The wife is the weaker vessel in a marriage relationship per 1 Peter 3:7, artyiste, that's what I meant, plus, it's well known that Eve was deceived by the serpent, which was a sin. But, sin did not enter the world until Adam willfully sinned by taking the fruit from Eve when he was not deceived at all, he was simply smug and thought that she'd already take the blame for eating the apple and he's be off scot-free. Weeel, that didn't happen, did it? When the man blamed Eve, it was then that God carried out his condition for man, woman, serpent, in Gen. 3:14-19.
... sigh. I actually thought that we could be friends, but it seems that I'm all alone on this website. haha It's alright! I've always been alone when it comes to fighting for what's right, and I will persevere with the help & the grace of God!
Now then, to answer promptly: I find your use of the Adam and Eve account to what we were discussing as irrelevant. And I must say that I somewhat disagree with your interpretation of the account of the fall. It's a very interesting view, but I disagree with it, and your use of it here.
I didn't repeat myself either, I said that Jesus didn't disparage women, THEREFORE, YOU SHOULD NOT EITHER. I ADDED something
And I never did either; I've made it clear that I came against what I viewed as unfortunate behavior on the part of women (of course, I could never mean all women, and anyone who thought I did thought so to the purpose of holding me in a bad light); I've already made it clear that, in men and women, I will always be against what I view as wrong, and I there should be no respect of persons with my judgment.
Are you loving the ladies on c.c. by continuously lambasting them with this 'nice guy' mentality gripe ?????
Now now, this is quite the loaded question. But I answer that I never personally lambasted any woman here, and that my view that nice guys are finishing last is not a personal rebuke to anyone; I never targeted any woman here, yet if any felt sore or grieved because of it, then they can answer for themselves, as I am not responsible for their emotions. If I helped any woman to give up the belittling of nice guys (when it comes to them seeking a husband) for the "bad boy" (of which I've spoken of in my other threads), then I am content with all that I've done. My conscience is clear; I have not sinned against any.
If we can house these 'Love' philosophies in our heart, which is where His Spirit is in us, per Scripture, then, we can then, and, ONLY THEN, begin to understand what kind of gentleness God wants us to have toward women in our speaking out about their tendencies when choosing which men to date.
I understand, but remember, none of what I've said was meant for any of them personally. Now, if any woman had reached out personally and desired my opinion of the matter more perfectly, then of course I would be meek, as every Christian should. Except, I did not meet with any such disposition in the women, but only the harshness of which you accuse me; many of them insulted me, spoke little of me, foolishly analyzed me (their intention was to poison the well), and were quite mean; not all, of course; some were very nice and respectful, considerate and kind (my favorite kind of gal); to these did I reciprocate the same, and to the others I answered directly but respectfully.
A nice guy or not a nice guy, well, a Christian girl is going to consult God, this should be your hope and prayer for them, artyiste.
They will, but, admittedly, many will consult their flesh; what they consider to be the voice of God is actually their female intuition, which is as lustful and carnal as the way we think, GreenNnice. This, I've managed to catch from experience; I have not been in a cave, willingly separate from woman for the past 24 years; I know how they think and consider men. Again, not all, but many.
Your words can be a little edgy , as that is OK for a POST OR TWO, it shows girls on here that you care. But, when you become accusatory and saying that you 'hate' that trait in women of liking nice guys for friends over and over, it's nothing more than disparaging.
I'm sorry you feel that way, but I don't. And of course there's nothing wrong in them being friends; that was not my point-- my point was in pointing out a wrongful view of nice guys among women, in particular Christian women, who carry over the traits of their worldly counterparts and see it as fine; it is not fine, and a true Christian woman will think and consider with a renewed mind, higher and holier than what worldly females feel.
it is just going to both dismay them, not to mention, turn them off more and more and, pretty soon, you will so much of a troll in their 'book,' that they will see your threads as a bridge with only ugliness underneath and won't dare "cross" into your waters.
Well, if they do that, then that's their problem. I cannot but speak what I feel to be the truth; to what my conscience is grieved with, I must disagree with, and act so, wouldn't you agree? Wouldn't you do the same? I believe you would; and if you wouldn't, then I cannot see eye to eye with you.
Then let me follow the intimations of the will of God.
But, be certain, I WILL, and, I will butt you but good, if you continue to disparage miladies on c.c. too much more.
If you do, I will simply Ignore you. Personally, I feel that what the many things that the majority of women have said were not good answer at all, and neither have they purposed to do so (some did, and I am so thankful for them); their purpose was simply to stall the point with useless argumentative answers and complaints, and some with childish remarks and insults. No, I'm not quite done yet.
Like rel said, you seem to be an 'intelligent' guy, so, us your talents for his glory and bloodying your knuckles of a topic that just makes women feel bad and worse and worse is not anything more than abusive. You don't want to be abusive, do you
Again, I am not responsible for their emotions. But your whole view is quite discriminatory; you don't consider what any women do as bad (even if they insult me) but come at me like this? ... sigh. It's so sad that women now how to stick for their own, but men spend the best of their time attacking other men, trying to be the 'knight in shining armor' type to these women. Well, I am no knight; I am no hero, but I am only an adopted son of the living God, and by my Lord I am more than a conqueror. His love is greater than woman's love, and I will forever be faithful to Him in all things, and will never show respect of persons for anything.
