I am sick and tired of attending these church events and see all these girly men prancing around within the church. Whats even worse is they are generally accompanied by an instrument on the platform?
Where have all the real men gone?
How feminine is too feminine and when does a guy with an intentional lisp fall under this portion of scripture?
The effeminate shall not enter the kingdom of God.
I tend to swoon and drop a hankie when a big strong brute of a man passes me in the hall at church . . . but the ushers have smelling salts ready for when my feminine sensibilties are overwhelmed.

My concern is not the songs we sing or the way we worship. Having taken on the role as the BRIDE of Christ I accept my role in the kingdom and my worship reflects such. However when ones character defines you as effeminate. If people in the world would question your sexuality based on your character than what does God think and is your girly worship leader splitting the pit with his gay mannerisms.

some women are going to be tomboys and more athletic.
some men are going to be bookish and not so tough.
all of us have hormones which are going to influence our behaviours.
I think we should allow people, within Godly reason, to be who they are.
If a women has a great job and wants to be the bread winner, and a man for whatever reason wants to take time to be involved with his kids, more power to them.

Sure. However, this thread addresses opinions and personal preferences that we are presumably too polite to discuss in most public venues. It isn't my job to make any effeminate man more masculine. I don't have that ability, anyway. That doesn't mean I'm going to be attracted to an effeminate man, simply because I have the knowledge that it isn't my place or within my reach to change them in any way. And we definitely teach our girls to look for "manly men" when looking for husband material. In today's culture, women are groomed to see passivity as being preferred in a man, but in reality that ends up being boring and unattractive. I'd rather tousle with a little too much testosterone than the other way around.
It IS important to note that a man being effeminate is a sin; it isn't homosexual behaviors alone that are wrong. Therefore, it's just as important for Christians to be aware of this as it is that they know to avoid adultery, lying or stealing. And the fact that it's classified with other optional behaviors tells me that effeminacy is just as much a choice as anything else. It can be learned, unlearned and chosen or not. (I Corinthians 6:9-10)
I looked up "effeminate" from I Corinthians.
Greek word - malakos, meaning: Of uncertain affinity; soft, that is, fine (clothing); figuratively a catamite: - effeminate, soft.
Interestingly enough, a "catamite" was a boy in ancient Greece who was "kept" by a pedophile.
Also interesting is the reference to "fine (clothing)."

This is a soapbox of mine, so I'll save it for another thread, but I do believe it's ideal for a woman to be the primary caretaker of her home and children--especially small children. That said, there's room for other arrangements as long as both husband and wife are in agreement.

You are just too feminine, Miss B!!! LOL

oh I agree, but, the world we are living in is not ideal. many, many men are out of work and can't support their wives at home. it's better for women to step up and help then for the man to be pushed to the point that he gives up and walks away and leaves a family stranded.
and while the family is doing all they can just to stay afloat, I would hope there would be no condemnation on the parents that they are not meeting expectations.
