I am against women as leaders in the government and the church, and I am against women in combat. That isnt sexist. But I suppose you all are for women preachers aren't you?
Okay, maybe I was wrong. That seems a bit trollish.

Okay, more than a bit.

No women have to shut up in church just like Prisca from Aquila or the prophesying daughters of what's his name or Deborah.

I don't find you to be trolling young Colt, and I think you're right on a lot of things that are not too popular to say in our time and society, at least if the Bible is true. One thing to remember though; with greater power comes greater responsibility. There's always a greater burden put on leaders whether its the husband at the head of his house, the boss of a company, or the king of a nation.

This is a good topic for that. Nobody wants a gold digger, but the man must provide for his family or he is worse than an infidel. It is a pretty hard times to be a man, young or old, but that's just another reason why God's grace is good.

I understand that people are going to have different viewpoints and will take passages from the Bible to support them, but when men say, "I don't believe women should do this! I don't believe women should do that!"

The next thing I'm always expecting them to say is, "I don't believe women should give birth!" And at that point, I want to agree.

I came to this party late, but I'll respond to seoul's post (post #34):



I think the reason for this is not that these women are not appreciated, but that there is a double-standard in what women can say vs. what men can say and not get into hot water.

If a woman says "I thank God for all the men (on CC or wherever) who appreciate a woman for more than just her body and who don't objectify women and who do or don't [insert favorite stereotype here]" it's okay and she will not experience much fallout.

However, if a man says "I thank God for all the women (on CC or wherever) who are not gold-diggers and who are appreciative of other things a man may have to offer than and who do or don't [insert favorite stereotype here]" he will be seen as misogynistic.

It will be taken as a slam against womankind.
It will elicit such responses as "wow! I'm sorry you experienced whatever it was that hurt you so much that you think all women are this way!" or
"Perhaps if men in this society stepped up, then women wouldn't be so focused on..." or
"You seem to have such a low opinion of women. I feel sorry for the one who ends up with you."
And he would be given many arguments as to why women are not the way he described.

because basically, it's a back-handed compliment. The man would be seen as not praising the women who are demonstrating the admirable quality, but rather, slamming womankind for not.

So why can a woman say the things above, but a man can't. I dunno...why do any double-standards exist?

Cat,

This is really interesting--thank you very much for your insight. Maybe I'm a bit naive but I didn't realize men feel as if they'd receive a backlash for trying to say something supportive.

*sigh* It's a sad, sad, world, isn't it?

@GodisSalvation, I agree with you on that. However, men were put in the position of Leadership, and since most men today have failed in that field, the women have taken it upon their selves to leader, which is not what God wanted.

I agree, it is one of those problems that is a self-defeating downward spiral. Men become less manly so women become less womanly. Wives no longer are submissive to men so husbands lose all their respect. Men are not respected so they give no respect and so women get maltreated. The elders become foolish so the children become rebellious. The children become masters so the wisdom of the elders is ignored. It is such disorder that precedes the fall of many households and nations.

Isaiah 3:12-26

[SUP]12 [/SUP]As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths.
[SUP]13 [/SUP]The Lord standeth up to plead, and standeth to judge the people.
[SUP]14 [/SUP]The Lord will enter into judgment with the ancients of his people, and the princes thereof: for ye have eaten up the vineyard; the spoil of the poor is in your houses.
[SUP]15 [/SUP]What mean ye that ye beat my people to pieces, and grind the faces of the poor? saith the Lord God of hosts.
[SUP]16 [/SUP]Moreover the Lord saith, Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet:
[SUP]17 [/SUP]Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts.
[SUP]18 [/SUP]In that day the Lord will take away the bravery of their tinkling ornaments about their feet, and their cauls, and their round tires like the moon,
[SUP]19 [/SUP]The chains, and the bracelets, and the mufflers,
[SUP]20 [/SUP]The bonnets, and the ornaments of the legs, and the headbands, and the tablets, and the earrings,
[SUP]21 [/SUP]The rings, and nose jewels,
[SUP]22 [/SUP]The changeable suits of apparel, and the mantles, and the wimples, and the crisping pins,
[SUP]23 [/SUP]The glasses, and the fine linen, and the hoods, and the vails.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]And it shall come to pass, that instead of sweet smell there shall be stink; and instead of a girdle a rent; and instead of well set hair baldness; and instead of a stomacher a girding of sackcloth; and burning instead of beauty.
[SUP]25 [/SUP]Thy men shall fall by the sword, and thy mighty in the war.
[SUP]26 [/SUP]And her gates shall lament and mourn; and she being desolate shall sit upon the ground.

GENTLEMEN (Colt and God Is),

Please note that opinions about the places of women is not the topic of this thread.

It's great if you'd like to discuss that topic, but you need to create your own thread in order to do that (or, if you like, we can ask the mods to move your posts to an new thread title that you create), but that is not the subject at hand here and this is not the thread in which to discuss it.

Thank you for your cooperation in advance.

In fact they have plenty of threads discussing this very topic over in Bible Discussions Forum. :cool:

You'll find a lot of people who agree with you AND a lot of people who argue with you. BONUS!

Normally I don't have a problem with people derailing the threads I write. It happens all the time and can turn into some interesting discussions.

But Colt made a very clear post stating his intention was to fight, and this is simply not appropriate.

Sure, fights happen all the time. But if I can do something to stop an attempt to stir up contempt on purpose, (especially in my own thread), then yes, I'll ask the mods to please consider intervening if I have to. As Lynx said, there are hundreds, probably thousands of other places for this other topic to be discussed and even subscribed to.

@Ugly I think you just over stepped your bounds.
Funny, the kid not even old enough to buy cigarettes is saying it's a mans job to dominate women, says it is women that brought sin into this world and has a number of adults with more experience and knowledge than he does, but talks about others overstepping bounds.
Tell me, how much psychology experience do you have to say what overstepping bounds are? I think you attitude and mentality oversteps a number of bounds and is dangerous. And history backs my concerns. So you if you expecting me to take a step back, i haven't even begun to start stepping.
And, despite your weak attempt to judge, i don't not agree with female pastors. So you can take your sinful, accusing attitude and keep it to yourself because i just proved that wrong.

Im not trolling, Im just not going down without a fight. Second, I might not even get married.
If Colt is specifically looking to fight, he's purposely looking for people who disagree with him (yes, Lynx, I know that's obvious :) but your post made me smile, so I had to quote it :)), which is, indeed, the very definition of trolling.

Colt, if your purpose is to argue, I can't stop you.

I am just asking you plainly to not do so in this thread, or any of the others I write, as I'm not shy about going to the administrators to ask if there is something that can be done, and as soon as possible.

Reasonable discussion is always welcome. Online bar fights need to be kept at the bar (or in church--sometimes it's hard to tell the difference.)

I have female pastors in my family. They have been greatly used of the Lord. My great aunt along with her husband pastored a church of over 600 people for years and years until his death.They were both licenced pastors.

I would love to hear from the ladies out there (single or married) who AREN'T after a man's money--maybe we can encourage our gentlemen here and let them know that there are women out there who will be interested in who THEY are, not what's in their wallet.
i'm not after a man's money. i work. i have my own. it's not much, but it's enough for me. :D

my boyfriend told me how much he makes after we became a couple. i already liked him because of his character, not his income.

Sorry lady seoul, not meaning to digress too much from the topic. I think it is a good topic though for the pondering. I think the disorder in the role of men and women in our society is interwoven with the subject of gold diggers. I would opine the issue of gold diggers isn't so much an issue of the money itself, but rather respect and order.

The female gold digger doesn't actually respect the man, she just respects money. The gold digger woman eschews to be subservient to men, she will only be serve the man if bribed. If I take away the man's money, the gold digger will fly far away.


This also applies to men. Some men are gold diggers too, perhaps it's more of a problem in my generation than others. They look for a "sugar momma" as it is called in the streets. Typically a much older woman. These men shirk their role as men and leaders for worldly wealth gain and so there is disorder. It is not uncommon for these types of men to cheat on their sugar mommas and do all sorts of Jerry Springer stuff. It's because they don't actually appreciate the woman, they just want her bling.

When things are thrust out of their place there is disorder and when there is disorder there is a cacophony and all the problems that come with it. When everything is in its place there is order and when there is order there is harmony and all the good things that come with it.
