"I watched a film called 'Risen' earlier this evening and it struck me that if today's men followed Jesus in the same way the disciples did then women would have no problem with their roles as wives, mothers or sisters in Christ."
======================================================
From all Scripture, many woman reject Jesus, and reject men of God, and reject messengers of God, every day.
Woman of faith, as God Describes,
like ABIGAIL (in Scripture), live righteously, even if their husbands are unrighteous, daily.

You don't have the bigger picture.
Imagine a horror movie from the 1980's. Five friends killed someone, and they have a secret. They looked to keep their secret so none go to jail. How far would they go?
In academia, there has been intrigue and scheming. I have liked the book "The Count of Monte Cristo" as an example for intrigue and scheming.
You, Pearl, have been going about this the wrong way. What is the root of the problem?
I would far rather have my children see Christ working in me, than join them to a religious institution.

Is this it? If it is it's weird because it's been going round in my head for a few days.
Still don't know what you are trying to say. Perhaps it would be better to say it straight out.

What has been going on in this thread has been wrong. It was started wrong. Started in the wrong spirit.
Have you been basking in it?
Momma's don't let your babies grow up to be Cowboys is a classic, but it's not the song I was thinking of, I think the song I was thinking of was sung by a woman.
No not at all. Over the years on these sorts of sites I've come across lots of men starting similar posts to the one you started; putting women in their place, telling us what our roles should be and how to be good wives etc.. And I thought, 'You know what, I've never seen a similar thread about men'. So I thought I would start one.
Since I became a Christian over forty two years ago I have belonged to only two church fellowships and have been greatly blessed by my Christian brothers in both places. We women have been encouraged to be ourselves in Christ, with equal roles to the menfolk, with equal authority. We have been encouraged to take part in meetings and have been supported by the brothers. Not once in all those years have I come across a man who didn't believe that women should be subservient or that women were inferior to the men. I and my sisters in Christ in these places have enjoyed the freedom given to us by Jesus and I wish to encourage other women to enjoy a similar freedom.
That doesn't mean that we think ourselves better than the men in any way, and I don't suggest that we should not come under authority. But I do think there are a lot of Christian women with much potential who are cowed by the attitude of the sort of men who would seek to rule over them. And as I see it that is not what men should be doing. Rather they should be walking alongside their women, giving them full support and allowing them to grow in Christ to become who God wants them to be.
1 Peter 5:8
Well being sober-minded is important, and great biblical advice for a thread like this, it applies for both Christian men and women, especially here in Australia, some people really like to get drunk on alcohol and it's not a good part of Aussie culture and then there are a lot of young people that think it's cool to smoke funny things, both have perverse effects on the mind, men are a bit worse on this than women.
I personally don't drink and don't smoke, unless if grape juice is not avaliable for communion, then I may take a small sip of wine, but very rarely.

And what do they see:- A man who does not value the company of other believers, who sustains the teaching and discipline of belonging to a company of Christians, who does not care about other Christians or support them and who as a result will not seek help from other Christians.
That is what they will see if you do not every Sunday meet with other Christians and take them with you.
You may meet with Christians, care for them etc etc etc but do your children see that.

Yep, it's not a must, to go to services every Sunday, but being surrounded by the right people even if it's just 2 or 3 is important, good Christian influences are important.
It is not good for a Christian to be surrounded by negative influences all the time, that's how they can drift off into the world.
The reason why I say it this way, because some of you may have no choice in your workplace. So it's important we have those good Christian influences outside of work, even though it would be great if you had a few good influences at your workplace too.

There has been a Lilith and Jezebel Spirit some people have worked to cultivate.
Woman is meek before her husband. Man is meek before God. There is a relationship here. This is our Form.
- The Song of Songs has been in the Bible as a representation of God's love for Israel. In a similar way, Christ has said to be married to The Church.
- 3 But I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man,[a] and the head of Christ is God. (1 Corinthians 11:3)
- Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her (Ephesians 5:25)
- Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. (Ephesians 5:22)
- I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. (1 Timothy 2:12)
- Bible Concordance: To Cleave. Man is Cleaved unto his wife. Man is cleaved unto God.

You have had an ego. Due to hubris, and other things, you compeltely missed what was posted in "How to be a Woman in Christ?"

I didn't mean to cause you to feel threatened in any way but you seem to be very upset. And you do seem to think that my thread is somehow in competition with your own. But than might be said of many threads as people are inspired by threads started by others but with a different slant on things.
Are you not my brother in Christ? If so why are you being so confrontational? If you don't like my thread then please give it a miss.
