Is this sexist or what?!?

[xchairity_casex]

let me first say i AM a christian a full fledge christian who loves God and has a strong relationship with him.
secondly im not trying to change anyones views on God.
and also let me bring up a few things

does NO christian realize that the bible was NOT written by God himself? but written by MEN.

men back in those days seen women as lowley so of coarse they are going to tell women they need to be submissive towards men and they are to serve them.

of coarse men are going to write the story that THEY were created first and women came from them becuase they are the more physically powerful of the sexes what about mentally?

WHY is God labeld a MAN? ever wonder? why would God be labeld any gender? gender is determined by hormones and organs. God has no flesh how is God a man?? why? becuase God chose a women to deliver jesus? what like he would have picked josoph???

now im not saying EVRYTHING in the bible is a lie i think alot of its spot on BUT you really need to think about what your putting your faith in.
do you honestly belive that God would want Men to live better then women? really? why? why would God hate women so much? we are as much apart of God as any man. WE ARE EQUAL WE ARE BOTH EQUALLY LOVED

Society of the times had alot to do with the writeing of the bible we are only human God speaks to us everyday if you listen why not instead of listening to society listen to God? i refuse to listen to preachers or the bible if i have a question i stop i sit quietly and ask God what the answer sometimes i cant hear God well and things are cloudy and i dont fully understand so i do the very best i can knowing what it is God wants from all of us to be happy and content to not worry,to put our love and trust in God to help bring happiness to others lives.

i just wish more people could see that. it makes me sad how many atiests are out there becuase of how many people nearly worship priests and other holy men think they know all that they are close to God sure they should be respected but so should everyone we should all have respect for everyone and becuase of that theres alot of cooruption becuase were all only human even "men of God"

i dunno maybe im wrong maybe im right but i just cant imagine God wanting us to be so miserable in our daily lives.

Say 'yes sir, daddy' and do what they tell you to do. Life will be simpler and easier for the time being if you do.

There are many ways in which you can be a good Christian, without being 'subservient' to your husband in the way people are talking about. There is no evidence that Jesus wanted women to be shut up inside a house 24/7, not able to express their feelings, to not have their needs and feelings taken into consideration, to not be respected or considered when planning, to not experience this beautiful world of ours, or to not get an education and not gain knowledge and skills that can be used to help others or one's own future family, whatever form it may take.

Remember that Jesus never told parents to show favoritism to male children when planning educational, recreational or social activities, or to deprive their female children of experiences or knowledge that would make them more competent, safe and secure in the world.

Jesus never fawned on males or insisted they were more privileged people. In fact, when a sinful woman was about to be stoned to death, he told the men, 'let ye who are without sin cast the first stone'. Those who judge others and provide less for them, would be sinful to Jesus, who truly seemed to find more comfort and a more attentive ear, among all those shunned by society and viewed as 'less'. In fact he said that the least of us are not really so least!

Never forget that you want to be your own person, and take steps now - good education - good grades, plans for your future career and security - that will allow you to be as independent, and as in touch with this beautiful and marvelous world of ours as you can possibly be.

Don't forget your ideas and values. Keep them close to your heart, and do the best you can now, to very quietly keep them alive.

Hang in, Tani. I will not express my feelings out of respect for your parents. Right now it's their rules, but you have a good head on your shoulders, and you know what is fair and right. Their house, their rules but remain a free thinker. You have the support of all who like you.

Thanks everyone. *sigh*

 

[welsummerchicks]

You'll be alright. The important thing is to understand yourself and what your values are.

I am a Southern Christian woman, and hubbo is the boss. If we are one, then one cannot have 2 heads. He makes the final decisions. But, he respects me and my opinion, and we talk over everything. Because of the way that I treat him he respects me, and has me on that pedastal that God wants me to be on, as a woman, a wife, and a mother. Proverbs 13.

And you said something about "them shouting you down"? If you weren't being loud, you wouldn't need to be shouted down. You really can get alot more of what you want by being humble than by yelling. Try it.


Verbal abuse in 3, 2, ok, go ahead!

Don't think you should be abused!

You said you hubby listens to you and respects you -- you communicate. And, yes, when talking with someone, you set the tone by the way you approach them.

Oh, I am so sorry! I live in chronic severe pain and my husband is my biggest support I have and he is very caring! He never expects anything from me ever! He is gentle and kind. He takes great care of our children too, even before I broke my neck. I'd never in my life "submit" to any man. It is very wrong! I feel awful your parents feel this way.

im just wondering why God would decide that men are so much better then women that we need to be "controled" by them? that we should have no say in our own lives? if you have children would you make your son run your daughters life and decide what she does and doesnt do? would you think to yourself "well my son and daughter are both the same age but i think he should be the one to say what ym daughter does and doesnt do with her life its better for her that way" no? we are Gods children God loves us just like any parent loves there children why would God feel this way men are no more smarted or mentally stronger to temptation then a women is.

it just boggles my mind how women can honestly look at themselves and think "God my creator belives im lowley and not as good as any man"
including rapist and murderers even though a man who is cruel molests children,rapist and hurts people the bible is telling you those men in prison are better then you and you belive it. i cannot imagine that God feels very good about this.
