A Woman's Job Description

[@TerriLynnMerritts]

That is the worst marriage advice. Women have brains, talents and skills. The Leave It To Beaver era is over. My husband and I share cleaning the house, cooking, laundry, errands, banking, decision making, child care, and neither of us is the supervisor over the other. If he is "on top of me" or if I am on top of him, that means we're having sex. We have careers and share the financial load- it is not all on either of our backs to have to earn it all. Why don't you try telling the men this same advice and see how well it goes over.

[@NathanSalapat]

Excuse me Bill, but I'd rather have my wife looking comfortable than like she spent an hour getting "prettied" up. What, did you marry your wife for her looks or something. Shallow guy right here.

[@susanethomas]

I sense a conflict of interests here. This is just another white man telling women of the world who and what they should be--and everything he says is meant to prop men up and provide them with a domestic and sexual servant rather than a wife. If this was such great advice, funny how Jesus never said anything of the sort. In fact, His ministry was funded by women (the providers), and He was never abandoned by the women, even in death (the protectors), and many of His female followers chose to follow Him instead of stay home and cook.

Whether you agree or not on what this man says is absolutely up to you. However what he says is not his opinion, it is a biblical principle set forth in the New Testament. Titus 2:5 To be discreet, chaste, keepers AT home, good, obedient to their own husband's, that the word of God be not blasphemed. Disagree all you like but don't say that what he says isn't Christian.

[@savedbygrace1482]

did you not also read that Lydia in the new testament was a seller of purple? in other words a 'business woman'. financially capable of providing for the apostles and helping set up a meeting place in her home. Its the interpretation that he got wrong, bible did not say a woman is to be a domestic servant alone. 'keeper' at home means 'manager' and managers delegate job functions and oversee things at home

[@nathaniellogan4555]

@@savedbygrace1482 Can you confirm that Lydia had a husband? This verse applies to married women.

I have some female friends who are Christian, and it baffles me. How could women in a free society choose to follow a religion that belittles them?

[@NathanSalapat]

+TMLorfing Christianity doesn't belittle women, this guys sect does, mainly the Independent Fundamentalist Baptists or any other fundamentalist strain of any of the "christian" religion.

+Nathan Salapat The bible absolutely belittles women, and there's no denying that. Whether or not a church enforces those passages does matter though. Read Ephesians 5:22, 1 Timothy 2:12, 1 Corinthians 14:34-35, Job 5:4.

[@NathanSalapat]

convenient for you to leave out verse 23 of Ephesians 5 where it says "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;" I don't understand how a woman would be belittled submitting herself to a man like that. A man that would give his very life for his wife is a man that isn't going to abuse his authority. So a woman shouldn't be a preacher, explain how that is belittling. A woman is unimportant if she can't teach. Sheesh, I didn't realize the only important thing in the world was teaching. I feel bad for all the manual labourers that offer nothing of importance to the world because they aren't teachers. I think your reference to Job 5:4 has to be wrong because that says nothing about women. It talks about foolish men and how their children suffer because of their fathers foolishness. Also if the Bible belittles women why would Jesus bother talking to the woman at the well. How about when he was hanging on the cross, dying for the sins of the world, and yes that includes women that he was dying for, he told one of his disciples to take care of his mother, John 19:26-27

+Nathan Salapat It doesn't matter if the bible tells you to love your wife in one verse, when in the next it tells you to control them and for women to submit to their husbands. That makes no sense. I'm not so sure why there is so many contradictions. Remember that the bible was written by a primitive society that did not have knowledge of philosophy, ethics, or justice (unlike the Greeks and Chinese, for example). It was a society in which women were expected to submit to man, or suffer severe consequences. This was a time in which a woman who was not a virgin on her wedding night was stoned to death. Forbidding a woman to speak in church is extremely belittling. Factor in the fact that religion was everything to people in the ancient days. It was the center of social life, politics, society, and much more. Forbidding a woman to participate in that is extremely sexist. It would be like if women were not allowed to speak in business meetings or congressional sessions in 2015 America. I meant to say Job 25:4, my mistake. The female sexual organs and menopause is also found to be unclean in the books of the bible. This is not a way of thinking exclusive to Christianity. Islam, Judaism, the Egyptians, and the other tribes in that area thought similarly. That further goes to show how the culture influenced Christianity in the biblical times. And that's just scratching the surface. Anyone who has read the bible knows what the people of that era thought about women. It was encouraged to oppress women, kill them if they weren't virgins, sell them into slavery, keep the virgins for yourself after you ransack a rival tribe after war, and many other despicable examples of sexism. Not to mention the other atrocities glorified/approved of in the bible, such as rape, genocide, war crimes, racism, homophobia, and child sacrifice. An all-powerful, all-knowing, all-loving god not bound by time could never look at these with indifference, nor allow them into his holy book.

The Bible says, a keeper of the home

[@coralarch]

The house must be "impeccable"? Obviously, this fool has no idea what children are like.

[@rosemarynew2173]

I'm disgusted.

[@cfbmoo1]

What a bunch of garbage, share the work at home or you aren't a good partner if you expect your other to do it all like that.

[@rebeccaanderson2980]

My job description involves consultation with patients and occasional surgery.I wonder if Bill would tell me my place is in the home if he came to my practice for surgery...?
