Guys,
One of the sentences from the “ridiculous sex” posted above and the picture of the hens club meeting set me off and reminded me of the Bible verses below. Here is the sentence:
“No one has the right to make choices for you but you.”
Now I have to tell you I am a Christian (not a minister and not an expert at this), but just like all of you I have suffered the problems all of you have with women and agree with almost everything I’ve read from the brothers on the forum and commiserate with all of you and your experiences. But since we are all in this together, I thought the following might be of interest to some of you and that I should share it with you. I know that not all will appreciate this so there is no intent to offend. I just want to provide another viewpoint.
The verses refer to the role of women in the church and since we are supposed to live Godly lives, it seems like it should apply to our daily lives as well. To me feminism is in complete violation of the direction below. Since the feminists are in complete violation of that direction called out below, that is all the more reason for us to stay away from them. In our current culture we cannot correct or teach them and not be condemned. Best to just stay away. I hope this is of some value to you.
Particularly note verses 7 through 9 below in 1 Corinthians 11 and also 1 Corinthians 14:33-35 below. Keep in mind that women were formed from one of Adam’s ribs and thus from man. Man was formed by God from dust.
6. The New Testament Church—The Role of Women
1 Corinthians 11:3-10 But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ. 4 Every man who has something on his head while praying or prophesying, disgraces his head. 5 But every woman who has her head uncovered while praying or prophesying, disgraces her head; for she is one and the same with her whose head is shaved. 6 For if a woman does not cover her head, let her also have her hair cut off; but if it is disgraceful for a woman to have her hair cut off or her head shaved, let her cover her head. 7 For a man ought not to have his head covered, since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. 8 For man does not originate from woman, but woman from man; 9 for indeed man was not created for the woman’s sake, but woman for the man’s sake. 10 Therefore the woman ought to have a symbol of authority on her head, because of the angels.
1 Corinthians 14:33-35 For God is not a God of confusion but of peace, as in all the churches of the saints. 34 Let the women keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak, but let them subject themselves, just as the Law also says. 35 And if they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home; for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.
