I feel very sorry for that woman. He rapes her, then marries her and... now he can't divorce her.

These laws are written for men, not for women. Another example of the poor way women were treated as property not human beings.

"You Raise Me Up"

When I am down and, oh my soul, so weary;
When troubles come and my heart burdened be;
Then, I am still and wait here in the silence,
Until you come and sit awhile with me.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

There is no life - no life without its hunger;
Each restless heart beats so imperfectly;
But when you come and I am filled with wonder,
Sometimes, I think I glimpse eternity.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains;
You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas;
I am strong, when I am on your shoulders;
You raise me up... To more than I can be.

You raise me up... To more than I can be.

It is what it is....and don't think that other women haven't said the same thing...It was a man's world...and no matter how much you complain about it now...it won't change it.


Thank God he sent Jesus huh....

It's definitely more about men owning women like cattle.

These stupid laws were clearly written by men. No God would be so sick.

And why do Christians think anything would be differnt in heaven?

If the same God that made all these stupid law for man on earth is the same one who is in charge of heaven then wouldn't it be safe to assume that these same assinine laws would hold in heaven?

Also, why don't Christians today adhere to these stupid laws?

I'll tell precisely why they don't.

Because they know that are stupid laws. That's why!

So they must think God is stupid too then.

A little self-brainwashing there I see.

Clearly you are having trouble keeping the faith and needed to give yourself a little pep talk.

Does this mean that a man may have two wives but he has to have two houses and he can't have sexual relations with one wife in the dwelling of another wife?

Or

Does this mean that he cannot have sexual relations with his wife in someone else's house?

If so, then what is the reason for "one wife" instead of saying "his wife?"

It looks to me like its okay to have two wives if you have two houses.

JB

Ah, but Abra? She'll probably counter with this one (I'm sure new already knew about it):

"The good Christian should beware of mathematicians and all those who make empty
prophecies. The danger already exists that mathematicians have made a covenant with
the devil to darken the spirit and confine man in the bonds of Hell." -St. Augustine

Of course, on the other hand, today's Intelligent Design proponents will probably point to Newton's <I> Principia Mathematica</I> and say, "See! See! Even the father of The Calculus acknowledges Creation Science!"


-Kerry O.

That's because you don't believe in the alien gods who were merely trying to breed a superior race of human slaves and to keep track of their own bloodlines.

You wanna bet it won't change? Women are already ignoring the law about keep their mouths shut. LOL

Thank God he sent Jesus? If Jesus is God, then he is responsible for these laws. Like Abra said, what makes you believe that it will be any different in Heaven? Will you still be a woman in heaven or will you be both man and woman? Or will you be neither? What do you think Deb?

JB

you wish......more like I listened so that I would not



do that.....

She probably has no idea that this song came from New Age composer Rolf Lovland from Norway.

Remember Jesus would not of been able to do his ministry had it not been for women......



The Three Wise Women

You do know what would have happened if it had been three wise WOMEN instead of men, don't you?


They would have asked for directions,
arrived on time,
helped deliver the baby,
cleaned the stable,
made a casserole,
and brought disposable diapers as gifts!

WRONG he only wrote the music


lyrics by Brendan Graham. A student priest among other things....






Good try hahahhahaha

Not to put a damper on your cute little joke, but the truth of the matter is many of the wise outspoken women were killed. This is no joke.

JB

Oh please JB do tell?

"A man must not approach a menstruous woman for sexual relations or in any way to become ritually unclean by her. (Leviticus 18:19)
347."

I hate to keep harping on Leviticus, but there it is again and it bugs me. Okay so that kind of falls in line with the out of proportion fear of menstrual blood. Notice "ritually unclean". Now what are they referring to exactly? I think it might just mean that for a man to get her menstrual blood on his thingy is a bad idea. It will make him "unclean" because of the curse of her blood. Now folks, we are adults here and hopefully have an understanding of the female anatomy and the basic principles of reproduction. What is the shedding of menstrual blood? It is the discarded lining of the uterus that is shed if no seed implants here and begins forming into a child. Once again, there is this vicious attack on a woman's body and the ability to create life.

Another thing, generally women go through a condition known as amenorrhea which is a suspension of the menstrual cycle that occurs after birth for a period of time. Breast feeding will lengthen it. All of these women during the time of Jesus and before then were of course breast feeding. So that means shortly after giving birth, there were no periods for a time after. Therefore, your little claim that this "atonement" was for her own good because she was menstruating doesn’t hold water either.

Would someone please answer the above questions please?

Why should that bug you?

The Bible was clearly written by superstitious male chauvanists pigs who had perverted minds.

No God would be that sick.

It's a sick demented religion based on bloody superstitions.

Where does the Biblical God ever do anything that even remotely resembles was a sane intelligent being would do?

It's all male-chuavanistic bigoted superstitions based on fear and ignorance.

Is that what God is? An ignorant male-chuavanististic pig?

He has men buying and selling women like cattle?

The religions is sick. Period.

What's to answer?

The men who wrote these things were clearly perverts who had their mind in the gutter.

They couldn't keep their mind off sex and so it's all they wrote about.

What a bunch of idiots.
