Logic Mind: Biggest lie ever.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:it was their culture at d time. there is a difference btw d culture of d Isrealites n God's laws. they are people of God |
Logic Mind: I am quoting the holy word of god.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:lol! @ stone of scandal! please give me specific examples/instances. thanks! |
logicboy: Did you not see the quote from the new testament?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? |
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.chapter 2 was talking about d Garden of Eden |
Logic Mind: I don't know what you had open when you read this bible of yours but it certainly wasn't your mind. |
Logic Mind: The bible does not consider many women important enough to mention their names.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?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.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 |
Logic Mind: The holy bible affirms that not only are some women worse than death, in fact no woman is upright.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 genocidethe 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.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 |
DeJeffo: there is a ridiculously interesting article here dat y'all should read : Not good advice for everyone though[url]i2sabi.com/2011/11/10-characteristics-of-the-perfect-spouse/[/url]i read it n it is really ridiculously interesting! now this is a robot impersonified! |
@logicmind: Isa 54:1 - 17 is talkin of d future glory of Jerusalem. it is also talkin figuratively. i also don't c how this passage ridicule barren women. this is one of the passages they read to increase and build up their faith |
logicboy: But I was a christian for 22 years. If I claim that the bible is sexist, you would say that I need the holy ghost!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 |
@logicmind: Luke 23:29- read from verse 26 down to 43. He was talking about d endtimes! He was talking of those who have no salvation. |
Logic Mind: In the bible, it is only the women who are barren and infertile. Never men.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? |
logicboy: Ironically, if a muslim told you the same about the Koran, you would not agree.@logicboy: i ve never quoted/misquoted any koranic text b4 because i ve never read one! anything a muslim tells me is in d koran, i believe until proven otherwise! besides, d muslims always claim that d koran should be taken as it is read! i don't talk wit authority about things i really don't understand, i rather ask questions or at best give my own opinions! take care! |
Logic Mind: No be talk am o. Na god himself say amthis 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! |
italo: Men and women have their roles in God's plan. There's no need to fight.welcome to d discuss. we re not fighting. i m only tryin to prove that contrary to common beliefs, the Bible/God was never against women and would never be |
Logic Mind: I'm sure she knew the bible more than you do. I'm also sure that the bible opens much more than minds in women. Even I, sometimes find myself mouth open when going through some passages of your holy book.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.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?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.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. |

goodmorning al! i'm sorry to be away from my thread for so long. @logicmind, i might not be able to quote specific posts/lines i would be answering b'cos i'm usin a phone but i would try my best. stay blessed! |
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! |
