is only an irresponsible man that ll blame a woman for his faithfulness! if u re faithful as a man, wat is ur business wit unfaithful women? Joseph is a very beautiful example in d Bible: he was handsome and d master's wife was interested in his body! i'm sure 90% of guys today ll say 'see awuuf!' 'see dat babe' etc but Joseph knew where he was goin to and practically ran from her! he also said he couldn't such a WICKED thing against God! can u beat dat? no body has d excuse to be unfaithful, they only decide to! it is just like a lady saying that rich men are plenty so she must sleep wit them etc there is no reason to cheat! it pays physically, spiritually, emotionally, financially, socially, mentally even sexually to be faithful! take care

anytime i hear such, it makes me ache. wat made u draw back from God? Ps 34: 8 says 'taste n see that d Lord is good. o d joys of those who trust in Him.' i sincerely don't believe that someone that once loved God genuinely ll draw back but i'm not omniscient! the Bible is not sexist, i once thought so myself until i told God to open my inner heart to see His word and decided to reread my Bible again witout bias. i would like to know y u drew back from Christ. take care

Christianity Etc › Re: The Stand Of Women In The Bible by bukatyne(op): 1:20pm On May 31, 2012
Logic Mind: In the bible, it is only the women who are barren and infertile. Never men.
Sarah, Abraham's wife, was barren. Genesis 11:30
Rebekkah, Isaac's wife, was barren. Genesis 25:21
Rachel, Jacob's wife, was barren. Genesis 29:31
Manoah's wife, future mother of Samson, was barren. Judges 13:2
Michal the daughter of Saul, wife of David, was barren. 2 Samuel 6:23
Hannah, Samuel's future mother, was barren. 1 Samuel 1:5-6
Great Shunammite woman who helped Elisha, was barren. 2 Kings 4:8-17
Elizabeth, Jesus' auntie and john's future mother, was barren. Luke 1:7

The bible even mock them.
Psalm 113:9 "He maketh the barren woman to keep house and to be a joyful mother of children. Praise ye the LORD."
Isaiah 54:1-17 "Sing, O barren one, who did not bear; break forth into singing and cry aloud, you who have not been in labor! For the children of the desolate one will be more than the children of her who is married,"
Luke 23:29 For behold, the days are coming when they will say, 'Blessed are the barren and the wombs that never bore and the breasts that never nursed!'
and who told u that only women were barren? read Matt 19: 11-12 where Jesus Christ was talking about marriage n divorce. about the Bible mockin barren women: Ps 113:9 - 'He (God) gives d barren woman a home so that she becomes a happy mother' parenthesis mine. wat is d mockery in dat? or are u been ironical?

Logic Mind: No be talk am o. Na god himself say am
Genesis 2:20 "...But for Adam no suitable helper was found"
To help with what exactly if I may ask?

If women were created as per Genesis 1:26-28, why did god have to create eve specially? Also remember that Adam named eve "woman" after she has been created so Genesis 1:26-28 could not have been speaking of women.

For clarity purposes. Woman means "taken out of man" Gen 2:23. The females created in Genesis 1:26-28 were not taken out of men so could not have been women.
this is wat i mean by prayin for understanding. Gen 1 was giving the summary of creation while chapter 2 was telling us d process of creating humans! if u stick wit that ur reasoning that means the man mentioned in chapter 1 is not Adam cos God Created Adam From Dust In Chapter 2 and dat God recreated d heavens and earth again!

elizabeth might have read d Bible but she never understood nor knew d God of the Bible because she never had d basic requirement: being born again! the letter kills but d Spirit gives life meaning that d Bible is not a story book! u don't just read it literally, u pray for God to open ur inner eyes n heart to understand His Word to u

Logic Mind: Women were not part of god's original plan. They are an afterthought.
God created adam first and only derived eve from adam when he realised that adam needs someone to help with his bonner from time to time.
lol! i like ur sense of humour! if God had to take a rib out of adam to create eve then u should know that eve's job description was more than being a bonner helper! besides, God doesn't waste His resources. if He wanted eve to be BH only, he wouldn't have given her a brain, soul or spirit. read Genesis 1:26-28 and u'll c dat women re not an afterthought. take care

Logic Mind: So you are telling me that god negates his gifts because of freewill? Infact it doesn't matter what gift god gave us, we can do anything we bloody want, the way we bloody want?
So the person that receives gods gift can end up exactly the same as the person who didn't?
What then is the use of god's gift?
biblical apologetics really make me laugh. So when solomon ordered that an innocent baby be murdered, that was wisdom from god but when he ordered that women be brought to him, that was foolishness from freewill.
God never negates His gifts because of His freewill. He has given every man(male and female) the power of choice immediately the person is born. as such a person becomes wiser, he or she decides to use it as he/she wills. refer to my prev post on something similar. if God didn't give us the power of choice despite His gifts and He decided to judge us for our actions(which we have no control over), wouldn't that be unfair of Him? using u as a classic example: God gave u the gift of life yet u decided out of ur freewill NOT to believe or worship Him. wat would u want God to do? force u to worship Him? take ur life(His gift)? i never read/heard that God forced/told/cajoled/tempted solomon to marry extra wives so y should we blame Him?

Logic Mind: Here is what a pioneering feminist, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, thinks of the biblical portrayal of women.

"The bible teaches that women brought sin and death into the world, that she precipitated the fall of the race, that she was arraigned before the judgment seat of Heaven, tried, condemned and sentenced. Marriage for her was to be a condition of bondage, maternity a period suffering and anguish, and in silence and subjection, she was to play the role of a dependent on man's bounty for all her material wants, and for all the information she might desire... Here is the Bible position of woman briefly summed up."
i like d word u used: thinks! if she were alive, i would advice her just like i would advice u to read d Bible wit an open mind. don't assume the Bible says something on a subject before finding out wat d Bible REALLY says about that subject. don't say this is wat my pastor says therefore it must be right! Elizabeth lived in a time when discrimination against women and human trafficking/slave trade were supported wit d Bible. years later, people who read their Bibles properly started fighting against it.

olaayodele: The reason why most men are not faithful is that men are polygamous in nature. The men that are genuinely born again are faithful. A man can be a pastor and not genuinely born again.watch out, by their fruits you will know them.
gudeven, i agree wit ur post expect d first line. i have never read anywhere in the Bible that man is polygamous in nature. remember God created a man and a woman! it is just one of the deception of d devil, everyman can control himself if he wants to by the Grace of God! Take Care @OP: there re faithful men around us. when a man genuinely loves u, he can't think of sharing any part of himself wit another woman apart from u. even King Solomon said it amazed him how a man loves a woman, a man in love gives his woman his all! i am not talkin of mr. biggs, he's a good kisser, he is TDH, rich kind of love! everyone finds this type of genuine love @ a point in our lives but most times, it is like unprocessed gold or diamond and we throw it away! a little polishin, refinin etc would have made it shine brightly! stay blessed!
