Femminity ?

[WeStand]

I was just wondering where it is that the females fit into all of this?

Considering that when studied, one finds out that they are the true hero's of the OT.

I'm just saying, that with all this debate about the Father and Son, and reffering to The Holy Spirirt always in a male context; It just seems to me that the ladies sure get the short end of the stick.

Its what scripture teaches, its not sexist only man himself would use it that way. Both male and female are made in the image of God. In status equal yet function differently.

"Can a woman forget her nursing child And have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, but I will not forget you." - Isaiah 49:15

God is like a mother too!

 

[Agricola]

Read the Gospels again and pay attention to the women's roles, especially when Christ interacted with them directly. Christ liberated women and put them on equal footing as men, rather radical and dangerous for the culture and laws of the time.

Is that the image of God or the image of Us? I think its both isn't it?

lol, well they are fashioned from a part of man, but that does not mean made in mans/male image. I would say God's only.

 

[phil36]

Genesis 1

So God created mankind in his own image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.

I think I get it, your saying God has a split personality?

Common sense shows that men and women are incomplete without one another but find their physical and spiritual completion in marriage.

[h=3]Overview of the Masculine-Feminine Polarity[/h]

• Essentially, the masculine side comes from a place of strength. Strength is at the top end of the scale, whereas weakness is at the bottom end. In contrast, the feminine side comes from a place of goodness. Here, goodness is at the top end of the scale, whereas badness or evil is at the bottom end.
  
• You develop the strength of the masculine side by having a deep belief in the value of your own life, and you develop the goodness of the feminine side by having a deep belief in the value of the life of others.
  
• The balance between the masculine and feminine side is very important. If you have too much strength for the amount of goodness you have, you can really do a lot of harm to people. Conversely, if you have too much goodness for the amount of strength you have, then you can do harm to yourself, because you tend to "give it all away".
  
• On a more physical level, if you have a strong masculine side, you have the ability to take control of your own life, and if you have a strong feminine side, you have the ability to let go of trying to control the lives of others. A strong feminine side keeps you from interfering with the choices that others have the right to make for themselves.
  
  Understanding the Masculine and Feminine Side.
  
  Matthew 19:12
  For there are eunuchs who were born that way, and there are eunuchs who have been made eunuchs by others—and there are those who choose to live like eunuchs for the sake of the kingdom of heaven. The one who can accept this should accept it.”
  
  James 4:4You adulterous people, don’t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.
  
  
  
  
  
  
  

 

[HeRoseFromTheDead]

GOD is both male and female. Don't forget that wisdom and her sisters are described as females. Male is the head, female is the fulness. Christ, the head, marries Jerusalem (our mother), the fulness.

 

[starfield]

A tree has branches, leaves, roots, etc., and all the components of the tree are equally important but have different roles. Likewise, male and female are equal in value before God but there ought to be distinction in gender roles. Paul even taught male headship in marriage which is founded on love. As for why male pronoun is used for God, I don’t think that matters since God is spirit.

With Christ as the bond, I totally agree

Most all of us experience Love, and to me Love is kind of crazy and causes people to do things that are not of common sense.

I believe that is why Our Father who IS Love, loves His Wisdom soooo much; because love is pure, love is trust, and love is being fair; But when that love is taken advantage of; well, a lot of us have experienced that too, and its not pretty.

Is Our Father Perfect? well from my studies I would most certainly say Yes! in Fairness and in Creations; but when it comes to emotions, I gotta wonder.

I know that with His Wisdom He is perfected; and I say this because, Wisdom has much to say for herself in the book of Proverbs.

She mentions of knowing of Our Father, and was amazed at His Creations. However she also mentions being extremely nervous of meeting Him; because when He is antagonised and blows His cork, WHOAHHHH! she got scared of Him.

She says that whatever He was creating would just cease to exsist, and it puzzled Her as to why He would do this.

Then after meeting Him in a classic love story, of Her being in danger of consumption and because She knew of Him, called out to Him for help and thus the rest is history.

But here is the thing that I get out of all this; and it has to do with repentance; from my studies, The Word is as sure as the #1 law of science, that you cannot get something from nothing.

This is where I believe that repentance actually began; when Our Father met His Wisdom, and She asked Him about this fits of rage He had from time to time that She had observed; asking Him, why is it sometimes, that when your making these wonderful creations, you sometimes lose it and destroy them.

He explains to Her how that He cannot stand un-fairness and that's what makes Him blow His stack.

She then understands the problem and advises Him that there is a better way to handle this; FIRST get ALL of the good stuff you created out; then destroy it, then you won`t feel so bad about it.(Repentful)

This should go over like a lead balloon lol

I think a man must get in touch with his feminine side, to understand "bride of Christ"
and that a woman must get in touch with her masculine side, to understand "son of man"

well you have to remember that women are not as logical or intelligent as men

while we debate theology they are more interested in knitting patterns

Matthew 19:5and said, ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh’?

John 17:11I will remain in the world no longer, but they are still in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, protect them by the power of your name, the name you gave me, so that they may be one as we are one.


That is called Holiness.

Maybe it wouldn't hurt for the ladies to take that short end of the stick and use it wisely by adding some posts in the female context for discussions.

Truly I tell you, wherever this gospel is preached throughout the world, what she has done will also be told, in memory of her."

On my thread concerning Genesis, the extent of your "debate" was
that I'm just a nut job not worthy of any sort of intellectual response.
Yeah, you're a master debater, brother.
