That's because you've conformed to the world.

1 Corinthians 14:[SUP]
34 [/SUP]Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.
Find it in the Law and we'll talk about it. Good luck.

What would it have been like, if Jesus got down from the cross, and started beating everyone? In human thoughts, he had every right to! Think about all he endured..WOW!

Modern women are horrible. I find it staggering that men don't beat sense in to women any more.
What kind of chauvinistic manure this is! Truly written by one who calls himself a man, but is probably to weak to stand as one. While I agree that there are ugly spirited feminists out there who would like nothing more that erase every man off the planet, I have to disagree that all women are like that. All this Zen guy has to do is stay away from the poison females. The rest deserve honor and respect just as this weak man demands for himself. Overall women are really the same as they've always been, nurturers, and gentle, sensitive etc, God's masterpiece

Wow indeed, one of the saddest threads ever started on CC with some very offensive comments.

Remember this..

Genesis 2–3

God asks Adam about his nakedness

God does not blame Adam and Eve for what happened

Adam blames Eve; Eve blames the serpent. Ultimately, Adam blames God
Humans blame and scapegoat others

Yet God/Jesus is the ultimate Scapegoat in Scripture and history




What would it have been like, if Jesus got down from the cross, and started beating everyone? In human thoughts, he had every right to! Think about all he endured..WOW!

Good post. We are definitely to be patient and loving. We have to remember that these women in scripture were biblical and not modern day career superwomen femininsts who don't need no man but love alimony. Concerning "giving honor" I take this to mean looking out for, to guide and care for. I don't believe the women of the bible were anything like the women here.
I believe giving honor to wives as to a weaker vessel means no hitting them nor offending them in return.

1 Peter 3:.[SUP]7[/SUP]Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with them according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.[SUP]8 [/SUP]Finally, be ye all of one mind, having compassion one of another, love as brethren, be pitiful, be courteous: 9Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for railing: but contrariwise blessing; knowing that ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a blessing. [SUP]10 [/SUP]For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: [SUP]11 [/SUP]Let him eschew evil, and do good; let him seek peace, and ensue it. [SUP]12 [/SUP]For the eyes of the Lord are over the righteous, and his ears are open unto their prayers: but the face of the Lord is against them that do evil. [SUP]13 [/SUP]And who is he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good? [SUP]14 [/SUP]But and if ye suffer for righteousness' sake, happy are ye: and be not afraid of their terror, neither be troubled;

So as you say, we are to have patience and love our wives in Christ in that way as He is patient and loving towards us.

But easy for me to say.. I am not married, but I do put my trust in the Lord as my Good Shepherd to help me follow Him even if I had an abusive wife since He carried me through so many situations with my offensive bosses & equally offensive fellow associates. I thank the Lord Jesus Christ for that as He is keeping my confidence in Him to carry me through any other offenses coming my way.

It should be noted that God has used women in outreach ministry and so they are allowed to post in christian forums.

But it is time to discern with the Lord in according to His words why women are commanded not to speak in church. The importance of this should add another line of discernment as to why His gift of tongues would not be manifested in women in church.

1 Timothy 2:[SUP]11 [/SUP]Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.[SUP] 12 [/SUP]But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.[SUP]13 [/SUP]For Adam was first formed, then Eve.[SUP]14 [/SUP]And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

I get the reference that because Adam was created first before Eve, and since he heard the commandment not to eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, whereas after Eve was created, she heard that commandment from Adam, man was to receive the word of God first and pass it on to the women. The fault in the fall of man was that man listened to the woman as referenced above.

Again, we get that referenced below as being a commandment from the Lord.

1 Corinthians 14:[SUP]34 [/SUP]Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law.[SUP]35 [/SUP]And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.[SUP] 36 [/SUP]What? came the word of God out from you? or came it unto you only?[SUP] 37 [/SUP]If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.[SUP]38 [/SUP]But if any man be ignorant, let him be ignorant.

There is more.

1 Corinthians 11:3But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

Ephesians 4:15 But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

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.

Why was it a commandment since the fall? God said so.

Genesis 3:[SUP]16 [/SUP]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.

Now les any husband or pastor as a husband thinks about abusing his authority over the wife.... do remember this;

Matthew 25:[SUP]40 [/SUP]And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

AND...

1 Corinthians 7:[SUP]32 [/SUP]But I would have you without carefulness. He that is unmarried careth for the things that belong to the Lord, how he may please the Lord:[SUP] 33 [/SUP]But he that is married careth for the things that are of the world, how he may please his wife.[SUP]34 [/SUP]There is difference also between a wife and a virgin. The unmarried woman careth for the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and in spirit: but she that is married careth for the things of the world, how she may please her husband.

Finally... in closing....for the godly husbands

Ephesians 5:
[SUP]25 [/SUP]Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;[SUP]26 [/SUP]That he might sanctify and cleanse it with the washing of water by the word,[SUP]27 [/SUP]That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish.[SUP] 28 [/SUP]So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.[SUP] 29 [/SUP]For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church:[SUP]30 [/SUP]For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones.[SUP] 31 [/SUP]For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.[SUP] 32 [/SUP]This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church.[SUP]33 [/SUP]Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband.

That is the order and decency of things as to why the Lord commanded women not to speak in church.

And since that is His commandment, then that is NOT the Holy Spirit manifesting tongues without interpretation in women in church. God does not break His own commandment. That is another line of discernment for tongue speakers, both male and female that defends tongues without interpretation, to take it to Jesus at that throne of grace and pray normally, asking for wisdom & discernment over this tongue which comes with no interpretation.

Again, as a reminder, God uses women in outreach ministry and as missionaries & so they are allowed to edify in christian forums. May God cause the increase this day.
You have been reported to the MODS again, for creating yet another divisive post, that made another poster stumble and essentially state debating women into submission is perfectly ok and the Bible backs it up.

You created the thread and should take ownership of the comments made by Zen. In any event, you have been reported to the mods...

Can't beat sense into anyone. Not a criminal, a child or a housewife. That isn't how people enlighten or grow.

Jesus is still Lord, brother, even if you succeed to get me banned.

I do notice no correction by the scripture coming from you... nor any refutations of the scripture in the OP as applied.

Is that all you have to offer in this thread is citing that you have reported me.... again? Where is that christian love?

Ephesians 4:[SUP]12 [/SUP]For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ:[SUP]13 [/SUP]Till we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ:[SUP]14 [/SUP]That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;[SUP]15 [/SUP]But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:

God's O.T. commandment. When will you accept that you are wrong?

What I find hurtful about beatings....I was raised in a family that did not give verbal instruction, until after the beating, as if I was suppose to know everything already. I even obeyed, and got beatings. My mother would tell us younger kids, as she was a single mother "Listen to your older brother, or you will get it!" My brother would lead us into sinning by commandment, and with "You heard what mom said!" Than when she got hold of what we did, we got beat. Than she noticed whippings was not effecting some of the kids (They would laugh), so she started smashing all of us younger kid's heads together, or against walls. She even put knives to my throat, and threaten to kill me or us. It drove me to rebellion, not correction!

You keep getting proven wrong. And people keep liking your posts.

How much more simple can it be? God corrects people through hardship / chastening, to make them better.

Proverbs 22:15
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him.


Proverbs 23:13
Withhold not correction from the child: for if thou beatest him with the rod, he shall not die.


Proverbs 23:14
Thou shalt beat him with the rod, and shalt deliver his soul from hell.


Proverbs 29:15
The rod and reproof give wisdom: but a child left to himself bringeth his mother to shame.

Colossians 3:19 - Husbands, love [your] wives, and be not bitter against them.

Ephesians 5:28 - So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself.

1 Peter 3:7 - Likewise, ye husbands, dwell with [them] according to knowledge, giving honour unto the wife, as unto the weaker vessel, and as being heirs together of the grace of life; that your prayers be not hindered.

Is beating a child OK?
Why does this character simply admit he's wrong and apologize? Given the power of words, this can never be a joke.
McGee is right...He's hurt, he's bent and he's stubborn

I'm sorry, Zen... I don't care how many scriptures of a rod you post. I can post more about love. Love isn't hitting someone to change their behaviour, love is kindness and love is nurturing. Modern women, as you say, aren't going to change by a broken nose or black eye. They will change from their husband's love.
People like my post because I understand the pain humans create for each other in this world; which is why I'm 25 and eager to be elsewhere than Earth.
People like my post because it has empathy, not cruelty.
