Bible Was Written By Men for Men

Re: Bible Was Written By Men for Men

I agree with all of the above, but, shouldn't the title be something like: "God commanded male scribes to write the Bible for men?" Just a question, because the phrase "Bible was written by men for men" gives the false impression that the Holy Bible is some kind of a tool invented/created by men to subjugate women.

I don't see how the good Mayor's title could ever give that impression. True Christian™ men don't need to "subjugate" a woman who glorifies the LORD by supporting her God-given role in society.

Re: Bible Was Written By Men for Men

I'm a politican, not a theologian, but the more I study the Bible, the more simply truths become obvious.

One is the role of women in our lives. It is limited.

It is clear the male authors of the Bible did not intend for women to read it. The readers were to be men.

Take the commandment, "thou shalt not covent they neighbor's..." It lists the ass, the man servant, the woman servant and then, tucked right in there with all those possessions is the neighbor's property called his "wife", or "wives".

There had to be good reason God would have the Bible written in this way. I hope women can appreciate their role as secondary to their men gives them the peace and satisfaction God intended for them.

Oh Good, I thought for a moment there that you had gone atheist on us. I was about to pack my bags and call the realtor.

I don't know what's going on right now, but since we rely on our wives for raising our children in a Biblical manner, shouldn't they read it?

During Liz's recuperation, I made her write out specific scripture for hours at a time until it was burned into her head. I pray that it stuck.

If you know the Bible and know Jesus, you already know God intended the Bible for men.

Every time I gave birf, I was thinkin "Eve, you skank ho, I hate you for this!"

But now I done learnt my place so I sit in the back of the church and remain silent.

LaQrundrellia, that you sit in the back and remain silent shows you are taking the first steps toward a fulfilling and interesting life as a Christian woman.

Re: Bible Was Written By Men for Men

I don't know how to get any less ambiguous about women's role in the Church than this:

I Corinthians 14:34-35
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.
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.

Our wives are supposed to sit there with their mouths shut and look pretty. If the serious theological discussions are over their head, they are still not to open their mouths, but to remain silent until in the privacy of their homes, where we husbands will clear up any details which may be too complex for their feeble female brains.

God blessed my wife with a stutter to remind her to keep her trap shut outside the home. It's been real helpful when folks get too nosy about er black eye.

This wouldn't even be an issue if the liberal fools hadn't started persuading women that their feelings were actually thoughts.

Indeed Mayor! This whole "feminist" movement is nothing more than a bunch of disgruntled ladies who have forgotten that the only thing that brings them any lasting satisfaction and contentment is not behaving like men, but behaving like women, the way the LORD created:

And the LORD God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him.
Genesis 2:18

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.
Genesis 3:16

It is the very principles upon which the New Testament Church was founded, was it not?

Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord.
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.
Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing.
Ephesians 5:22-24

The Shunammite Woman, due to her subservience, receives a son the only thing that truly makes a woman happy
(2 Kings 4:8-17)

If it weren't for us broads, you'll would still be in The Garden butt nekked and happy without no farms and cotton so there wouldn't even be no need for us black folk.
