Let's see how that eternity thingy works out for them.
Aren't they?
Right... and silence about the religion that actually, explicitly approves of domestic violence in its holiest book.
No agenda there...
The most intelligent approach to revisionism is to first learn something about the group you’re going to villify. Christianity is far more feminist than either ancient or modern paganism.
As opposed to other religions on this planet which mutilate their genitals, or burn them alive.
Well, to anyone familiar with the Pulitzer family’s newspaper (St. Louis Post Dispatch, er, Disgrace) this is no surprise. It’s been a communist rag for the better part of a century.
They should probably get a Nobel Peace Prize too.
the sanctity of marriage
THAT PESKY SANCTITY thing again....
the poo litzer prize people clearly don’t even know that the term means.
Id bet if they were victims of a home invasion theyd rethink the concept
Yup, lotsa roaming groups of Christian tea party thugs terrorizing a neighborhood near you.
No. Christianity tells spouses to cherish and reverence each other (Ephesians 5).
Secular pop psychology is more at fault for domestic violence than Christianity ever could be. It, in general, tells each spouse to validate SELF, and assert SELF — SELF esteem, SELF help, SELF worth, SELF aggrandizement, SELF ad-nauseam. When couples seek individuality more than togetherness, they inevitably grow apart. When they grow apart, they become rivals and adversaries, rather than a team.
The disintegration of the family is a cerfifiable sign of the times we’re in.
Besides that, SELFishness is simply the generic expression of original sin — which is entirely based on envy and pride.
(The Gospel according to Roger Miller):
“It is my belief
Pride is the chief
Cause of the decline
In the number of
Husbands and wives.”
I can hear the yelling Hosanna from here....
They just won’t leave well enough alone.
I remember an old old GUNSMOKE 30 minute episode in which a man kept beating his wife because he said the Bible gave him permission to do it.
One day the wife, who could not read, met a preacher and asked where it said a man could beat his wife.
The preacher said there was no such verse giving a man the right to beat his wife. She then went home and shot her husband dead, and Matt Dillon refused to arrest her.
S.C. Pingy.
When all else fails.......
We have a huge stack of Post and Courier copies. You’d be amazed what we’ve saved on bathroom tissue.
I am unable to find any Domestic Violence stats that break down intimate partners to married or cohabiting couples. I’ve not read the article so does it mention how they determined that marriage as the union of one and one woman for life sanctified by God is the cause of domestic violence when domestic violence goes across all examples of intimate relationships, even same sex couples?
They know little if anything about the Bible, and obviously they have not read it. The Lord, God in the Second Book called Exodus gave Moses a long list of His laws that dealt with how we are to treat others to include women and others in the family. Proverbs 31 contains The Description of a
Worthy Woman. The Lord Jesus clearly stated how we are to treat others.
