i feel so confused and hurt. i am fine with the whole women not becoming minister, however my aunt my quiet little one day day in church felt God tell her to open her mouth and the preach.
i am happy to be humble towards a man however, i am not going to be his slave/servant. for eaxmple if I am to rely on my husband to teach me the bible why shud i read it and also what if he is wrong. i need to pray

This is one reason why the scriptures teach us not to be unequally yoked. A godly man knows from the scriptures that if God blesses him with a godly woman, he must cherish her as Christ cherishes the church and he is not permitted to treat her as a slave by the Lord. A godly man ALSO knows that you must obey God in the event the man asks you to do anything that is contrary to scripture.

I don't see anything that says you should not read the scriptures anywhere in the Bible. On the contrary, it says that we are to study to show ourselves approved.

There are layers and layers of scripture regarding these things. If we abide in them and by them, things will work as God has planned…if not, we end up with a world full of miserable people in miserable relationships, needlessly fatherless children, and lonely, hurting people. Like now....

I think it's a pretty good topic for discussion, and I think it's a shame that many people link a Godly marriage in Christianity to a "civil union." For one, it distorts the image of Christianity and it's doctrines to the public. It makes me wonder how "gay marriage" is bad because of God's word but the porn industry is legal and growing stronger by the day. It makes me question what does that show us about people's overall understanding/education on God's word and it's application?


buuut, I'm not going to start the new thread because I'm relatively new. Noobs starting those types of threads in their first few days is again my forum code of survival ^^

I don't know which thread you were reading, but if you were reading my post, there's been quite a misunderstanding. Christian marriages are "marriages", as God (who gave woman to man before the law came into being) is part of the union. Marriages that do not include God I consider to be "civil unions", as they are in name/by law only.

Not sure how we jumped from women in ministry to gay marriages to the porn industry either... I would rather focus my attention on the things God said we should focus on: whatever is lovely...noble...pure...

Seems like for each topic discussed in this thread the answer is the same. Jesus told it like it was. He didn’t water down His message to make it more palatable to the world (or for His followers if we don’t like it). If we are truly His followers, we don’t have the privilege of pleasing the world or ourselves by diluting the Word. It says what it says.
