Re: The Purpose of a Woman !!!!!!!
As a Christian, can I just say that your sexist pronouncements are offensive. It bears no resemblance to the Christianity I'm familiar with or to the teachings of Christ. It's sexist garbage which you've attempted to dress up as Christian doctrine.
This isn't the first time you've done this in your various incarnations and I'm sure it won't be the last.

Garbled mess, yes, but.....
johnfoltor AKA whatever AKA The Golfer has always managed to post garbled messes, however his latest opus has clearer bits where the blatant sexism comes over very clearly. He waffles;
Just curious what was the reason Christ chosed men to be apostles? In Christ there is no male or female yet he chose men to be apostles. When I ever look at cars its always the man driving is this like something to do with men don't need to ask for directions.
blatant sexist rubbish!
He warbles
It may well be the reason woman are supposed to keep quiet in church and ask their mate questions after. I asked a woman if she would vote for Hiliary and she said "no" that they women are not stable mentally, hmmmm...... I always thought women stable but she said hormones mood swings, etc... I said Oh.......
Sexist garbage
He garbles
It reminds me of a fishing village that the men all left at that particular time of the month, etc... I'm kind of curious if Obama is getting some of the womans votes for this very reason a woman simply apparently does not trust another woman. I'm sure this lady does not represent all woman any more than the lady link about the purpose of a woman believing its about standing by your man, etc....
What sort of crap is this?
While Burke is attributed a s saying "All it takes for evil to triumph/flourish is for good men to do nothing", it seems he never said that. What he actually said was;
When bad men combine, the good must associate; else they will fall one by one, an unpitied sacrifice in a contemptible struggle.
Edmund Burke, Thoughts on the Cause of Present Discontents
This has become altered to the various forms which we hear tday and which are much less cumbersome than his original phraseology.
If someone is misrepresenting the message of Christ, or putting forward distasteful interpretations of it, then fellow Christians should make an effort to distance Christ from this. Can anyone remember what the Bible says about false prophets? To warp the teachings of Christ so that they support distasteful ideas is something that the individual will have to discuss with God when they meet face to face, but in the interim, Christians should do as much as they can to make sure that the true message gets through.
Many on here happily preach to other posters their particular view. If they want to do that, they should also be prepared to deal openly with offensive utterances from Christians on Christianity.
I can't accept that we do nothing to disagree with offensive comments dressed up as Christianity so as not to "take a bro to task", yet many on here will declare that I am not a Christian because I just so happen to be a scientist who has no trouble accepting ToE!
So, I'm in agreement with Taz, that we should stand up and be counted, so to speak. We don't and the simple reason is that we immediately disqualify ourselves from commenting by commenting - we become not true Christians - in the eyes of those we comment against. After a while, you tend to get sick of it.
I also believe that those who make such offensive utterings are playing on the fact that many Christians believe "judge not lest ye be judged" or words to that effect, motes, logs and eyes as well.
Well, I know I have faults, that I have to work hard at doing what is right, so a few more sins to join the expanding database of sin that is my psyche won't make a lot of difference.
In a nutshell
johnfolton, you're spouting offensive, sexist, ill-informed shite!
Mea culpa, mea culpa

Re: Garbled mess, yes, but.....
Can you clarify your statement
A wolf in sheeps clothing would concern me - not someone, Christian or no, spouting blatant nonsense.

Re: Garbled mess, yes, but.....
But surely it is the responsibility of Christians to point out that arguments of both sorts don't represent them? How else can Christianity counter misrepresentations?
