Re: POLL: Do women have souls?

Wrong:

Exodus 1:5: And all the souls that came out of the loins of Jacob were seventy souls: for Joseph was in Egypt [already].

That is, souls come out of the loins of the father, not the mother.

That verse doesn't mean that the souls were in Jacob's sperm - it just means that Jacob was their male ancestor.

Leave it to you to mangle language like that. So sorry, but "came out of" means "came out of," not whatever bizarre misinterpretation sounds P.C. to you. Also, if souls came from the mother as well, what would be the point in specifying only the male ancestor?

Re: POLL: Do women have souls?

Interesting report, Brother Green.

I tend to think that a squirt of "soul" passed from Adam to Eve at the time of creation, and as a result, when we're all together up in Heaven, Adam's going to want it back. Of necessity, our Loving God will need to save one out of every 350 women. The math gets a little tricky ... but who are we to question the ways of the Lord?

Anyway, True Christian™ women will undoubtedly be given top priority for female salvation, and thus, I fully expect to embrace Sisters BTB and Tali in Heaven. (Sister M&M I'm a little doubtful about.)

Your book was written by men in a society in which males ruled - so of course they would use language that portrayed men as more important than women.
Men tended to have multiple wives, and since inheritance of property was from father to son, they didn't really care which wife was the mother when keeping track of the progeny.

Re: POLL: Do women have souls?

Your book was written by men

...men inspired by God ...

in a society in which males ruled

...as ordained by God...

- so of course they would use language that portrayed men as more important than women.

Then you admit that God's Word treats us as more important than you. There may be hope for you yet.

Since I have electricity and a computer, I guess I must be one of Jesus' elect. As must be every hacker, spammer, and virus generator.

Every square is a rectangle. Not every rectangle is a square. Are you still in the second grade?

I was just following BJ's logic. Not my fault if his logic is flawed.

I have both a soul and a copy of the Bible, so exactly what is it you think I lack?

How much time do you have? I think the answer to that will require a whole new thread and a lot more bandwidth.

Go for it. This should be hilarious.

Re: POLL: Do women have souls?

Sure, you say they're His gift to us now, but what about your sect back in the late 1800's and early 1900's? Judging by how this lot presents itself, I'd be sure to bet that your great great grandpa was toting electricity as "evil" and your grandpa declaring computers as "horrid things." It's funny, since you're using them now, claiming to be all innocent and such, how would your ancestors take that?

Just to satisfy you, I'm going to research what any member of Landover was thinking about computers in the early 1900's.

Hey, here's a time-saver! I already know! They were thinking, "Computers? Those haven't been invented yet."

"Logic" belongs to the Domain of Men™; we ladies ought not be worrying our small yet womanly brains about such matters. Indeed, thinking too much leads to the sprouting of mustaches, and we don't want that, do we? No, of course not! Looking lovely for the menfolk is our duty ... even at our old age, dear.

Follow my advice, and you'll be moving from "Maggoty" to "Marvellous" in no time!

Where did you get that ridiculous idea?

Speak for yourself - I'm not old, I'm middle-aged, and my husband tells me I look damn good.

The "maggoty" moniker was LBC's doing, not mine. I'm quite harpy with the way I look, and the way I think.

Re: POLL: Do women have souls?

Good gentlemen, if I may most humbly state my feelings:

There is that within me that calls to my Creator
And there is that within me that responds to His answering Voice.

I don't know whether this indicates the presence of (part of) a soul, but it does reflect my personal experience--especially on Sundays at worship in the main sanctuary at Landover Baptist Church.

Don't worry, sweet Justina. I'm quite sure if God had to choose the most worthy women to give a soul to, you would be the first in line. Praise!
