With "all" the anger you have exhibited here Auntie, you certainly are not one to preach to any man concerning anger issues. The blind cannot lead the masses. If you want to preach about anger, I recommend you first learn to control your own bitterness and anger. Your feminists views have you grossly disagreeing with scripture and then taking that anger out on man. Obviously you are not going to change your mind concerning seeing the truth. But at the same time, you can talk until the end of time and you are not going to change the mind of any godly man either.
Not done yet? Dis you forget?

Maybe you should, because your attitude and behavior is much like his.
If she is not following the Bible to a tee, then her belief is nothing like mine at all. Not even close. And if you wish to speak on attitude, I suggest you concentrate more on those defying the scriptures rather than my following of them.

That preacher was giving you the absolute truth of the BIBLE in that video. You said he was simply "ranting" on about his own ideas. When the Bible's truth is given to you and you declare it just a bunch of ideas, that is calling the Bible just ideas. There is no placing words in your mouth. That is exactly what you said.
No he did not. He went on and on about his own ideas. I had to keep skipping forward to try to find the Biblical teaching. I couldn't and grew bored with his ranting. He must be a role model for yourself as you speak the same way.

I didn't forget anything. I said she can believe as she chooses. I'm not trying to change her belief any longer. Simply telling her she is not changing any godly man either and she is wasting her time trying.

It is certainly not a misapplication of Scripture but the correct interpretation for the above two verses. I will let the well known Matthew Henry explain this to you:


..And see what sort of people those were that they gained, and made proselytes of; they were such as were weak, silly women; and such as were wicked, laden with sins, and led away with divers lusts. A foolish head and a filthy heart make persons, especially women, an easy prey to seducers. 2. He shows how far they were from coming to the knowledge of the truth, though they pretended to be ever learning,v. 7. In one sense we must all be ever learning, that is, growing in knowledge, following on to know the Lord, pressing forward; but these were sceptics, giddy and unstable, who were forward to imbibe every new notion, under pretence of advancement in knowledge, but never came to a right understanding of the truth...

Seriously… ?? You pervert God’s word to support your theory against women?

You post this excerpt from a commentary by “well known Matthew Henry” as if this supports your own understanding that it’s in reference to women??

This is a letter from Paul (a much more well-known guy ) telling Timothy to avoid men who love themselves, are prideful , unthankful, unholy, covetous, they act like they are fierce and intimidating, but they care more about looking wise than they care about what God wants.

These men seduce and deceive weak, foolish women who follow after them because those women are easily won over by these kinds of men who have a “form of godliness” but in reality they deny God’s power. These men keep boasting how THEY understand the scriptures, not giving God the credit, always quoting scripture, pretending they are becoming more and more wise, while in fact they never come to understand God’s truth.

Matthew Henry also wrote the statement below. Perhaps you might try meditating on treating women with love and tenderness as Henry says, instead of demeaning them with your quoting scriptures in error.

The woman was made of a rib out of the side of Adam; not made out of his head to rule over him, nor out of his feet to be trampled upon by him, but out of his side to be equal with him, under his arm to be protected, and near his heart to be beloved.” [Matthew Henry]

Did you further know that God created women to naturally respond to a man’s kindness and love? And that women intuitively react and recoil from a man who is bitter and angry? Love draws a woman. Hate repels women. God made women that way. Men who love them know that. :eek:

If God designed women in that beautifully unique way, there is no need to try to control her. There is only one reason why a man would want to control a woman. Because he does not know how to love her.

Basically he was telling you that the BIBLE is true, throughout the sermon. That must be what bored you.

Nope. The women are to do exactly as the BIBLE tells them. And the men are to do exactly as the BIBLE tells them also. Those instructions are entirely different, if you took time to notice.

Everybody makes mistakes Auntie. Matthew Henry made a mistake when he said "women are to be equal with man". In many, many ways women are to be "equal" with man, there is no doubt about that. However, the BIBLE is very clear that women are NOT to be "equal with man" when it comes to authority. So, he should have stated that "in most cases" women are to be equal to man, but not in "all cases".

You Auntie, are the one here exhibiting the most "bitterness" by a long shot. That is extremely evident in your choice of words as well as your very inappropriate video postings. Again, you are allowing your anger to take you over, because you do not like the scripture that has been given to you.

So you’re saying you can’t answer the simple questions I posted about the scriptures?

With "all" the anger you have exhibited here Auntie, you certainly are not one to preach to any man concerning anger issues. The blind cannot lead the masses. If you want to preach about anger, I recommend you first learn to control your own bitterness and anger. Your feminists views have you grossly disagreeing with scripture and then taking that anger out on man. Obviously you are not going to change your mind concerning seeing the truth. But at the same time, you can talk until the end of time and you are not going to change the mind of any godly man either.

“Anger, anger, anger, anger,” you keep saying it. Well, out of the abundance of your heart, your mouth sure speaks. :eek:

But seriously, are you able to answer the biblical questions I posted? :confused:

Nope. The women are to do exactly as the BIBLE tells them. And the men are to do exactly as the BIBLE tells them also. Those instructions are entirely different, if you took time to notice.

Here’s the questions again, in case you missed them the first time. Here’s your chance to show everyone how much you know of God’s truth. Enlighten us, o wise man. :)

"Let USmake man is OUR own image.”

Question 1.) Who was God talking to?

If God created man in His own image in the beginning,

Question 2.) Did man ever stop being in God’s image?

"
Male and female created He them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created."

Question 3.) Who were the plural Adam's?

Jesus said, "
Don't act out in anger, turn the other cheek, submit one to another, deny yourself, humble yourself, love your enemies, do not be bitter, do not be jealous of your neighbor, don't lust."

Question 4.) Are you submitting to Christ right now?

If Jesus died for the sins of the whole world, if His blood covers every sin anyone committed...

Question 5.) Who is going to hell?

Question 6.) Are you going to hell?

Thank you for this AuntieAnt

You are very wise. :)
Thank you, sweet sister UnderGrace. :eek: But the only wisdom I've got is knowing to run to God and ask what He means in His word. He doesn't hide the truth from His children, He said ask and He will reveal the truth to us. His truth is simple enough for a child to understand.

It's those walking in their own understanding, their own foolish intellect who are blind to His truth. That's why they keep posting the same scriptures over and over because they have no spiritual understanding. If they did, they wouldn't be so angry, jealous, and vindictive.

It does no good to answer your questions Auntie. I have answered them many many times already, only to watch you ignore those biblical answers. I now am allowing for you to believe as you wish. I am simply saying your anger towards the scripture is very evident in your words. You do not like what God has told you so you are rebellious to His word and very quick to insult those who do follow His word.

It beggars belief. How did Christianity ever survive all those centuries before you came along to crack the whip? You most perfect example of Christian manhood! I stand in awe of your awesome power!

Basically, I know the Bible is true without your preacher man's endorsement and without yours.
If you know the BIBLE is true, then why would you be so resentful towards a man simply reinforcing that fact. Your actions and feelings defy logic.

Here are two very good questions for you to ponder.

1) Why is a man that believes in God's authority structure, clearly written in the BIBLE, considered to be a woman hater ?

2) Why is a woman who does not believe in God's authority structure not considered to be a man hater ?

How about this: What if the preacher was born female, but later became a man?

Anyone that perverted in their mind, certainly has no moral character and does not biblically qualify to be any preacher.
