MISTREATMENT OF WOMEN IN THE BIBLE

Which is more correct: “THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD?”  or “THE GOD OF THE BIBLE?” Even more exact:
“THE GOD OF THE OLD TESTAMENT?” or “THE GOD OF THE NEW  TESTAMENT?”
Even deeper:
“THE GOD OF LAW?” or “THE GOD OF LOVE?”
Is it better to tell people what to believe? or Ask them if they would like to share with you what they believe?
I’m almost done.  Everything you believe is your decision.  No one else.  I will leave you with a couple of statements to consider, if you want.
When Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit of knowledge of Good and Evil… Who got the harshest of punishment? Eve! Adam’s punishment was that his herbs would sprout thorns and he would get to rule over Eve, is that really a punishment? Then Eve got pain in childbirth, pain in conception… and became a servant of sorts to Adam. Not to mention the official punishment for Adam was for listening to his wife. (Genesis 3:16-17) #1
The God of the Bible decrees that woman must submit to the dominance of man.
“The social and legal position of an Israelite wife was inferior to the position a wife occupied in the great countries round about… all the texts show that Israelites wanted mainly sons to perpetuate the family line and fortune, and to preserve the ancestral inheritance… A husband could divorce his wife; women on the other hand could not ask for divorce.. #2

It’s not up to: Your friend, husband or wife, your parent’s, pastor, etc.

GLOBAL WARMING CAUSES MORE SEVERE STORMS….

Research Meteorologists found that the temperature changes brought on by global warming are significant enough to cause an increase in the occurrence of severe storms. Severe storms are those that cause flooding, have damaging winds, hail and could cause tornados. Their study revealed that by the end of this century, the number of days that favor severe storms could more than double certain locations, such as Atlanta and New York. Researchers also found that this increase would occur during typical stormy seasons and not during dry seasons when it may be beneficial.
As new storm forecasts hit home, areas already prone to severe weather need to be on the lookout for more storms. The latest forecast says global warming spells bad news for those areas……………….
HOW STORMS DEVELOP: Storm clouds form as moisture evaporates from the earth into the atmosphere, where the droplets jostle against each other. The air cools off rapidly as it reaches higher altitudes. Sometimes a cold front — the boundary between where the cold air from one air mass meets the surrounding air — will force warm, moist air upward into the colder air. This moist air cools off and the water vapor condenses onto tiny particles in the air, called condensation nuclei, collectively forming clouds. The process continues: more and more water vapor turns into liquid and the moist air warms up even more and rises higher and higher. A thunderstorm results.
WHAT CAUSES LIGHTNING? As more and more water droplets collide inside a cloud, their atoms bounce off each other more forcefully. This knocks off electrons. The ousted electrons gather at the lower portion of the cloud, giving it a negative charge, while the upper part of the cloud becomes positively charged. Eventually the growing negative charge becomes so intense that electrons on the Earth’s surface are repelled and burrow deeper into the Earth. The Earth’s surface becomes positively charged, and hence very attractive to the negative charge accumulating in the bottom of the cloud. All that is needed is a conductive path between cloud and Earth, in the form of ionized air.
ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING: Global warming refers to an average increase in the earth’s temperature, which has risen about 1 degree Fahrenheit over the past 100 years, and to changes in climate. A warmer earth may lead to changes in rainfall patterns, and a rise in sea level, for example, as the polar glaciers melt. Some of this rise is due to the greenhouse effect: certain gases in the atmosphere trap energy from the sun so that heat can’t escape back into space. Without the greenhouse effect, the earth would be too cold for humans to survive, but if it becomes too strong, the earth could become much warmer, causing problems for humans, plants and animals.

THE LONG VIEW OF “WHAT’S IT ALL ABOUT…”

Most people think that we never believe everything one person states; but through reading, listening, meditating, etc. from many we begin to sense a ring of truth as a whole.  The following comes the closest for me to what it’s really all about. -mackie (source cited below).
“Some day, after we have mastered the winds, the waves, the tides and gravity,
we will harness for God, the energies of love. And then,
for the second time in the history of the world,
man will have discovered fire.”
For me there is something mesmerizing about these words of the scientist/philosopher and theologian, Teilhard De Chardin. As a scientist of the 20th. Century, he exults in the achievements of science but he points to a greater energy, stronger than nuclear power, greater than anything we have yet been able to tap. He says, “Just wait. We haven’t seen anything yet. Just wait until the day comes when we harness the energy of love — then we will, for the second time in the history of the world, discovered fire. That’s pretty powerful stuff.
But wait a second. We already know all about love, don’t we? We know exactly what it looks like. Love leaps out at us when we see a mother caressing her newborn; in the way a newlywed couple gaze at one another, in the silent vigil of an old man at the deathbed of his wife. We witness love in the self-sacrifice of a Mother Teresa and in the way people give of themselves and their resources to alleviate the suffering of people in impoverished countries. Love is what makes Moms and Dads put away their savings so that their kids can go to college. Love makes a perfect stranger risk his own life to save the life of a child. It is the glue of long lasting marriages. A silent presence at the birth of a child. Love makes a child pick up a fallen sparrow and try to nurse it back to health. So what does De Chardin mean when he says “Some day we will harness for God the energies of love?”
