Yet by the Grace of God and the Advent of Christ all sin is forgiven...

Therefore God has returned to women the same as he originally gave...

Equality with men...

Hmmm If I remember rightly the Bible states.
HUSBANDS LOVE YOUR WIVE'S AS CHRIST LOVED THE CHURCH..

So if my husband had loved me instead of abused me then i would not have had to take any authority over our household.

Since the money he earned went to drug and alcohol abuse, I clothed and fed our children,
Since he failed to pay bills, I earned the money to do it.
Since he decided to bash one of my boys we left.
Since he wasn't there to be a father I took on both roles of Mum and Dad.
Yes i can cook and clean, I homeschooled my 6 children and worked from home,
Now I still work full time and raise the 4 children who are at home.
All of my children are well adjusted and loving. The two older both have good jobs and a stable life.

Despite the fact that i rule our home. There lives have been better than if we had stayed under the rule of a domineering worthless man.

So basically if men hadn't been such doodle heads we wouldnt have had to do anything.

Now after saying all that, I love men and would have loved nothing better than to have been a good little wife who stayed at home, was looked after and could spend my days caring for my children and not having to worry.

But life as it is isnt like that and people always twist things to spoil something that should have worked fine if everyone was fair.

This is direct from the Bible: “So God created man in his image; in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.” - Genesis 1:27

There are two versions of the Creation in the Bible; this is one of them. The second explains the fall of man and ejection from Eden. As a result of which God strips woman of her equal status and places her under male domination thus: “To the woman God said…You will be dependent on your husband and he will lord it over you.” (Genesis 3:16)

Therefore, female emancipation is an aberration. :-)

I prefer animals to people.

From a Christian aspect,
the act of kissing is not wrong, in and of itself.
It depends on the intent.
There are many reasons for kissing.


The bible mentions the kiss of love,
the kiss of reverence,
the kiss of adoration and homage,
the kiss of peace and reconciliation,
the kiss of holy joy and delight;


A woman had so much love and adoration for Christ,
that she kissed his feet.

Luk_7:45,
Thou gavest me no kiss:
but this woman since the time I came in
hath not ceased to kiss my feet.



Apostle Paul and Peter encouraged Christians to:

Rom_16:16,
Salute one another with an holy kiss.
The churches of Christ salute you.

1Co_16:20,
All the brethren greet you.
Greet ye one another with an holy kiss.

2Co_13:12,
Greet one another with an holy kiss.

1Th_5:26,
Greet all the brethren with an holy kiss.

1Pe_5:14,
Greet ye one another with a kiss of charity.
Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus.
Amen.



and, on the other hand there are other types,

we read of the kiss of idolatry,
the kiss of hypocrisy,
of deceit, of the traitor, and the like.

Judas betrayed Jesus Christ with a kiss.



Then, there is also kissing that incites sexual stimulation...
outside of marriage will lead to physical sex...or mental.

Of which Jesus said :
" But I say unto you,
That whosoever looketh[[[much less kisseth]]] on a woman to lust after her
hath committed adultery with her already
in his heart."Matthew 5:28

All people are created equal...Roles are now interchangable, if you can identify moral degeneration, you can do what needs to be done to change it just as well as a woman can...Responsibility for how children "grow up" is (should be) equally shared by mother and father...Light a torch into the future....Let the past fade into memory to be used as a guide, not a template, for progress...If men had not treated women as unequal, the need for emancipation would be mute....

How is empowering women doing more harm than good?..Illiteracy, poor health, inferior wages will only hold Uganda back....Embrace women's emancipation, it is a good thing and long past due....

What chapter and verse is that exactly? I think that's from the New Modern Man's Version right?

God created man. He made them male and female.
The male should cater for his family; but the females have taken all the jobs.

Don't you think that we should start with, male domination and oppression being the villain causing female emancipation being necessary to some degree? For anyone to have to fight for equal rights would mean that there was an unbalance and abuse of power to begin with.

Women emancipation has done more harm than good.pliz, I'm not against the women.

totally agree!!

And you know all the women in the world and have taken a poll of what they wear????? Because I think you missed some in the Middle East who wear burkas and will be stoned to death for exposing skin.

Maybe it was the 99.8% of us women who you forgot to poll....

Don't make assumptions, please.

Oh yes, us 99.8% like to run around with everything hanging out,lol

Please cite a Bible verse that forbids kissing before marriage.

Uh, when Chuuma said, "these guys passionately kiss", I believe that he was using the word "guys" in a gender-neutral sense.

As for the claim that it is a sin for a single man to passionately kiss a single woman . . . such a claim needs to be supported by biblical evidence.

The last time that I checked, kissing is not sex.

Interesting subject. I would say it's a sin. They aren't just "kissing" eg., peck on the lips, on the cheek maybe, or anything like that. You said they were "passsionatly" kissing. A passionate kiss is leaning more towards sexual. Not the rawr wild buckwild kind, but the passionate love making kind. But anyways lol, yeah I would say it's a sin for two males to "passionately" kiss.

It appears to me to be a cultural issue, because nothing in the Bible forbids it.
