What it means to be a Woman

[Mrs. Warrior]

What it means to be a Woman.

In the Garden of Eden, Eve had all the love of God and of Adam. The devil came and deceived her, and she was innocent and no idea what kind of evil plan the devil had in mind for her. When she sinned part of the separation from God had to be that she would bear children in pain, but that her Seed would crush the head of the devil. Eve was called the mother of all living things and the protector of man, all of her children were born with a sin nature ever since.

When Mary was asked to carry the Son of God, she was given an honor. The Holy Spirit placed an embryo, created holy and sinless in her womb with her permission. Mary wanted Joseph to believe her about her pregnancy but it took an angel who told Joseph that her child was the Son of God. They had to travel and in a heavy pregnant condition, she had to be tough. The fullness of the betrothal was not complete and Joseph's family rejected her. She had to give birth in a stable below the house.

Luke may have been called the “beloved physician” because he had the pain medicine.

Today we hear of these men ''who want to be a woman” in the news. I have to ask, are you strong enough to endure labor pain? Are you tender enough that when you are carrying life and a little foot kicks against your tummy and a protective burst of maternal instinct overcomes you with ferocity that you know beyond knowing what womanhood entails? That the life you have been honored to carry is a part of your heart and the heart of your husband? That giving birth hurts like hell but that you endure it and you keep on pushing because your child needs to be born? That when you hold your baby for the first time, something primordial bursts open; a protective instinct to love, to nurture and to grow a new life at your won expense? You know and experience a sense of grateful thanks to God for giving you your heart in the face of your baby! Then the baby wakes you up at night and demands your attention when you are tired but that womanly, motherly nature invigorates your being and you carry on. As you hold their hand from one stage to another, that giving the warmth of your heart makes you a part of humanity that has the strongest ability for mankind to carry on? When your children grow up and get hurt by people who want to use them and you hear them cry; your heart will get ripped out of your chest. You wonder how you can protect yourself from hurting like this again? That's when a mother holds on to her child and loves them she takes her prayers to God and together they form a shield of love around them.

At the cross the devil thought his hatred could destroy Jesus but he did not know that it was the love for humanity, the taking of the wrath and punishment for sin, that this was the labor pain that a man endured. Jesus said “no man takes my life from me, I lay it down freely”. When He paid for mankind, He rose as a the firstborn among many brethren, to make a way for us to the Father. His death and resurrection provided the way for mankind to come to God; washed clean, given a new nature, true children of God. When God sees His offspring, His protective love keeps watch over His family. God knew man would sin and still gave them the free choice.

One woman sees another woman and understand what she has been through, how her expectations have been wounded, and she will say “sister, friend, I understand and I am here with you”. They will keep loving and giving from their hearts. When they see their grand-daughters growing, knowing that these young woman will travel on the same journey and that their hopes will sometimes be hurt, but that when they are, they will be there beside them giving them wisdom and comfort. They will keep rising up and traveling as women ready for whatever is around the next bend, love never ends!

these men ''who want to be a woman”

They'll never know labor pains. They'll never know a woman's instincts to care and protect their children like women do because they're not women. They have all the male instincts instead, but refuse to accept it because they flatly reject what God has given to them, and want instead what He's given to others. A sin in itself.

UNLESS they get kidney stones-

What it means to be a woman:

Much greater chance of success in a custody battle.

[Bob434]

Gmmm, good point- wonder what a judge woudl say about a husband who thinks he’s a woman, divorcing his wife? which ‘woman’ gets the child?

[Son-Joshua]

Beautiful!

When Christian haters mock Jesus saying he was anti woman, I’m reminded that satan has and will always be the liar of liars. It was a woman who brought the Savior into this world. She cared, protected, and suffered in many ways when a mother sees her son tormented. I believe, as a guy, that women are God’s greatest creation!

[Chainmail]

Women most definitely are gifted differently than men. Appreciating those gifts are what make a marriage.

[T.B. Yoits]

It's like a man but without reason and accountability. (Hat tip to 'As Good As It Gets')

...and a misogynist is someone who hates women as much as they hate each other.

[Governor Dinwiddie]

Beautiful tribute, to our mothers and real women everywhere! Thanks for reminding us.

[coincheck]

And remember, It was the women that Jesus first appeared to after his resurrection.

Something else, the sin nature that we all carry is passed along through the man.
That is why Jesus IS the Son of God, and is able to be our Savior. He did not have that sin nature, He is as we were meant to be and will be one day when we stand in his presence.
That is why those who have accepted Jesus’ gift of forgiveness “have the right to be called son’s and daughter’s of God.”
It started with a young woman saying yes to the angle and to God.

The devil came and deceived her, and she was innocent and no idea what kind of evil plan the devil had in mind for her.

That's what she said in the official transcript?

[Caipirabob]

I always loved this because it reminds me of my wife:

Proverbs 31:10-31 - King James Version

10) Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

11) The heart of her husband doth safely trust in her, so that he shall have no need of spoil.

12) She will do him good and not evil all the days of her life.

I treat her like an angel. She may actually be one.

And I don't want to piss off her friends.

On top of that, it may be that she's here to keep an eye on making.

Making my marriage some sort of celestial "Double-Secret Probation".

Probably...

When my husband dislocated his hip around 15 years ago (dirt bike accident), the ER doc told him that the pain of putting it back into place was comparable to child birth.

He had to be put under.

He said, “No way. If I were a chick, I’d never put myself through that.” Only with more F-bombs.

[Son-Joshua]

well said! And, yes He appeared to a woman first. Thanks for reminding me :)

?

Come now.

“Shirley”, you can’t be serious with, or certain about, this theory of yours.

[Telepathic Intruder]

Yeah, you see women go through that willingly, because it’s what they’re meant to do. Men were not designed to break our hips in motorcycle accidents. It’s an instinct us men do not have, only by accident and thinking ourselves stupid for doing it.

[BubbaBasher]

I believe there was no snake. Eve made the story up to blame her own failing on someone else.

Doesn’t this make more sense and better describe the nature of women?

https://findinghopeministries.org/the-dna-of-jesus-who-contributed/

Three general concepts;

Mary contributed human DNA naturally, God provided the “Logos”. But fails the scriptural requirement to be with/o original sin (protestant)

Mary contributed but was “ born with/o original sin, fails scriptural requirement that all are tainted, none righteous, no not one (RC immaculate conception of Mary)

God created a “ second Adam” born of woman, under the law, to redeem those subject to the law of condemnation and death, but with/o any sin.The Lamb of God, perfect who became the propitious substitute for mankind. Mary was The vessel. The Biblical solution to the question.

Jesus had to be perfect but fully human, like Adam before his fall.

Jesus is born!

[one guy in new jersey]

“Mary was The vessel.”

That’s it? Can’t even throw in a capital V for her trouble?

[Manly Warrior]

Too much coffee this AM?.

No one is denigrating Mary, who was favored by God above other virgins of the day to bear the Savior.

Let bible interpret bible. That’s a good healthy rule of theology.

Be nice. I was simply expressing the main viewpoints on the matter.
