Jezebel..
I never was much into the women's lib thing. I think women have enough hats to wear.
Now if Adam had told Eve to eat the fruit, then the shoe would be on the other foot.
Adam was not decieved and yet he listened to his wife.
You think he would of said something like, hey, that's not a good idea. But he went along knowingly.
Gen 3:17
And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed
is the ground for thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat
of it all the days of thy life;
Jer 7:23
But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you.
Jer 7:24
But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels
and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward.
Rev 2:20
Notwithstanding I have a few things against thee, because thou sufferest that woman Jezebel, which calleth herself a prophetess, to teach and to seduce my servants to commit fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto idols.
I believe if God calls a woman to teach then she should follow that calling. But God made women to be mom's. And mom's should tach their kids before they teach others.
I think being a teacher in the biblical sense means to have the authority in the church. Not like a sunday school teacher or a mom.
Now the bible say that now there is neither male nor female but we are all regarded as equal in Christ.
But if a woman doesn't have Christ as the head and goes out teaching her own doctrine then that leads to eating fruit we should stay away from.
If you read the story of Jezebel, she basically wore the pants in the house and toldher husband what to do. Not like Job who told his wife that even though she said he should curse God and die, he rebuked her and trusted God.
Maybe Adam should of met Job...
We live in a diferent today and I see a lot more women in positions of power. And I can't say that that's making anything better, political speaking. I see more women wanting to have careers and live in the man's world, rather than staying home and raising good law abiding citizens with critical thinking skills. And allowing the government to raise their kids.
Just look at the crime and rebellion happening today.
I think women gave up the good thing just to feel more important.
But in my honest opinion I don't think anything is more important than raising your children, having a happy marriage, and caring for your aging parents.
I've lived in both worlds. I prefer the mom to the machine operator or truck driver. But in todays world the options are getting harder.
It takes two people working just to pay the bills and put food on the table.
I believe it's intentional to break up the family unit so the government can have control over every aspect of your life.
Including raising your children.
Kids need moms and dads. Sometimes one has to be both.
I think if women stopped trying to be men, and men stopped trying to be women, we might get back to a little bit of normalcy and commonsense.
But that's just my opinion.
