As taught them like He taught the men during His earthly ministry as The Bible says. Doubtless He explained to them they were soulless extensions of their husbands, a vessel for him to ram his tallywacker into and push out baby soldiers for God. You can be sure any woman Jesus taught was fully, deeply and completely educated by the time our Risen Savior was done with her.

Re: Witnessing

he hid behind some bushes and witnessed her taking a bath at the well.

He left a mess behind and later someone had to pick up the discarded items.

By speaking, of course.

John 4:5-30
5Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.

6Now Jacob's well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.
7There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.
8(For his disciples were gone away unto the city to buy meat.)
9Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew, askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the Samaritans.
10Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.
11The woman saith unto him, Sir, thou hast nothing to draw with, and the well is deep: from whence then hast thou that living water?
12Art thou greater than our father Jacob, which gave us the well, and drank thereof himself, and his children, and his cattle?
13Jesus answered and said unto her, Whosoever drinketh of this water shall thirst again:
14But whosoever drinketh of the water that I shall give him shall never thirst; but the water that I shall give him shall be in him a well of water springing up into everlasting life.
15The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.
16Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.
17The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:
18For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.
19The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
25The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.
26Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.
27And upon this came his disciples, and marvelled that he talked with the woman: yet no man said, What seekest thou? or, Why talkest thou with her?
28The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,
29Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ? 30Then they went out of the city, and came unto him.

And do you have a point?

What's a mater Starfinder, the last explosing wasn't painful enough? You still have plenty of external organs for Jesus to take away.

He waited till she'd filled her water containers.
Then,instead of offering to help her carry them he launched into a 40 minute lecture,completely failing to notice the woman's eyes glazing over after two minutes - not the most observant bloke,JC.

When she headed for home he followed,still yakking & it wasn't until the woman's husband (lounging around doing not a lot,as usual) actually started to listen to JC,that anyone took any notice of the weirdo from the well.

snicker...snicker...lil you're probably more RIGHT than you imagine, love.

Sooo...loves...basically JC wasn't witnessing at all. He was on a tirade blasting LECTURE again. He seems to have done a lot of that. I'm surprised he wasn't stoned to death long before he was strung up on a cross as a common criminal.

The Bible tells us that he was witnessing, so to deny that he was is to deny what the Bible says. And since the Bible is truth; to deny the Bible is to deny the truth. And to deny the truth means to be damned to Hell.

How dare you say that he was lecturing. He was witnessing and we know this to be true because the Bible tells us that it is.

Well my, my Girl Without Pants (snicker, snicker)!! No need to be sooo...ah..forceful and dominate, love.

SOooo let me see if I got this straight (NOT!). Just because a book called the bible says it's so you ASSUME that it is so? How do you know he wasn't lecturing and driving that poor woman out of her mind? I can hear her now whispering, "Please JC, SHUT UP and LEAVE ME ALONE!!" And how do you know she wasn't thinking something along those lines? Oh, that's right, cuz YOUR BOOK doesn't say so, right?

Which sky did that book fall out of, love? Last I recall is that it was written by MEN! It was later edited and changed to fit the whims of the Roman Catholic Church and it is STILL being edited to fit the whims of christian churches today, love!!

No! JC was LECTURING that poor woman and I bet she got sick of him really quick like a lot of other people who had the UNFORTUNATE experience of being near him in those days!!

Chow LOVE!

Yes, if the Bible doesn't say that she was thinking that, then she was not thinking that.

It was not written by men. God wrote the Bible. He told the prophets what to write. But, it is God's words that were written. Yes, the Catholic church edited it, which is why I do not use the Catholic church's Bible. And sure it is still being edited today, but that is why I do not use those heathen versions. King James was told by God what the proper translation should be. God gave the Bible to King James in English. So it is again God's divine words.

He was not lecturing. He was sharing the good news.

Ahhh..excuse me, love... BUT was not King James a CATHOLIC???

That is a (retarded) question that can be very easily answered:
NO.

Re: Witnessing

Um, no. No Catholics involved. Perhaps you've heard of the Church of England?

King Henry the 8th broke with the Catholic Church and started the Anglican Church in the 1530s! King James was an Anglican.

Read your history before you make such silly assertions, Mr/Ms Twink.

Dear pantless one - please explain,using all your wit (roughly equivalant to the amount a hen could hold in it's shut fist) just HOW you know this?

And please don't tell us "because the bible says so."

I second that vote, Lilith.

P.S. I do wish spader had chosen a different username. The current one is only one letter away from something horrid.
