My wife is out of control. You would think after 32 years she would learn. Well, this morning she got up at 4:30 to shine my shoes, and I expect the coffee made by 5. I sat down for breakfast, and she brings over two fried eggs. I looked at her in my usual stern manner and said, "I told you last night I wanted one poached and one fried." She said she was very sorry, and would correct the mistake. A few minutes later here she comes with a poached egg and a fried egg. I looked at the eggs, looked at her, slammed down the dish and yelled, "YOU FRIED THE WRONG ONE."
Donna, it is a joke. No need for mini sermon #254.

My Bible teaches me the woman is the purer of creation and the weaker vessel, this does not ever indicate equality.
maybe you can provide your resources for making this claim? -
By the way, Jim 1999 has forgotten more resources than you could learn in a year. -
Seriously though, thanks for the laugh. -

The word, purer, is only mentioned twice in the KJV and it’s not in reference to women. The word, pure, is mentioned 95 times in the KJV. Most of it is talking about pure gold, ointments, candlesticks, and other material objects.
A few places mention pure as in “God’s word is pure” (mostly Psalms).
Then there are a few admonitions from Paul to Timothy and other to keep themselves pure.
I can’t find where the word pure is talking about women.
The Bible does say that husbands should treat their wives, giving her honour as unto the weaker vessel. But that isn’t the same thing as meaning that she is a weaker or weak vessel.
Just as wives who are charged to respect their husbands "as unto the Lord", does not mean that her husband is the Lord.
Just food for thought, brother. -
Wow, I haven't been on this site in months. I have been struggling with my christian walk and needed to be in christian fellowship and this was the first thread I came accross. What happened to the christians? To think that women should only be educated in household duties, child bearing duties and cooking/cleaning duties and how to please her man duties is being a Neanderthal! It is so sad... And I agree, a "Christian College Education" for women really is no education at all. Most Baptist women would flounder if their spouse were to die. They don't know how to survive in the world, or take care of finances, or anything else, but they sure would know how to cook and clean and raise a thousand babies!
I will no longer look here for Christian Fellowship, I do believe this site has been raptured and all the christians have gone home! -
It is a full moon tonight. -
That may be so, but it is things like that, that has turned my head away. I see it in my own church. I se these women who in the church are highly reguarded, but if something were to happen to their spouses they would be lost. I know we are not to live secular lives, but I believe women should be educated, not just cherished, loved, adored and be taken care of. That is all good, and teh Bible says a man should do that to his wife, but the fundamental church in my opinion really wants their women stupid. I see it all around me. It is very sad, and I wonder if that really is the way God intended for women to be. Maybe in Biblical times, but times do change and even God knows we are to change with the times in some respect. Still living seperate lives, but women need to be educated. They need to know how to pay bills, how to look for a job, how to interview, how do function at a job and support a family. How to be provider, mommy and daddy. Daddy may not be there forever, God may call him home at any moment. This is what I see around me.

Think about Deborah the judge.
I tell Christians that they should be all that God wants them to be. Most leaders are educated. I cannot think of any societies whop have uneducated people who are leaders among man and among women. Being educated gives not only knowledge but resources unavailable to the person who is uneducated or not very educated. -

My wifes fits the description you made, but one thing you've left out, all our things are paid for and she already has been provided for.
I guess you forgot some men obeyed the word and made preparations for just the very thing you decry as the ultimate failure of following Bible principles.
The problems we have in society today are easily traced back to a home where mama worked and the kids were left wide open to the world being raised by the public school system.
The public school system today is anti-God and anti-everything to do with Christianity, but certainly does not hesitate to teach islamic acceptance.
Maybe you're too quick to judge and only from the surface? -
Do you blame the decline in biblical literacy on the public schools too? -
The problems with society come from the lack of preaching against sin. We're having problems in our church with people shacking up, fornicating, our youth group is turned into a "Christian dating service"( which fornicating is the result) multiple adulterous affairs. All this is due to sin and the laxidaisical approach to preaching against such. Do we have Bible teaching? All the time. The problem is nothing is "hammered" except "GIVE! GIVE! GIVE! so others might hear the Gospel and be saved!"
The public schools are presently teaching socialism and anti-Christiantiy with a muslim influence. Do you deny this? -
Granted, they aren't being taught Christianity, but I do that at home and supplement it with teaching at Church. -
They are presently being taught that our history was a lie and are changing it to fit their ideas. Socialist/marxist ideas. -

Mr Garvey,
One of these days you are going to post on a subject that shows some comprehension on your part. -
