1) Men and Women are equal.
Mary is a theotokos meaning "Mother of God"

Luke1:43
Why am I so favoured that the mother of my lord should come and visit me.

2) She's the new Eve that liberated women from mental slavery.

3) Angelo is a greek word for an Angel meaning "Male"

Luke1:28 Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with you - Angel Gabriel saluted her.

I'm sure 21st century man would tag Angel Gabriel an effiminate.

4) Mary was far recognised than Joseph in the bible.
Going by logics you guys are applying here, I guess women are above men? Mtcheew

5) First woman was created out of a man rib and that made her a weaker vessel - existing men and women were formed through the fusion of male and female gamete not any darn ribs.

6) I'm a Catholic not a protestant. A woman actually wrote, "The Book of Susanna" i.e Deutorocanonical book(s). grin

7) Emperor Constantine was a misogynist that he had to remove the gospel of Mary Magdalene.

These matters are serious
Twisting /adding or deducting from the scriptures is not a light matter .
There is history behind the bible. Christians need to understand this fact. Words were translated from hebrew to greek then to english. Words lose their original meaning after going through translations.

Oh you agree, we are making progress. There is always epidural. grin
and the christian women who have no access do such or who are poor to afford such should do what?

When one is cursed, you do everything within your power to break out of such curse. grin
No sane person would continue to live under a curse. grin
this isn't a curse placed by a witchdoctor or a herbalist. it's a divine curse by God for the consequences of the disobedience in heaven. the sins of thy father shall be revisited on thy 7th generation.

Now the question is should I live under a curse or return to God's original plan? You guessed right, I am returning to God's original plan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Woohooooo grin grin grin tongue tongue tongue tongue tongue cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool
God's original plan isn't an option.
even virgin mary nearly died in bethlehem while giving birth to christ. she screamed & grunted cos she had to serve the punishment placed on women by God.

Is the arch-angel Gabriel a male or a female?

And if Angelo simply means male, are you implying there are no female angels?

there are no female beings in heaven!
God & his angels are all males. Jesus is male - the bible never documented that he had böobs.

the more i searched, the more i am convinced that females have no part to play in God's kingdom. perhaps they would be kept outside the pearly gates as gardeners. grin

I understand exactly what you mean but while you pick and choose one that is for the good of everybody, some people choose the part of the bible that teaches them to be violent and wicked towards other people.

Arch-angel Gabriel is a male.

There were no female Angels but two women in Zechariah5:9 called Nashiym(woman) though they had wings.

If the main message of Christ is love your neighbor as yourself, what makes Christianity so special then? Just asking.

Laozi, Buddha, Confucius, even Mohammed preached "love" Before any of them, there was love.
So, what's the deal ?
Nothing is the deal.

If I was born buddhist or Islam, I would probably be here talking about how Mohammed or Buddha Has the message of love and life.


It is the religion I was born into and which suits my conscience. So no deal.
I don't think mine is more special than anyone else's.
Re: Why The Modern Woman Is Sad by crackhaus: 10:44pm On Apr 14, 2015
There was always a hierarchy even before the curse, what's this I'm reading here about God's original plan?

Organization and orderliness has always been part of God's nature...even in the heavens, there exists a hierarchy.
On earth, the same.

Oh.
Ok.
How else do you understand the parts where war was waged on neighboring countries and children killed to make space for Israelites to expand?

Is there a different spirituality to understand that such is violence and was sanctioned by the (prophets) bible who spoke for God based on what they understood?

Weren't those real events and not mere words.

Ok there's a different way to understand those parts but it is fine to interprete verbatim the parts that say women shouldn't teach in a gathering of men? grin classic.



If you won't kill your neighbor for cursing God, I rest my case. smiley

pickabeau1:
If you believe those you mentioned are the authors of the bible
No need for further debate

I only picked that point to correct the error

The bible while written by men was inspired by the Spirit
It is the word of God and anyone who removes or adds to it causes a grievous sin

Read the bible with understanding rather than focusing on the letter

I would not sanction violence
The Bible States that all souls are His and he wants not the destruction of anyone

That's why I said you should read with understanding

You refer to the time under the Law where every transgression led to death or propitiation by sacrificing livestock

Christ's death was the sacrifice which ushered in the dispensation of grace

Thing is you're missing people on the internet are real people. Hence also real feminists. (OR that in the age of social sites, what happens on the internet is often faster influencial in many areas than what is reported via other means.) So in many ways you're just following a very out of reality logic.

Cococandy knows fully well that not everything in the Bible is prescriptive for Christians. Coco is well aware of the the distinction between the moral and ceremonial laws of the OT, and the commandment to love God and neighbour in the new.

Coco also knows that loving God means keeping his commandments - as laid down by Christ and His apostles, and that loving your neighbour does not mean endorsing their every action.

But Cococandy, like many of the other soi-disant feminists around these parts, struggle to reconcile their progressive inclinations with their love for piety grin! And so like to form like they have equality in their relationships.

But as I've pointed out before

1. No human intimate relationship is ever egalitarian - note we touched on lesbians having the most violent relationships.
2. Women do not want men they can't look up to. Ultimately they won't respect them, cannot love them and won't be happy to stay with them.

So we either have lots of Femininists married to Betas or we have Coco wink!

Feminism demands equal rights to the opposite gender in all aspects, even socially, and that's where the family institution comes into play. The basis of feminism boils down to women overcoming oppression and discrimination but also women having the choice to do things that their male counterparts can.

A feminist that doesn't vote in a particular election would not lose her feminist card, would she? We want the choice to do whatever we want with our bodies, we want the choice to education, we want sexual freedom.

Telling women what to do goes against the core of feminism since all we do as feminists is tell the society not to dictate what we should do as women.
I am not saying we would not side-eye a feminist that chooses to let her husband be the head in the family but we cannot debate it because she has a right to do so and we want to champion freedom, rights and choices as feminists.

The feminist that spoke against Beyonce never said she wasn't a feminist, she only called her lukewarm and that is what a passionate feminist would do because she can't defend her point otherwise.

Make friends with feminists in real life, it helps you understand how we think.

What has Mary got to do with this?

Why am I so favoured that the mother of my lord should come and visit me.

2) She's the new Eve that liberated women from mental slavery.
She is the vessel though which God became flesh. she was a fulfillment of a prophecy and is forever revered for that. Anything else you wrote up there is false. Women are not under any form of mental slavery. But you already knew that.


3) Angelo is a greek word for an Angel meaning "Male"
It's angelos, and the greek interpretation is "messenger". Stop breeding false information.

Luke1:28 Hail Mary full of grace the Lord is with you - Angel Gabriel saluted her.

I'm sure 21st century man would tag Angel Gabriel an effiminate.
Yes Angel Gabriel saluted her. She was imbued with freewill and yet she chose to take on the task of bringing the Son of God to the world for the salvation of all mankind. She would encounter sorrow, ridicule and pain. She chose to do all this and in admiration the angel hailed her and called her blessed.

Nothing effeminate about that.

Ok there are moral and ceremonial laws in the bible.
What's immoral about a woman teaching in the church? We agree it is one the ceremonial laws that's based on culture.

Thank you.

You just helped me make my point. wink

As for your other points, at the risk of sounding like I'm insulting you, I will say that is naive. No offense.

Does everyone woman want a man she can look up to? Goodluck answering that with facts.

Do you believe temperaments and personality override any societal norm of intimate relationship dynamics? I believe so.

Which is why I believe that even a woman who claims to not buy into feminism can be the one wearing the pants in her relationship because she happens to be the one who's more aggressive (for want of a better word) than her partner.

I for one I'm an example of a lady who always has a strong opinion but would let things slide for peace to reign in any place I find myself Especially with my friends and my family.
Does it mean I'm doing it because I'm a woman and that's what God wants me to do? Nope.
If anyone tries to play that card with me, they will meet stiff resistance because if I bend, it will always because I chose to bend and not because someone says I have to.

1. That some lesbians have violent relationships can hardly be taken as a measure for all lesbians, logical fallacy there.
b. Why are you so fascinated with oh them exotic lesbians anyway? They're just women and I doubt they'd want either of us in their lives. They manage without men just fine.

2. Looking up to a person isn't a proof of one gender being above the other. It's a proof some people recognize the personhood of others fully, and strive to improve themselves, but hardly it points to any flawed superiority theory you're postulating here.
