Logic Mind: According to the bible, the wisest man that ever lived garthered numerous women for himself. He jumped from hole to hole sotey that the isrealis lost count and said there were a thousand.
Even the biggest prostitution ring ever does not have such an amount of women.

i believe one of my replies has answered u. this shows that no man can boast in himself. it is only by God'S Grace that we stand. God took d Kingdom from solomon n he had a very miserable life. read d book of ecclesiastes n u ll see that he said that all was vanity upon vanity!

Logic Mind: The holy bible teaches us that violence, any violence, against women is preferable to sexxual violence against men.

Genesis chapter 19 told a story about men that wanted to rape other men but were instead offered women by a man god described in the new testament as righteous by no other than the head of the church himself, St. Peter(2 Peter chapter 2 verse 7).
This man of god called lot gave the rapists his two daughters with special instruction to "do what you like with them".
The rapists declined because they were probably gay but this man of god later impregnated his two daughters himself claiming he was drunk and didn't know how it happened.

Judges chapter 19 told another story where women were also offered to be raped instead of men.

dear, don't confuse wat people did to wat God approves or disapproves of. the fact that our leaders embezzle public funds doesn't mean that our constitution approves/supports it. God has given everyone his free will. u can decide to do good or evil, He doesn't force u. only be rest assured that whatever a man sows, that he shall reap.

Logic Mind: If you are unfortunate enough to become a widow, the bible says you must no longer seek for pleasures in life.

1 Timothy 5:6

6 But the widow who lives for pleasure is dead even while she lives.


in fact you are not even considered a widow if you are under 61 yrs old, ever had sex with another man (or woman) and have also done a lot of other things including washing saints' feet.

1 Timothy 5:9 -10

9 No widow may be put on the list of widows unless she is over sixty, has been faithful to her husband,[a] 10 and is well known for her good deeds, such as bringing up children, showing hospitality, washing the feet of the saints, helping those in trouble and devoting herself to all kinds of good deeds.

logicmind, d Bible is Spirit n that Spirit gives life. unfortunately, the Bible is not wat u use logic to understand. that passage meant that a widow below sixty years is more likely to remarry because of sexual desires. d pleasure there meant fornication. i.e. sex outside marriage

buzugee: yes but the question is about WOMEN

dear, i m trying to point out to u that it goes both ways! it didn't make d woman unequal because d man got equal punishment.

Logic Mind: the op asked about the stand of women in the bible and i'm giving her the stand of women in the bible, not the reason or justification for this stand which is what you are trying to do. However I will tell you that your reasons make jehovah, the omnipotent creator look very silly to create men thus. in his image and likeness. think about it.

logicmind i take it that u re not a christian. in d beginning, God created man(spirit) in His own image. the man there refers to male n female. however, when man sinned, he fell short of the Glory of God meaning he fell short of God's standard. when Jesus Christ came n died on d Cross Of Calvary, he redeemed n reconciled man(spirit) back to God. so, we have d carnal (unreconciled) man n d spiritual (reconciled) man.

@logicmind: sorry, i have exceeded d max words. some of those rules were made to regulate their wickedness. if u tell a man not to sleep wit his wife immediately she puts to bed, he might not answer u. tell him dat woman is unclean n he will stir clear. do u understand?

Logic Mind: This one is so disgusting that I have to post the whole chapter. Yes the bible has a whole chapter dedicated to uncleanliness of women after childbirth. Notice that the unclean period doubles if it is a baby girl!
It also implied that childbirth is sin.

Leviticus 12

12 The Lord said to Moses, 2 “Say to the Israelites: ‘A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period. 3 On the eighth day the boy is to be circumcised. 4 Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over. 5 If she gives birth to a daughter, for two weeks the woman will be unclean, as during her period. Then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding.

6 “‘When the days of her purification for a son or daughter are over, she is to bring to the priest at the entrance to the tent of meeting a year-old lamb for a burnt offering and a young pigeon or a dove for a sin offering.[a] 7 He shall offer them before the Lord to make atonement for her, and then she will be ceremonially clean from her flow of blood.

“‘These are the regulations for the woman who gives birth to a boy or a girl. 8 But if she cannot afford a lamb, she is to bring two doves or two young pigeons, one for a burnt offering and the other for a sin offering. In this way the priest will make atonement for her, and she will be clean. ’”

it never meant that childbirth is unclean, God Himself created sex Gen 1:27-28. al these laws were really to protect d people. there re also uncleanliness ritual for when a man ejaculates. remember dat when a person is unclean, he/she can't do anything, touch anyone/anything etc. so basically, a woman does nothing then neither can her husband sleep wit her. u should know that d isrealites were very hardened. some of d rules were not God's original plan

Logic Mind: i know the xtians want to shut me up but i must preach their bible to the world.

Let's start with this one.

Exodus 20:17

17 “You shall not covet your neighbor’s house. You shall not covet your neighbor’s wife, or his male or female servant, his ox or donkey, or anything that belongs to your neighbor.”


This passage clearly shows that the bible consider women as properties of men like ox or donkey. Note also that this rule does not apply to women coveting their neighbours husbands.

u should understand den it was easier for a man to snatch his neighbor's wife b'cos he was more powerful or richer e.g. story of david n bathsheba. 2sam17

buzugee: lets just say if you are a woman used to sleeping with different men, you should be prepared to meet your demise at the hands of 1000 stones hurled at you by well muscled men

it was also obtained for men too check deuteronomy 22:22-30

hmmm... d comments here re interestin.

'women re subordinates' as in?

hello nairalanders? how does the Bible view women? do churches misinterprete wat d Bible says? i would like us to discuss. no bashing please. have a splendid time!

i agree wit wat deols said. the couple re both at fault. wat was d man hoping to achieve? when d man started d game n saw dat d wife was fallin? y didn't he stop? if he was a man out for d good of his wife, he would have reasoned that his wife lacks those things he used to tempt her n make steps to correct it in his marriage. as for d woman, when she saw she was fallin, she should have blocked/unfriended d guy n tell her husband in plain english ow she wanted d guy to touch her etc etc. the fallin should have told her that something was really or not lackin in her marriage. a content man/woman doesn't go about cheatin. the couple should both work on themselves n rebuild trust again. as for everyone sayin d guy should divorce his wife, if it were d other way round, would u advice d wife to divorce her hussy?

@OP: there is on man's world! a poster used d Bible to support his stand. pls read ur Bible well n understand. go to gen 1:27, God created man(male n female) in His image. read gal 3:28. Don'T confuse wat man did wit God's intentions. someone quoted 1cor11:9, please dat scripture further. u said there re no female prophets, check deborah, anna, huldah, hannah, miriam, etc. we have d queen of sheba n queen of ethopia in d Bible. a woman is to submit to her husband n her husband is to love her. read 1cor 13:4-7 to see wat love is n u ll know that a woman submittin is not a punishment or because she is lower. God used men n women mightly. however, u must make urself available. we have marys, martha etc that did exploits for God. we also have women who invented one thing or the other like marie curie, she was d first person to have a double nobel award in physics n chemistry! women, men ll treat u how u want to be treated. if u want to get married, marry a man that supports ur dreams n u support his. together, u both ll conquer d world. God created every man n every woman for a distinct purpose. discover wat ur purpose is n look for a man/woman that ll support u n bring out d best in u. cheers!

hmmm... d accuser as become d accused! naijasexy, carry go!

@florasexy: y re u not free wit him?

@flora: ow re u? follow wat sexkills said. have u been hurt in d past? or re u tryin not to appear to be loved up? feel free wit ur guy! they also need love n to be pampered like we ladies do. dream of al d things u want him to do to/for u n do it to him. i wish u al d best!

@Badmofo: an alpha woman doesn't look for these things in a man because she has them herself. she looks for a man that ll be there for her emotionally. wat is d use of a rich, handsome, brilliant, well built man (assuming it is al true) when a woman aches inside? when she just loses a loved one or is hurt? perhaps a gamma female ll be impressed by them. nobody sings his own praises. go and develop inner 'handsomeness' n ladies that know ur worth ll come ur way. cheers

@onegai: ow re u? there re some things i've noted n i don't know if it would help to prevent future occurence of such. 1. i don't know wat u mean by a man 'coming off as a player' but i believe u must be familiar wit a guy b4 he approaches u so meetin in d eatery, street, bus etc is out for me. b4 a meaningful relationship can commence, they should be sincere friends who re open to each other to an extent. 2. if a gal knows a man to be a player, then she shouldn't bother. 3. playin hard to get doesn't make a gal look more 'decent' 4. if they re not friends, she should insist on beingfriends wit NOTHING attached n mean it. 5. don't go about sayin things u don't mean or know that u can't do. don't lie or be ready to be a 'woman' of ur words esp when it comes to d issue of sex n virginity. be principled n make compromises witout breakin them. 6. know when a relationship is not working anymore. don't keep clingin to a person that is no longer interested. i hope this helps. later. take care

@naijasexy: this is woaw! cindy is really gettin desperate! sha invite nairaland to d wedding of simi n ibro!

hello naijasexy, i ve been following ur story n it is very beautiful! u have a very creative imagination. keep it up!

@CC: u re talkin of secondary school? even during my service year, i couldn't bring home anything that was somehow above my income then. i just imagine bringing home a bb of 60k during my service year; i would speak in tongues n define where i got it from. b4 i could look my mom in eye n tell her about my guy, i had already graduated from uni. same goes for my younger bro. i believe parents should also be very vigilant as to wat their children bring home. i m libral but stil very conservative in some area. no child of mine ll bring anything home that he/she can't defend! when a woman is too demanding n fake, d guy begins to see relationships as trade by barter: sex for money! it is well o! have a blessed day! my regards to ur family!

@OP: CC and exponential has said it al. @guys: wat do u bring to ur relationships apart from money n sex? i m not sayin u guys re not tryin but there is more to relationship than sex and money. perhaps if u guys bring more or don't always want to use money n sex to prove urself/urlove, ur gals wouldn't be so demanding. @gals: pls let respect ourselves n STOP been materialistic! let us learn to be content and live according to our means! i can't understand y a gal ll ask her guy for bb, designer bags/shoes/clothes, brazilian weaves, costly make ups etc because they re unfortunate enough to date us! longing for wat u can't afford on ur own is really been greedy n been a golddigger. please, let both men n women go back to d table n reevaluate wat a relationship is al about n we wouldn't have such threads as this! stay blessed!

@OP: ur NYSC year is largely dependant on how u decide to live it. for most people, this is a time they are really really on their own. it is a time to know who u really are and plan how u want ur future to be. u can also develop urself spiritually, mentally etc. u can also try ur hands on new tins. this is also a time to make impact in d life of people esp kids n teens around u. if u serve in a school, this is even easier. it is a time to also draw closer to God. u can pick up one or two assignments in the local church/mosque n develop urself as u have more time n resources @ ur disposal. u can also make life long friends n business partners. spend ur service year in service to God n man n u ll enjoy that one yr n never wish it to end! take care!

@fresh-dude: i understand ur point. al these generalizations really have exceptions. in real life situations, i don't generalize n i don't encourage pple to. i ll try to get d book n go thru it. i know that nobody is perfect n we re al work n progress n i try to believe d best of everyone til they prove otherwise! p.s. where is d aunty bukky coming from? take care!

@mrs. chima: good morning, ow was urnit? my regards to ur family. have a splendid day ahead!
