    Women Equality

    I was quoting Tinkerbell's post 168. I will not deny that some women are abusive. Abusive can be physically, emotionally and/or socioeconomic. Likewise some men abuse their wives. However, I have observed that some church folk are quick to call out and reprimand women for abusive behaviour...

    Women Equality

    Most of the monarchs (kings of Israel) were wicked and did the opposite of what God wanted. Throughout history and around the world, there have been plenty of wicked kings.

    The serpent deceived Eve. Adam listened to Eve and ate from the tree that God told him not to eat from. Adam should not have listened to Eve. Adam knew better. Eve should not have listened to the serpent. However, that does not mean or prove that all wives (or wives in general) are deceived...

While I'm not here to debate, there is much debate in the religious community about 2 Sam 12:8 and whether it can be legitimately used to support polygamy in New...
