women and men welcome to answer.

i figured this question would raise some eyebrows, but im not afraid of asking the hard questions no one else will...

now ladies , dont be mad,, if you are a true Christian , you know the truth, not saying a man should dominate his wife but acknowledge her as the weaker one and take his place as the head of the house , bread winner and roll model

mesquite,,,,,,very well answered

kris,,,i read only the bible, no one else has anything to interset me ,, but some good points though

well juddgema, God has told me to stand on the wall and proclaim the truth,
reprove, exhort ,and encourage, with all long suffering,,, if i dont tell it,, who will ,

hottdocke,,,,,very good answer, the man should love his wife as his own flesh, and they 2 work together as one following Christ, but one has to be the final say when a decission cant be made, the man is the head of the woman and Christ is the Head of the man,, and they to as one fleah love one another, and a man should be willing to die to protect his wife and family.

Answer 1

As a woman, I feel that a man is a above a woman. it even states so in the bible.... I believe that God gave woman as a help mate to man, and if a man needs his wife to work, then she should work... look at the majority of Kids/Children today. they are lacking in respect and cannot even be corrected and in this, i have to say, it is because women are lacking in their rolls all together... I agree with you

Answer 2

Using only the bible , is women today over stepping there (their) bounds? Yes, they are in most cases.

are we men to blame for letting it happen? Yes, men have shirked their duty and someone had to carry the slack.

we have granted women the right to murder there own children, and to protest rightous laws by there womens rights,
Women's rights do nothing but put the woman down the the level of a man. Women were on a higher plane than men before the woman rebelled.

women are weaker than a man in strength and emotionally also, (don't bet on that)

and should be led and took care of, are we men becoming more like women. yes, men are becoming efiminate because they will not stand for their own place in the family and in the world.

what happened to the real men? became cowardly.

we have pushed the women out to take care of men,,, never meant to be ... something is so wrong here YEP! Sure is wrong.

AND I AM A WOMAN, 100% woman.

Answer 3

The bible speaks of female leaders and revered women, Ester, Mary Magdalene, Ruth to name a few. These women were not painted in the misogynist light, but intelligent strong, God-acknowledging women.

The bible also says you should love your wife as your own flesh, now how much of a man is already weak without adding all the weakness you ascribed to a woman? The ideal wife is strong where you are weak, as you are strong where she is weak. If she is strong in an area you would be a fool not to take her counsel under consideration and reckless to not consider the impact on her life your unilateral decision would make.
Bottom line is your relationship is subject to both your understanding of the principles of the word. As a the male in the relationship your aim should always be to follow your espoused faith as well as you know how. Her aim should be the same, in doing so she will automatically find herself in-line with Gods will, and you will too. Then it won't matter who is leading between the two of you because you both will be following God.

Answer 4

Over stepping her bounds - no. I think women today are doing what they have to in order to survive (and some times thrive) in this fallen world. As far as men being to blame...in some ways - yes, but not entirely.
When Eve ate the fruit from the Tree of Knowledge in the Garden, Adam wasn't inspecting the animal or doing something else in the garden....he was RIGHT THERE with her. (Gen 3:6 NASB When the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was a delight to the eyes, and that the tree was desirable to make one wise, she took from its fruit and ate; and she gave also to her husband with her, and he ate) He was passive the moment she needed him...and that is played out time and again thru out the ages...so that attributes to it.
There is also the flip side of the coin of a man going w/ strength unleashed causing women to cower and feel only inches high...that is not good.
...as far what happened to the "real men" that is a great question. I think they still live, much like there a wonderful woman to (not all w/ the tendencies that have been sensationalized as of late)

Answer 5

First, I actually do not believe women are emotionally weaker. For example, rage, anger, violence are all forms of emotion. Who are the major sources of these, men or women? Physically no argument men are stronger. Emotionally women are different.

Second, Have you ever read the Proverbs 31, it speaks of a women capable of many things, business, economics, and home care.

Third, right at the beginning in Genesis God made women a compliment and helper to men. The literal translation of "compliment" was "one just like him".

Forth, Galatians 3:28 - Show we are all equal before Christ and before God. Male or Female.

As for the murdering of their own children and protecting them through women's rights... I am not the judge... I will leave you with one final thought... Matthew 5:21,22 - "YOU heard that it was said to those of ancient times, ‘You must not murder; but whoever commits a murder will be accountable to the court of justice.’ However, I say to YOU that everyone who continues wrathful with his brother will be accountable to the court of justice; but whoever addresses his brother with an unspeakable word of contempt will be accountable to the Supreme Court; whereas whoever says, ‘You despicable fool!’ will be liable to the fiery Ge·hen′na."

Well a "real man" is well, as "Christ-like" as possible... Journey Well...

Answer 6

Wow, you are the exact opposite of what it means to be a man.

You are that primitive type that need to subdue women because you can't have a woman love you for your character and who you are.

I bet you miss the whole caveman with a club thing.

It is a good thing that Darwinism is weeding your kind out.

At least that way you can feel some form of "selection"

I have a great idea. How about you move to the Tora Bora region of Afghanistan and find the Taliban. They share your exact same spirit and philosophy.

Answer 7

The Bible also tells slaves to be content but that doesn't make slavery right. I thinks that that is what the times dictated, one of the wrongs of ancient cultures! Women are not always strong emotionally, but neither are men.

Answer 8

Well I am a Woman and believe Jesus went to the cross for all of us, I believe in todays sinful society alot of things are twisted around backwards due to sin, due to seeing everyday violence, everyday lusts, everyday people put God out of thier lives, when they do that sin take over, and yes women as well as men are going to go wrong, it is a corruption of everything, that is why Gods Will needs to take place. That is why we need to turn to Gods Word.

Answer 9

Yes they have,but before you go blaming them you need to remember what the Bible says about a man accepting the responsibility for the household. The reason that a lot of women have had to step out of their Biblical roles is that the men have failed to carry out the roles that God has assigned to them.

Answer 10

It is your chauvinist attitude which is out of step here.
In reading the Bible, you have to differentiate between religious truth & mere cultural custom & opinion.
We see the same primitive attitude today among moslems.
