God has set a chain of command. The Bible says in 1 Tim. 2: 11-13,“Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. (12) But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. (13) For Adam was first formed, then Eve.And then 1 Cor. 11:3 gives the rest of the chain of command: ”But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.” So we see here the order of authority in our universe, is set up in the verse we just read —
God
Christ
Man
Woman

I might use this arguement with my girlfriend, see if i survive the night.
actually i give it about 3 secs
God has set up a chain of command. For John Lennon formed a band and invited Paul McCartney 1 Cau 3:21 "he shoot coca-cola" , then George Harrison 3 Fro 2:11 "he one holy roller" was casually invited, added Pete Best on drums when they needed him, then after a lot of broo-ha-ha they got rid of Pete Best and got Ringo Starr 12 Hob 9:23 "got to be good looking cause he's so hard to see" . "I really hate drum solos." "I think we're going to have a wonderful working relationship!" However, the head of George was John not Paul, and neither was Ringo servant to either but John himself, so your theory falls apart.
By what I will generously call your logic, we shouldn't listen to a damn thing you have to say, then.
This is really sad. In the Little House on the Prairie books, set shortly after the Civil War, Laura tells her fiance that she isn't going to say the word "obey" in her vows, and yes, she *would* like the vote when that becomes an option. It's a shame how technology is progressing, yet encouraging some womens' minds to regress.
Except that the story of Adam and Eve is purely allegorical. Only a gobshite would take Genesis seriously.
I have know very clever men in my time, but the cleverest people I have ever known were women.
Think: Thatcher (until she started believing her own myth)
Boudicca
The semi-legendary Medb of Connacht
Catherine of Siena
Catherine the Great
Cleopatra
Hatshepsut
And that is not even scratching the surface.
Mom of 9, all you are capable of doing is opening your legs.
More Gems of wisdom from this baby factory (I mean 9 kids? She's nothing more than a broodmare): "Okay, now you ask? “Don’t I have any rights? Am I just to be a plain old slave all my days? Listen carefully now
.You don’t have any rights, no rights at all. You lost them on the day you rebelled against God. You lost them, not because you are a woman, but because you are a sinner. Just as I am. Now if Jesus paid the penalty for you, you don’t belong to yourself any more, you belong to Him! The rights you once possessed now are His, the One who bought your salvation and freedom from death. We are slaves to Christ. But don’t forget we already lost our rights. It was our poverty and bondage to sin that drove us to Him."
I am beginning to think more and more that Christians are just slave fetishists.
Then she continues on to say that Jesus wants you to submit to your husband even if he is cruel and abusive. Twenty bucks says this bitch gets smacked around every night and thanks her husband for it afterwards too.
@afacelessatheist, #832240. "Then she continues on to say that Jesus wants you to submit to your husband even if he is cruel and abusive."
This is what aggravates me about the women<men notion. I can understand their trying to follow the parts about women being inferior and having to be submissive, at least that idea is clearly stated, but I really can't imagine that their supposedly benevolent God would want a woman to submit to abuse over escaping it.
Actually I think it´s:
Granny Weatherwax
Nanna Ogg
The Nac Mac Feegle
Everyone else
I'd swear this is a repeat, but I can't find the original. I even remember someone saying it sounded like a bad art movie, and I went on a riff about "Eat Drink God Christ".
EDIT: BTW, "chain of command"? Isn't that the chain I beat you with unless you go into the kitchen and make me a sammich? (With apologies to Jayne Cobb.)
”But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”
And the head of my cock itches when I read stuff like this.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. (13) For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
Does. Not. Follow.
No no no, that hierarchy is all WRONG.
The natural hierarchy of the universe is like this.
Me
Lifeforms I like, and some inanimate objects I like.
Other Lifeforms.
A bunch of other stuff.
Earwigs.
Crap like fundies.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
So the order we were made in is the hierarchy or authority? In which case your husband must answer to the fish, the birds and all the animals! We were made last after all so our species is under the will of ALL the others right?
Oh, shut up, you ungrateful, brainwashed, Stockholm-Syndrome wannabe. If you truly believed what you said, you wouldn't be typing on the Internet all by yourself. Being a successful breeder does not make you the Oracle of Delphi. Nine kids? Perhaps you should spend more time looking after your actual children, rather than lecturing your fellow women and treating them as if they are children. Sheesh.
Wait, wasn't Jesus supposed to be God?. And wait, weren't you supposed to be Christian, not Timothean?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
