To be persecuted is to be treated unfairly. Can we respond to this with blessing? The Father does not owe us the crucifixion of Jesus the Son. Our Lord lived a humble obedient life to the point of death to give followers after Him a supremely unfair advantage. Yet the world treats us unfairly...

Some groups of Baptists and Pentecostals enforce this. Apostolic Pentecostal women, for example, do not cut or trim their hair. The men keep it short.

Always looking for fairness is a horrible way to live your life. On a bigger scale, many of the world's worst evils have come in the name of fairness and equality. People get hung up on why the Bible doesn't directly condemn slavery. Christians are to seek the Kingdom of God first, not focus...

This is correct. I reject feminism from it's start. The majority of women in America thought politics were a distraction from their influence in the home and in community culture. Its not that they didn't want to participate in society. They always did that through local clubs, church...

I appreciate everyone contributing their thoughts and discussions so much!! To me, a successful forum thread need not have everyone agree or even always stick with purely nice words. I call it good when people can present different ideas and come away with more clarity on their own views or the...

That  is good. And I've definitely missed the point of going without too.

Before I say anything I want you to know I love your presence here and I see you as one of the loveliest and most humble members of this forum. Please don't worry, Sis. I know you mean no harm in disagreeing because you're a good person. I was struggling physically with energy, mentally with...

I thought it would be a given that women would share so I figured the males would need special encouragement to speak freely. Thanks for your contribution as well. I hope everyone feels free to share on this topic whether they agree with my views or not.

I'm confused. When you say Proverbs 31 is the "free woman", do you mean free in Christ? Isn't that a good thing? If you mean "free" as in too free with morals or under a false burden, I disagree with both statements. I have been exhausted to the point where I did zero chores and only kept baby...

Women's Bible Roadmap You Won't Hear in Modern Church Start Here: Genesis 2:18 18 And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him an help meet for him. I've never heard a church teach this but Scripture describes women's purpose as being created  for the...

Absolutely. I dislike the term "deconstructionist" because I don't like being associated with people who have a low view of Scripture. But my husband and I are because we can't find a church that follows Scripture over the traditions of men.

Its been a year of frustrating no's. The "all I want" voice is strong and I fear the answer is no. Finally, Ill turn to God and cast my cares... Even if I never get the things I want again, I'll still serve the Lord. God wants me to trust Him and be content. He wants me to have joy. And...

I like that. The free man is God's slave. And the slave is free in Christ. I believe God still speaks to us but we often need to be quiet and listen by faith.

Is seeking God's face only done when we pray? I'd like to see explanations on what seeking God's face is.

Yay!!! Glad I found this thread!!

James 2:17 King James Version 17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. This is why I can't accept "faith alone".
