I'm not saying to go back to the old covenant, I'm pointing out how much wiser they were and how much better society was when women weren't puffed up and disrespectful and answering back without fear and how God has stated dozens of times the need of widows and the fatherless to be taken care of in a loving family.
Lord Jesus didn't go around beating people up, that's true. But He did talk about stoning to death;
Matthew 15:
[SUP]4 [/SUP]For God commanded, saying, Honour thy father and mother: and, He that curseth father or mother, let him die the death.
[SUP]5 [/SUP]But ye say, Whosoever shall say to his father or his mother, It is a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me;
[SUP]6 [/SUP]And honour not his father or his mother, he shall be free. Thus have ye made the commandment of God of none effect by your tradition.
Children being killed? Are you going to accuse God of being abusive, cruel or sexist?
Ephesians 5:
[SUP]22 [/SUP]Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
[SUP]23 [/SUP]For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body.
[SUP]24 [/SUP]Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Women who don't submit and aren't biblical need correction, otherwise they are spreading confusion and partaking in the world against godly authority.
Please note, I have never promoted abuse. I am not condoning abusive relationships. I do not condone senseless violence.
I know, abuse isn't.
I posted 4 passages of scripture, and spoke against hypocrisy. It's foolishness to speak emotionally without thinking.
