you're offended by sex. you and every other christian in the known world can thank st augustine for that one. look him up sometime....he was basically a huge swinger....think casanova...but then converted over to christianity and was born again....he was one of the biggest anti-sex people in the church. more than likely had STD's too. actually if i'm not mistaken it goes from st augustine to thomas aquainus?

but whatever, i think i get way too into the history of stuff....but that's because i like to know context and have understanding.

:) How is the bible degrading to women? Proff of this would be really cool y'know.

People are always saying this but they never give any kind of prrof as to how it is degrading towards women.

I tell you this, for every verse that the bible gives, telling women to submit to men, there is also IMMEDIATELY following this a warning to men to also do likewise.

The verse most poeple love to quote as proof that the bible is degrading to women is Eph 5: 22 which says that women should submit themselves to their husbands. But check this out, most ppl will not go past this cuz it still goes on to say that men shoudl LOVE their wives as Christ loves the church.

Christianty does not give men free reign over women. it does not condone treating women brutally. In fact it extols the virtue of a woman who is godly. Just check out Prove 21: 10- the end which describes how great a woman that is virtuous is.

Also check this out; if you LOVE your wife/ girlfriend, wont she do all taht she can for you? She has "submitted" to you, not as a slave but she recopgnizes taht you are the head of the house or the relationship.

So iask again, where is proof that hte bible is degrading to women. When presenting an argument, give both sides of it, show proof of your argument and then give your conclusion.

Have a blessed day ya'll.
