The proper behavior of a Christian Women.

Are you looking for agrrement or disagreement?
Or are you content simply stating such?

 

I don't think its agreement.......although most will agree because it is the belief of most here on the Baptist board who are Baptist believe that women should indeed keep silent.

Most know my stance on the matter.

 

I do find it odd when people just post Scripture without indication of why they are doing so.

When I saw this last night, I wondered if Mr. Dahlen wanted comment or if something had happened or if this was his favorite passage.

It's his first post -- we just don't know. But since it is his first post, maybe this is as good a way to get started as any

 

Maybe his interested in what you think about it regardless of his reasons for posting it.

I sometime when talking to people quote a scripture without following up with anything and Let their own heart convict or encourage them.

The guilty flees when no one persues

 

I just talked to Jacob Dahlen on the phone...he asked me to post:

Micah 1:8--"Therefore I will wail and howl, I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the dragons, and mourning as the owls."

(just kidding about talking to JD...I may not feed the trolls, but I can bait them.)

 

I find it interesting that it's most often men who are the ones wielding scripture on this topic? Shouldn't we men be first and foremost concerned with what scripture says on the proper behavior of a Christian Men???

 

Alack! Methinks a troll hath posted and hath fled.

 

What humor!!

I notice that it easier for men to be expected to take biblical correction/accountablity from women than women from men.

I know woman that would read the above and respond defensively rather than say Amen, to God be the glory.

 

Is that posting a hit and run play?

 

Amen Scarlett O.!
That was exsactly what I think Mr. Dalen had in mind also.

 

What humor!! </font>[/QUOTE]Thank you, thank you.

I decided to keep my mouth shut on this one for a while.

 

Hmmm....you must post on another board other than the Baptist Board.

Here, discussions like these are all about what restrictions are placed on women. You know, putting a woman in her "place". I can't tell you how many discussions here about women's dress, conduct, cowtowing to her husband, etc.....have nothing to do with God's Word nor His perfect plan for His people.

Oh, you think so? You are right! Count me in brother.

I was immediately defensive. Not at God's Word, but at the presentation of it.

The way that the original poster presented the above scriptures was INTENDED to offend. There was no intention of amicable discussion amongst christian brothers and sisters. Don't you get it?

The OP was intended to get a rise out people.

Peace to you and yours.
Scarlett O.
&lt;&gt;&lt; </font>[/QUOTE]Maybe there is some history regarding this topic that I am not aware between the OP and others. I'm sure you guys will work that out.


You said, these passages were intended to put women in their place... What place is that?

And how did they get out of it?

Why be defensive either way? What is there to defend? What are you defending against?

Do you believe that women were created for men and the both need eachother?

Taz: 1 Cor 11:8 For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; 9 neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

SO Wrote:

Taz: The fact that woman were created for man would include the above things you stated. For the most part I agree with you, but not in contradiction to the facts.


SO:

Taz: Amen That is a woman fulfilling Her role in Gods creation. But I guess I'm not seeing where this is contrary to the fact that "Women were created for men" by God I might add.

Sister, I think you, like most women concerning these things is responding out of fear. What fear? Well, I can only speculate. Maybe that you will lose some type of position or something.

SO:

Taz: So did He need her first? I'll stop. The facts are there, but so is pride.

 

I can't speak for scarlett, (I wouldn't even try) but I see so much male domination and false authority from guys that maybe women that are "defensive" are that way, because they have been treated as worthless in the past..

Some have even used these scriptures to spiritually abuse women into thinking they are less than man.. I understand the verse that says women were created for man the way Scarlett does..

But so many men have taken that verse out of context so that when a man uses that verse some women automatically think they are going to use it against them..

We should thank God everyday for giving us women.
After all, who would be here without one?

 

Every once in a while I have to put my wife in her proper place - right beside me, heart-to-heart, hand-in-hand serving God together!

Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future. She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue. She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness. Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying: "Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all." Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.
Proverbs 31:25-30 NASB
