Not being snarky.<br />However, I'm not going to let your comment through.<br />You add nothing to the conversation but your personal opinion that Voddie's interpretation is the right one.<br /><br />Sorry. It's not right just because you and Voddie say so.<br /><br />Now, if you want to link to an actual, scholarly, logical, non-fallacy based argument. I might go look at it. Might even let the comment go through if it's any good and not just the rantings of a preacher with an agenda.Mara Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385458933795539928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421420703803149726.post-67234190941896982012019-06-03T05:12:58.758-07:002019-06-03T05:12:58.758-07:00Ship Wreck, were you having a bad day back in Apri...Ship Wreck, were you having a bad day back in April or are you this off-the-charts unhinged all the time? You make an awful lot of assumptions and reveal an insane amount of prejudice in so few words concerning women who don't swallow the patriarchy Kool-Aid. In fact, concerning myself, every single one of your assumptions are so far off the mark they are too hilarious for me to be offended. I probably should have not published your moderated comment. But your inane words were entertaining and reveal just how ridiculous Voddie lovers can be.Mara Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385458933795539928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421420703803149726.post-13606628038214585972019-04-15T07:28:16.675-07:002019-04-15T07:28:16.675-07:00You are attacking this man for telling you the tru...You are attacking this man for telling you the truth. You have been taught to think from a human secular world view.The public school curriculum is written by Atheists and Feminists. This means that you as a female are most likely single with no intention of getting married or having children. You have had at least 1 abortion, you have slept with 10 or more men. You are on birth control. Your parents are divorced and you were never properly disciplined as child.you are addicted to something and suffer with anxiety, depression, or ADD. You are fighting the wrong enemy!it's not flesh and blood.

And neither myself nor Voddie will be any better for it.<br />I just wish the scales would fall off his eyes so he could see how deceived he and his patriarchy bunch really are.<br />But I'm not holding my breath waiting for that.<br />Those who place themselves into positions of authority with a scripture twist here and a 'thus saith the Lord' there are not easily dissuaded from their crooked paths and perverted power grabs.Mara Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385458933795539928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421420703803149726.post-58644604827472271182014-11-29T21:51:22.218-08:002014-11-29T21:51:22.218-08:00agreed. below is a post from his blog

We are among the most liberal, Darwinian, Secular Human, neo-Marxist, Feminist bunch on the planet. However, if you give us $250,000.00 we'll take your daughter off your hands for the next four years and make a man our of her. Between the money you've spent on her prep school, private tutors, and college education, she'll be put in a position where devoting herself to being a wife and mother would be a criminal act. Therefore, she'll put off marriage as long as possible, have no more than one.... maybe two kids, pay someone else to raise them -since she'll start off her career up to her eyeballs in debt-but don't you worry... She'll always be the most impressive person in the room when she mentions the fact that she was indoctrinated by us... So how will you be paying?"<br /><br />the line about turning your daughter into a man!Texas guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00327984761730161607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421420703803149726.post-20878891682177751832012-03-27T04:06:27.291-07:002012-03-27T04:06:27.291-07:00Unknown, you know it, I know it.

Definitely something to look into<br /><br />But you know, you can just read the story of Deborah and see that God BLESSED the nation of Israel during her time as a Judge. There is nothing in the story that even remotely hints that her time as a judge was a curse on any level.<br /><br />Men, like Voddie, who make this false claim are only fooling themselves and trying to fool others to support this false view of the nature of God.<br /><br />So... Let me repeat this for Voddie and any other misogynists who run hell bent into this false teaching.<br /><br />DEBORAH WAS A BLESSING TO ISRAEL.<br />SHE WAS NEVER, EVER, EVER A CURSE.<br />SHE WAS ONLY A BLESSING.<br />SO GET, FREAKING, OVER IT, VODDIE.<br />YOU ARE DEAD WRONG ON THIS ONE AND NO AMOUNT OF TWISTING AND FALSE SUPPORT CAN CHANGE THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER THAT DEBORAH WAS A BLESSING.<br /><br />Clear and straight forward enough?Mara Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385458933795539928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421420703803149726.post-90312703449466427342012-03-21T17:28:43.582-07:002012-03-21T17:28:43.582-07:00"BAUCHAM: She certainly was, and the fact tha..."BAUCHAM: She certainly was, and the fact that something happened<br />doesn't mean that it's normative for the church.

She does an indepth exegesis from the Hebrew on why this was translated wrong. <br /><br />We must educated ourselves because they are prooftexting like crazy. The text actually refers to something akin to 'tax gatherers' or something like that.Linhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04723395060585207854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421420703803149726.post-35553117978075350362012-03-21T15:23:02.243-07:002012-03-21T15:23:02.243-07:00Preach it Sister!

Dirty little secret Voddie doesn't want you to know:<br /><br />The word translated "keeper" there in Titus would be better translated "Despot" or "Ruler". It carries way and above more connotation of "Ruler" than "Head" in Ephesians 5 ever could.<br /><br />But these guys don't want you to know that. It would upset their little hierarchy scam they have going.<br /><br />So...

I can't stand how many of these men turn everything they want into the "gospel." The Gospel is the Good News of Christ's birth, life, death, and ressurrection to glory and how our belief in this Good News makes us heirs with Christ. The Gospel is not about women being keepers of their homes. These men are not telling the truth about the Gospel.Bridgethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14883585551595748425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421420703803149726.post-21263041207733196012012-03-21T09:24:59.631-07:002012-03-21T09:24:59.631-07:00Very well put.

To him, "Love God and your neighbor as yourself" takes a back seat to "all Scripture is inspired by God." His interpretation of the bible is a million times more important to him than loving the people around him. People can suffer and die for all he cares, but put one finger near <i>his holy scriptures</i> and you are really in for it.<br />Don't get me wrong, I believe in the bible. But no way should a book ever be more important than a person.Andrea Gracehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05789935698234568557noreply@blogger.com
