Do you agree with the bible????

Question

I was told the bible says a women should not chose her children over her husband because her chilkdren will grow up, leave and start their own life and she will have to continue life with her husband. . . .but i think a woman should be a mother before being a woman. . . i want to know what you think. Thank you.

Answer 1

ACT 7:37 This is that Moses, which said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear.

Answer 2

I think a woman and a man if they have children should be both. There is no reason the two can not go hand in hand. I would like to know of where in the bible it says this. Like I said people can and should be both, and their partner should know when to not feel rejected because the mother or the father comes out in a person, but be glad that the other person is doing what they should do, that is being a good parent. If the husband was a good husband and father he would understand that she can not be there as his slave every minute, and if they do not have kids and he acts like that or if she acts like that, then don't have kids, work on the marriage or get a divorce!

Answer 3

I'm not sure exactly what part of the Bible you are referring to, but I personally think that (assuming that the parents are not separated) the best way that a mother and father can be good parents it to be a good couple. This means that you put your spouse above ALL others, including your children. If you want your children to have healthy relationships (and in turn raise healthy children when they grow up) then the bes thing you can do for them is set an example of a healthy relationship for them with your spouse.

Additionally, the strong couple will be a better parenting team: meaning that they will be better parents if they are parents together than they would as individuals.

Read for yourself Ephesians 5:15-6:4. It goes over the roles of all members of the family.

Answer 4

The husband comes first. If there is no stability, trust respect, love and partnership you cannot succeed as a parent. The initial relationship and commitment was to the husband. The children came later. The Bible is very clear about a marriage being of extreme priority. Being a good wife, makes you a better mother. A child needs both role models. God intended it that way.

Answer 5

The children are *far* more important than the husband. Why?

Childhood is the most important developmental phase in life and children should be given every opportunity to benefit from it as much as possible. Most important is learning how to live and love with a minimum of shame and guilt, just to name two crippling childhood diseases. Producing children with this ability is not easy work and demands great attention and discipline from both parents - especially the mother.

Outside of this line of reasoning, remember that the bible is a guide, not an instruction manual. And that the message of Jesus' love in the new testament supercedes the OT's more fear-based vision of God.

Answer 6

Darlin, the bible was written by men for men to control women. Of course it tells you to bow down and obay anything a man tells you to do. Your children should come first. A child is innocent and cna't take care of themselves but a man should be grown and have enough sence to act like it.

If a man was beating your child or sexually abusing your child would you turn a blind eye just because your book tells you to. No real woman worth her salt would. Your children should always take presedence over all others for after you are gone, they will be your only legacy, no matter what you physically attain in this life. They will be what keeps your spirit alive in their and there childrens memories.

If you aren't a good and loving mother to them then when you are gone, no one will remember you or miss you. Be thankful you have children. I can't have them even though I would love to. There are so many who have them and don't care for them. People who would rather attend to there own desires and leave there children in neglect don't deserve them.

Love your kids and be thankful you have them. There are so many like me who can't have them who desperately want them.

Blessed Be

Answer 7

I don't know what other people decide - but as a Jewish wife and mother - and it happened in that order - I always put my husband FIRST - however, this does not mean that I did not love my children. I did and still do love them very much. My husband has since passed away!

Answer 8

I need to see the verse and read it in context with what the Lord is saying. People say all kinds of things about the bible. I believe it to be the word of God. I also think the bible gets mis-read and mis-understood. I think being a mother is a big responsiblity, and if ever the husband was causing harm to the wife or children, seek a church for guidance. God Bless!!!

Answer 9

You have a lot of answer here so I will be brief.

I don't think anybody on the face of this earth should live their life based on a book. Any book for that matter. Use what it has in it as a guide and thing more.

Answer 10

A house divided against itself cannot stand.
1. First seek the kingdom of God and everything shall be added unto you.
2. Align yourself with your spouse.
3. Raise your children together in agreement.

Answer 11

Whoever told you this was either lying or repeating hearsay. The Bible says no such thing. It says, that if a believer is married to a nonbeliever and the nonbeliever is willing to remain married, they should stay together, but if the nonbeliever is the one to leave, let them go.

It also says in another place, that a man should leave his parents and a woman leave hers, and they become one flesh. This means they should put each other first over their birth family, and that in-laws have to take second or third place. But it doesn't say any such thing about their own children.
