Misrepresentation and denigration are the default response of those who cannot refute your position with sound exegesis and logic. ;)

Your opinion of what this chapter says is not supported by the text.

Who are the "them" in this verse? Please back up your response with Scripture.

If "law enforcement, law groups, child and other advocacy groups, the military, etc." are "shepherd organizations" then we also have wolves in shepherd's clothing. Sadly, many police and military organizations, child advocacy groups, etc. are corrupt and wicked to the core. I've dealt with the...

With respect, you're dead wrong on this (bolded). It leaves you with the ridiculous dichotomy that you either live a perfect life after repenting (and that means not even having an errant thought a single time) or you're a profligate sinner. Reality is much more complex, and sanctification...

What a ridiculous and ignorant assertion! Prior to his conversion on the road to Damascus, Paul WAS a Pharisee. He did not continue practicing their errors! Rather, he followed Christ only, therefore we are NOT instructed to be the imitator of a Pharisee but of a man who follows Christ...

There is no scriptural evidence for this claim. " When the woman saw that the fruit of the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye, and also desirable for gaining wisdom, she took some and ate it. She also gave some to her husband, who was with her, and he ate it. " There is little to...

It's not a matter of "refuting"... at this point. To refute your argument, I'd have to know what you're attempting to say. When you try to connect passages of Scripture that are not otherwise connected, you are left with a mess that doesn't mean anything. You might think there's a connection...

And the angel on his right whispereth unto him, "Thou wouldst be wise to speak plainly," but the deceiver on his left sayeth loudly unto him, "Thou shalt make thy reason and diction most convoluted, that thy readers may thinkest thou wise and learned." And desiring to appear wise and learned, he...

Hello and welcome to CC! What you're wrestling with is the age-old "problem of pain". Why, if God is both good and powerful, is the world still broken? The answer is simple but not easy to digest. God created a world that was good but had the potential to become bad. Because of Adam's sin...

Perhaps you could add a few words of your own to explain your point?

So you must think that a man doing the same job as a woman should be paid more than the woman simply for having a Y-chromosome. What a backwards and disgusting attitude you have.

No, Adam was not given authority over Eve. Eve was told that, as a result of what she did, her husband would rule over her. It's a statement of certain consequence, not a statement of authority. Look at it this way: why would God, Who is good, give now-sinful man authority over anything, let...

Actually, I generally stay out of threads on that topic, including that one. It's just not an issue that concerns me. :)

It's not a comment on the length of the opening post, but on the variety and vehemence of the responses... as in "popcorn for munching while I sit back and watch the drama unfold. It's a somewhat common metaphor used on this site. :)

I'm considering making a pot of popcorn for this thread. :cool:

I know you have trouble with reading comprehension, but try not to be an idiot.

"Arrogant" and "misogynist" are perhaps better terms for such people. They don't necessarily "hate" women, but consider them at least slightly inferior to themselves and to men in general. Further, they typically consider anyone who doesn't believe exactly as they do in all things spiritually...

You're doing the same thing to him that you did to me: not reading carefully and jumping to ridiculous, unwarranted conclusions.

"The husband is the head of the wife" is a better translation and doesn't open up the ridiculous interpretation that all men are the head over all women. I look forward to the day when some "Christian" misogynist tries to be the "head" over my wife....
