Men who feel threatened by the success of women are real men. A real man wouldn't at all feel threatened. On a personal level I like to be submissive to the guy I'm with on some level. Career wise the sky is the limit for me.

There are good things in the bible but you still keep the bad things in there and many Christians still choose to follow them.
You do understand that this is all meant to be gods law? How can you just ignore the passages you dislike as "by flawed bad men" how do differentiate? Are you a spokesperson for the lord or something?
Jesus condoned slavery (and he is god), he also said that the old testament was not wrong.

The entire purpose of Jesus comming was to denounce those old laws, and ways.
The not eating pork, burnt sacrifice etc. basically the mosaic laws
Think many of you all will findJesus very unlike what youre idea of most christiants are today

the whole point of free will is for us to understand that when we act without God we make stupid decisions. |
But if God wanted us to have total free will, then why did he feel the need to influence us through literature?
Surely total free will would mean that your thoughts are unclouded by any context whatsoever, after all.

I think the opposite.
Women are simply able to do stuff better and in less time.It's human nature...
A women's world would be a better place.

When jesus came he recounted many of those practices and denounced them. There are countless practices in the old testament no longer practiced by christians today.

Colossians, chapter 3, verse 22:
"Slaves, obey in everything those who are your earthly masters, not with eyeservice, as men-pleasers, but in singleness of heart, fearing the Lord. Whatever your task, work heartily... "

I am 100% for women having their own careers, being CEO's and industry bosses but when it comes to marriage I think the man should be the head, and leader of the family. A big reason so many marriages fail today is because many women are trying to take the place of a man, when two heads of power exist in marriage they constanfly butt and it doesnt work. Both spouses should respect one another, and hold highly each others opinions, however on major decisions I believe the woman should take the stance of her husband and support him. In the bible it's clearly stated, and in real life it works, marriages like these where women are subservient tend to be more successful. Also men find a submissive woman FAR more attractive than an assertive one  , as countless surveys have proven.
So what do you think? |

Uh if I remember correctly, a lot of the people who contributed to the Bible claimed to have received visions from God or some sort of message from him.

ooh it was written by men. clearly that makes it invalid  i'm sorry but that's what you're making it sound like.
and i'm sorry, i don't agree with you. the Bible is a reflection on history, that's where you need to realize that things discussed that you don't agree with aren't necessarily a reflection of the Christian lifestyle. slaves were also servants (not in the same slavery aspect you're thinking i mean), servants who had masters and Jesus also said to serve them as they would serve God and we are so not slaves.
back then slavery wasn't the same as it grew to be, people chose to be slaves because they needed the money. back then it was simply a term for servants. that's what he meant.

Well free will comes at a cost does it not?
God loves us and with the bible is communicating to keep us in line to one day be with him.
And technically it was the first sin that created free will

This is not true, his purpose was to die in order to free humans from the blood curse god placed upon us all because one woman ate a magic apple on the advisement of a talking snake.
The best way to know about Jesus is to read the bible.
Matthew 5:17
"Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have come not to abolish but to fulfill. Amen, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest part or the smallest part of a letter will pass from the law, until all things have taken place."

I'm just hearing more people problems.
Like, if someone else misinterprets the Word and then tries to force that on you is that God's fault or theirs?
Just saying, a lot of earthly problems like the one you're saying are completely avoidable.

Therefore everything from it should be taken with a grain of salt.

His death was representive of that
His death symbolized a reconciliation between God and man through blood.
it comes down to Christianity vs Judaism, jews base their faith purely on the old testament. Christians however follow the teachings of Jesus as read in the new testament.

I believe it's up to everyone to determine how seriously they want to take the contents of the Bible and if they're willing to go to hell for not taking them seriously enough.
Jk I'm not even a believer.

Jesus's death didn't abolish the old laws, it gave us another way of salvation. you might not practice everything 100%, but as long as you believe Jesus died on the cross to pay for your sins then it doesn't matter what you've done -- you can be saved.
i think that's what the poster was saying.
also keep in mind, some laws were made with the intention to help the human race grow. for example, pork could be infected with diseases so back then it was forbidden. nowadays we can clean our pigs more thoroughly of any bad influences, ergo we don't necessarily have to follow THAT law and it certainly won't send us to hell for not doing it.
