‘Housewives are Dependent Creatures Who are Still Children – Parasites’ Says Feminist

‘Housewives are Dependent Creatures Who are Still Children – Parasites’ Says Feminist: "According to Scripture, the noblest profession for any woman is that of wife and mother and keeper of the home.  The Bible describes the attributes of a good housewife in Proverbs 31:10-31.  It’s an industrious life of not only caring for her family, but for also spending some of her time making things like clothing or baked goods to sell to others so she can earn money for the household needs and helping the poor"

Does Christianity make too much of porn? | Rick Thomas: "Do we make too much of porn? Why am I asking this question? A recent study from Case Western Reserve researchers concluded that there is a strong relationship between religious belief and the perception that personal porn use is an “addiction.”"

What similarities are there between the Gilgamesh flood account and biblical flood account?

What similarities are there between the Gilgamesh flood account and biblical flood account?: "Answer: There are many similarities between the Gilgamesh flood account and biblical flood account (Genesis 6–8), beginning most importantly with God choosing a righteous man to build an ark because of an impending great flood. In both accounts, samples from all species of animals were to be on the ark, and birds were used after the rains to determine if flood waters had subsided anywhere to reveal dry land. There are other similarities between the Gilgamesh flood account and biblical flood account."

Had it ever rained before the Flood in Noah's day?

Had it ever rained before the Flood in Noah's day?: "nswer: Some interpret Hebrews 11:7 as saying it had never rained prior to the Flood: “By faith Noah, when warned about things not yet seen, in holy fear built an ark to save his family. By his faith he condemned the world and became heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.” Rain could be the correct understanding of “things not yet seen,” or it could be referring to the Flood in general"

What was the purpose of the flood in the time of Noah?

What was the purpose of the flood in the time of Noah?: "Answer: Genesis 6 gives the sad account of the state of humanity prior to the worldwide flood during the days of Noah. Genesis 6:5 states, “The LORD saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time.” The level of sin and corruption among the human population was staggering: people thought about doing evil “all the time.” For the strong and healthy individual, an evil lifestyle would have ramifications evidenced by disease and death. But the weak or unhealthy (babies, children, women, and the disabled) would have been immediately put in harm’s way by the evil actions of others."

Question of the Week

Question of the Week: "wer: The global flood of Noah’s day was the direct judgment of a just God. The Bible says the flood wiped out “people and animals and the creatures that move along the ground and the birds”—everything that breathed air (Genesis 7:23). Some people today are offended by the flood story, saying it is proof of God’s injustice, arbitrariness, or just plain meanness. They accuse the Bible of promoting a temperamental God who judges indiscriminately and say that only a bully would drown everyone, including children and all those innocent animals."
