I think its just too much competition if you ask me. A typical political trick is to discredit your opponent without responding to the real issues. Truth is, if he is educated its been too much of it. Something about...ever learning and never able to come to the knowledge of truth...

I am a student of Jewish history and am well aware of the Talmud and all it teaches about women...but the Talmud is not Bible and neither are customs.

Would love to hear more Sis. Alvear!

How much influence did the Talmud and its teachings have on the OT cultures, and the NT churches?

CH, do you believe that the Bible is the infallible Word of God?

Nay. Not so.

I've already answered that question.

The irony here is rich.

I imagine it would be quite boring around here with you and Dan.

I'm sorry - I missed it. Did you answer yes or no?

I haven't kept up with the last few pages of this thread, but I would like to offer the following simple observation.

The worst problems in the church I pastor can be traced to a perversion of the original roles God intended men, women, and children to play.

Families, and the church, struggle when men are lazy and refuse to support the family unit they helped create. We suffer when women attempt to usurp spiritual leadership and authority. We suffer when children dictate the direction and mood of the home.

It grieves me to see the family unit under attack by well-meaning individuals within the church. These folks have fallen for a perverted worldview that despises masculine leadership and pastoral authority.

In the overwhelming majority of motion picture and television content, Hollywood, with the full force of it's bully-puplit, assaults the nuclear family unit. An agenda is quite obvious. The agenda is to promote "individualism" in the hopes of separating families from each other.

This is why sitcoms usually portray men as bumbling boobs who are incapable of rational thought. This is why women are normally shown as intellectually superior. This is why parents often defer to the greater wisdom of nine year old children in most Disney programming.

Make no mistake about it, the nuclear family is an endangered species. All because love has no strings attached, parents are friends instead of teachers, and the only men worthy of respect are limp-wristed, effiminate metrosexuals.
