If you were taught that the "Biblical role" of a woman is to be a wife, a "help-meet," then you received theological teaching/training that was not a faithful representation of God's love and purpose for His daughters. If you were taught that the woman was created "just" to be…
What a perverted, sad, misunderstanding of Jesus. Jesus cared about more than our spiritual state, although that was His highest priority. That’s why he healed the sick, and fed the hungry. Michelle’s belief is far from the heart of God.
Jesus did not give a shit about "powerful" or "oppressed". He only cared about an individual's relationship with God. Period. End of story. You sick idiots trying to use him as some virtue signal for your political opinions would probably get you the whip...from Jesus.
”For those with ears to hear.”
Either Jesus is true or the authors of 1 Samuel and Numbers are true. Jesus came to reveal the true nature of God. God does not command the killing of infant babies or keeping virgin girls as sex slaves. Inerrancy makes you defend a God that looks nothing like Jesus.
Amen! An excellent word from Beth!
Two things: 1. There are certain answers we’re never going to get from God in this lifetime. Things we are never going to be able to make sense of or understand. 2. YET, walking closely with God means, when questions rage and roar in our chests, we keep asking them. We bring…
"One of the things that is so difficult about growing out of much of the Evangelical mindset is realizing how much wasn’t just wrong thinking, it was that what was taken as “Biblical” and “ideal” is actually malformed and harmful." Link Below
There are many cultural affectations within the patriarchal culture that existed in that place, at that time. That does not mean that we are bound by those beliefs. When God created Adam AND Eve, He declared that His creation was GOOD, created in HIS image. In Psalm 139 we read…
There are parts of the Bible that suggest women are in some way bad, or at least lesser. Paul seems to think women exist to serve men because men were created first. The Torah says women who give birth to girls are unclean for twice as long as those who give birth to boys.
Yikes! Interesting (and perverse) thing to say about God’s daughters. And no, the Bible doesn’t “kinda allude to this.”
Women, overall, are evil. Think the Bible kinda alludes to this
What is your favorite part of summer? Mine is eating watermelon!!
Amen!
Some people believe that Jesus is subject to the Bible. That is the opposite of truth. Our beloved Bible is subject to the living Jesus who sent the Holy Spirit to guide us in all truth.
Why is ignorance always so condescending and arrogant?
Oh OK so you're illiterate. Maybe get a man to sit you down and read the book of Timothy and explain it to you.
“Christianity is not a set of doctrines to oppress, but a call to liberation through the radical love that breaks every chain of human bondage.” — Creative Ministry
It is a WAR CRIME to deny food to starving people, like what is happening in Gaza. And the world stands by and allows it to continue.
Here is the crux of much of what is wrong with “Christianity” today… basing your faith on a book, rather than Christ.
If your religion doesn't start and end with the Bible, it's false.
