Women and Religion - Does it anger you?

Muy bien con tus preguntas, Atos. Glad you asked, because I think modern Christians need to be asked questions like this more often; I'll do my best to answer them."It seems to me that even very religious individuals, while claiming that the bible is of absolute authority, still "pick and choose" what to believe, and what to live by. "Not entirely true. The Bible has been translated (and 'edited' by King James) so I can't be certain about which small details are correct and false. I don't pretend that the Bible is absolutely without error, and most Christians I know do not either."In the bible women are often put at an extremely low level."Another deciding factor in the 'pick and choose' game is what I agree with. Some people, when they don't like the doctrines of their faith, just switch religions. That's pointless unless you honestly don't believe in your diety. I believe in the God of Abraham, so if I switch religions it's pointless because I don't believe in Thor or Shiva. But considering the love of Jesus Christ I find it hard to believe He would be so condecending toward God's daughters.[This message has been edited by Born2Preach, 04-16-2004]

"And how is this view different than "pick and chose" whatever suits your needs?The bible clearly states in many places that the woman is supposed to be below the man. "It's quite different, actually. For one thing this is for the needs of women and I'm not a woman.It's not just picking and choosing, it's reasoning. From what I have experienced in my life Jesus Christ is the messiah of the God of Abraham, who wants to save everyone; If you disagree with any of that then you can open a new thread to argue your case there.With the omniloving God premise established, it's doubtful that prejudice or sexism in the Bible would be His words.[This message has been edited by Born2Preach, 04-20-2004]
