A healthy Marriage poem

[ayin jade]

If women would stay home “where they are suppose to be”(Titus 2:5), then there would be no women in the workplace, for the disaffectioned husband to be attracted to.  Therefore women are to be blamed in two ways.  But we don’t live in a perfect world!

Therefore wives should do all they can to please their husbands and husbands should do all they can to please their wives and stay true to them.

 

 

And men are not to be blamed if they willingly choose to cheat on their wives? 

 

 

I pity your wife. Assuming you have one.

Why does there seem to be a gender war/defensiveness/blame shifting lol? Each is responsible to God for their own actions/lack of actions. Keeping score he/she does this or doesn't do that in no way changes our obligations/vows before God.

[hmbld]

Even a man who is pure of heart

    and prays to the Lord above

   Can fall into sin, when temptation burns

    If his wife, doesn’t give him her love.

          (1 Corinthians 7:5)

But why is the wife not giving him her love?That needs to be answered,

Are we at the mercy of our feelings? Does scripture instruct us to love when someone makes us feel good? Or is love a decision to follow God's instruction even when we are wronged?

Ignorance at it's best. Study to show yourselves approved unto God a workman that needeth not be ashamed.

This is true the war of the sexes can cause a marriage a lot of problems and undue temptation from Satan for sure. But it was Satan who brought temptation in the world. Eve didn't choose to be decieved instead she was tricked duped into believing the lies of Satan as he twisted the word of God. There is a big difference in what Satan did to trick Eve than what Adam did he wasn't tricked or deceived by Satan. But all three parties that led to the fall of man in the garden were punished for it as a curse was placed on the woman, the man and the serpent.

Scripture instructs us in the love of God 1 Corinthians 13

[Openly Curious]

The Bible squarely puts the lion's share of the blame on Adam, not Eve.   Romans 5:12-21 mentions nothing about Eve.  It was Adam's sin that brought death to the world.

But it was Eve's stupidity that led Adam to go along with his beautiful wife.  Eve must have been an extremely beautiful woman.  And yes, Adam -- knowing the dire consequences --  could have said "Sorry, but I won't join you in this foolishness", but he did not.  That's why God asked her "What hast thou done?"  We could add parenthetically "thou stupid woman".  If we think about it, Eve chose to be deceived, just as people today chose to be deceived. But Adam deliberately chose to disobey (for his own sake or for her sake, we are not told) therefore Adam is held squarely responsible.  And all of humanity is paying the price.

This is just plain bull and unscriptural to boot. First you are assumming on your own Eve was a beautiful woman scripture doesn't say or give us any clue into that fact. It's seems you are thinking that the outward beauty of a woman is the cause of a man disobeying God when they have a freewill choice each and every time the temptation to sin is put in front of them. If what you are thinking and assumming of Eve's beauty leading Adam astray I guess all women should go around and purposely be ugly in the sight of their husband so that they want be lead astray and sin like Adam did. Your logic doesn't make since in that assumption.

Scripture never teaches that it was Eve's stupidity either that caused Adam to sin. You insult the intelligence of women with such a statement and encite the war between the sexes as a result as you clearly do not know the scriptures in regards to the temptation and trickery that Eve was put through by Satan. Eve did not choose to be deceived as you have stated she was tricked through Satan's deceit. Have you ever been tricked into doing something and didn't know you was tricked and the wool was pulled over your eyes but then it was to late to do anything about it. That is exactly what happened to Eve Satan tricked her through deceit using the scripture and twisting the truth into a lie and she believed it. Adam however was never tricked by deceit by Satan into disobeying he did it willingly by his own accord his choice and nothing else.

2 Corinthians 11:3 - But I fear lest by any means as the serpent "beguiled" Eve through his subtlety, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.

Genesis 3:4 - And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall NOT surely die.

John 8:44 - Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is not truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a LIAR, and the father of it.

No where is it found in the scripture that God called or said to Eve "thou stupid woman" either. God did inquire of Eve of her actions by asking her the question What hast thou done? Which is a big stretch and twist to say the least.

[Openly Curious]

Seems to me Eve wondered off by herself and the devil took advantage of her gullibility. She must have had greed or lust in her heart for she desired more than what GOD had given them and wanted the knowledge and power

I don't buy into that Eve wondered off scenario and if she wouldn't have wondered off she wouldn't have been taken advantage of. Because God created the garden of Eden for them and he put both of them in the garden he created to tend it. There was no where for her to wonder off to they lived in the garden. In that garden were two trees the tree of life and the tree of the knowledge of both good and evil. They were told not to eat of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and if they did they would surely die. Both Adam and Eve only knew good prior to the fall as there was no lust and greed or sin of any kind in the world as of yet. The knowledge of evil and sin came into the world after the fall as their eyes were opened and they saw they were naked and hid themselves. Prior to the fall Eve only knew what God had given them and nothing else. But God did have a plan from the beginning.

 Oh boy I am not even going to go there.

 

 

Bigape, I am going to go there.  Did you know that women are everywhere?   

 

Yes I did.  

This statement(although very Biblical and correct), was said kind of tongue-in-cheek!

I knew that it would get a reaction out of people, but IT SHOULDN’T, on a Christian site!

Therefore, I added, that we don’t live in a “perfect world”:

But this is something that we should be praying for......

Matthew 6:9-10

V.9 ¶   After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.

V.10  Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

This is God’s will for Christian wives!

You sure don't know NOTHING about a virtuous woman.
