Do you really want a woman who is like Jael? She was a woman of GOD.

[JohnB]

When I say I wasn’t a biblical wife, what people think I mean: I want a wife who is passive and subservient.
What I really mean is: I want a wife who is totally willing to drive a tent spike into a tyrant’s head should the opportunity arise.

Judges 4:21 “But Jael, Heber’s wife, picked up a tent peg and a hammer and went quietly to him while he lay fast asleep, exhausted. She drove the peg through his temple into the ground, and he died.

The women could say: If you can’t handle me at Judges 4:21 you don’t deserve me at Proverbs 31.

When I say I wasn’t a biblical wife,

Well, I hope that you weren't ANY wife.
But, (hopefully) we know what you want(ed) that to say.

 

[NotmebutHim]

Well I would dare say that the woman described in Proverbs 31 isn't exactly docile or demure either. I tend to think of her as similar to Queen Esther, Abigail or Lydia.

That scene from the Bible always makes me laugh or cheer. You have to know the context.
I've trained very feminine, beautiful women in use of weaponry. It makes me feel better to know that they are safe should I not be nearby to protect her. (Volume first)

I meant want. LOL

Well you wouldn't want her to treat you like Sisera.

Not saying it’s impossible to find what you’re looking for, but women typically aren’t very physically violent. At least not to the point of hammering a tent spike through someone’s skull with such force it exits their skull and goes into the ground. That sounds like a killing of passion to me. I imagine she would have had to hammer the spike many times. It was overkill.

Is that the kind of person you want to share a house with?

It is to be taken with a sense of humor.

My apologies I saw it was in the Bible Discussion forum and was thinking you meant it seriously.

Sisera teaches us a good lesson-- when people are seeking your life, don't drink something and get hammered.

Man, I've never been happier to be out of the woman hunting business than I am right now.
