I guess I got off easy on my punishment although having my daughter was a little painful but well worth the pain as she is a wonderful daughter.
You know, anytime I attempt to break my jadedness about marriage i get stopped by the thought of a woman giving up her current life to be with a man and starting over...(disclaimer, I am divorced so it would be a remarriage for me) To me, it almost seems kinda wrong lol The more I think about marriage, the more impractical it seems for me. I have already had children. At this point, I don't see the need for marriage. In Ephesians 5, it talks about the basis for a biblical family and how to raise your kids up properly in Christ. If I remarry, this woman would not be their mother. It would already not be a true representation of what Christ intended the family to be. It almost answers the question if someone should re-marry after divorce....
People are single for many different reasons and not all for negative reasons. There was nothing in my response that was an indictment of all singles. It was directed at one specific single man and his dark ages mentality who was lecturing “others" about women and "their" role in marriage . . . Which is why your unfounded judgements of me are not only wrong, but comical.
My original post was sincere. I was sharing the sentiments of many singles here on CC, but our good friend became defensive rather than addressing the legitimate concern that was raised. And the next time you want to chastise me with a hypothetical, try PMing me instead. You'll gain much more of my respect.
Would someone be so kind to show me in Scriptures where the punishment given to women by GOD has ended?
Gen_3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee.
This is a Punishment That God gave to women for eating of the forbidden fruit.
So then my question is, WHO changed it? Who said that women are equal with men? Who said the husband WILL NOT rule over them? Who said the punishment has ended for women?
i find it interesting that those who start threads like these talk about the "responsibilities" of a wife and the "rights" of the husband,
but they never talk about the opposite.

So go ahead and call me male chauvinist, or a chauvinistic pig, or whatever else you want to call me to make yourself feel better, but it will not change the TRUTH of God. Woe to this generation for the women have become men, and the men have become women.
IF God said Husband will rule over the wife. Satan teaches "NOT SO" Women are equal to men. Satan will teach contrary to what God teaches. If God says "Wives obey your husband in everything". satan will teach contrary "Wives you do not have to obey your husbands" Now in this wicked (last days generation) Women wear the pants and men just do whatever their wives say to do "or else" satan has turned this world around, and now women rule over their husbands.
But now you have NO excuses. i have told you the TRUTH, if you do not live by what the Scriptures teach, then you are living by what satan teaches. Sugar coat it all you want to, but those who continue to NOT live in the Word of God, will NOT be taken up with Him when He returns. You have been warned.
Let the stone throwing begin.

The title is misleading. It does not pertain to the body of your writing. Thats all I have to say as far as this OP concerned.
It is crystal clear this thread is to start a fight .
Threads like these re so obvious.
You may have done a good thing by writing an edifying thread about the position of the husband to love as Christ loves his church.
Instead you choose to misinterpret the word RULE.
I see the spirit behind your perverted interpretation..
and alot of folks would like to take OUT of the Bible the parts that appeal to them the most
A lot of men would like to punish women..
Jesus told them to stop it
He became a curse for us on the cross
yeah, the world still reels from sin, but God offers a new way
Agreed. Many take OUT all the parts that God had established for women from Adam and Eve. Many take OUT all the parts how a husband is treat his wife as well.
[/SIZE][/FONT][/COLOR]
True. Also a lot of women would like to punish men.
Jesus taught to Love One Another
This is True, but has nothing to do with the topic at hand. He becoming a curse for us, does not negate the Word of God, it does not negate how women are to treat their husband nor does it negate how husbands are to treat their wives. God set up order from the beginning. My Boss at work is no better than i am, but i know he is my Boss and i do what He tells me to do? Does that make me a slave? Heavens no. Does that make me less than my Boss? Heavens no. But he is my Boss and i do what he tells me to do. Strange we all obey our Bosses at work, but don't obey husbands at home, which God instructed to do. Willing do what our Boss tells us to do, and we are not Slaves. But if we obey husbands, then we are slaves and we can't have that.
Again the NEW WAY does not negate how husbands and wives are to treat each other. The NEW WAY does not negate the Word of God.

You clearly know that you're starting a controversy, and I hope to end it before it gets ugly.
God's words to Eve were not a punishment. They were a statement of certain consequence. There is a massive difference.
They were a statement of certain consequence.
Because they were not a punishment, the question of if and when it ended is irrelevant.
Adam and Eve broke God's one commandment. As a result, He told them what the consequences would be: hard work, painful childbirth, thorns and thistles, and power-hungry men. The punishment is death.
Jesus broke the power of death by His death. The consequences of sin continue in this life, and are finished at our physical death.
