Sexism And The Bible--fork

[Basilisa Marie]

Who exactly are you?

 

Excuse me? 

 

Someone who's been on this forum a lot longer than you have.  

 

Quit being rude to people who disagree with you.  It's distasteful, and no one will want to play with you if you keep it up. 

[KnightofChrist]

I get and understand the need for erudite, intellectual, critical examination of Scripture.  Lots of good thinking, broadening understanding, all of it within the big tent of Church teaching. On the other hand ... it can trouble, or scandalize  good, simple believers -people who live on pure, unrefined faith. And these people - they have a right to their faith. Its one of the primary missions of the Church, to protect these simple people. That's why they silence theologians. And sometimes they silence theologians who aren't really outside the big tent -- but they want to shut them up for the sake of the "little" ones.

 

Anyway. I sort of see that happening here. kind of. NOT saying anyone -needs to be / should be -silent, btw

 

People, People who need people, Are the luckiest people in the world We're children, needing other children And yet letting a grown-up pride Hide all the need inside Acting more like children than children...

*dances around Basilla in a pagan rain dance*  Nice!!!!  Agreed.  Someone here is getting too big for his britches.  We appreciate all types, Budge, Hassan, etc, but eventually we will tire of attitude and put you on ignore if you keep it up.

Here is a small snippet from the homily:

"You surely cannot be ignorant of the fact that the living Church is the Body of Christ; for Scripture says: 'God made man, male and female.' Now the male signifies Christ, and the female signifies the Church, which, according to both the Old and New Testament, is no recent creation, but has existed from the beginning." [Liturgy of the Hours: The Office of Readings, Patristic Reading for Thursday of the 32nd week of Ordinary Time]

 

 

The Church is also portrayed as aged, and yet made ever young by the penitential acts of the faithful, in a text called, The Shepherd of Hermas.

Thank you for both of these posts. The Mystery of the Church--the Outcalled Ones--is fascinating.

[Evangetholic]

And feel free to put me on ignore. My own ignore list is well-used ladies.

And just for clarity's sake the only interaction I've had with this add person before now was them interjecting themselves into a conversation I was having with StMichael about slavery to tell me to "get over it" which made no sense in context.

Other than as a racist aside that served no point.

[KnightofChrist]

I have not called and will not call any of the three of you heretics. I know you will respond that I have done so, but I haven't.  I respect you, in fact I respect you too much to hear you use words that seem to undermine the holy scriptures without objecting in the very strongest language. If I came here advocating gay marriage or women priests I'd expect you tell me that my words were heretical.

Hasan I love you like a Bunny, but I'm not interested in learning how to be a Christian from you--at all.

 

I still don't think heretical would apply to their statements, unorthodox, a pinch of cafeteria Catholicism perhaps, but not heretical.

Maybe, but it wasn't Hellish hubris to call the statements heretical.

 

I can recall quoting Saints ad Doctors and being called blasphemous. :p

Ha. Thank you for saying what I think everyone has been thinking since he arrived.

:D

 

I'll be your Voris if you need me to be. Just a little ball of anger and bad hair.

 

I'm honestly looking for floops to give. I'm just not finding them.

 

St Paul wasn't spouting any twenty-first century "isms."

 

Add's been an unprovoked jerk to me.

 

The Bible's inerrant.

 

Catholicism is true.

 

And Butthurt, even from the fairer sex, will not make scripture a collection of first century ramblings and St Paul some woman-hating cretin.

For the final time no one has stated that Paul was a woman-hater .....no one....my belief is that he was giving ways to live for his time that teaches us to live modestly and to not embrace the sketchier sides of culture.  Other people take this headcovering/ woman's salvation through childbearing/ no braids more literally.  GREAT.  It dosn't change the fact that he lived in a time when women were considered less than a man (you had to have 3 women to hold as much weight as the opinion of one man).  Then again, poligamy was also rampant, as well as concubines, even among the jews, so the thought of having sex with only one woman was pretty jaw dropping.

In so far as you have "come at me" twice with no provocation yes it matters a great deal. If I bother you then you should consider putting me on ignore. I have two members there and am considering a third. Not everyone is beneficial spiritually/intellectually/socially for everyone else.

I can agree with most of that. Go back and reread your first post on this thread and Beatitude's. How should I have read them?

 

And at Apo, I'm not in a state of uncharitable feeling. I'd still buy everyone a beer and let them into my front door.

And I am not angry with you or anyone else in the thread, but some of the recent comments make this place look less than inviting.

I know. Girls are mean.
