But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown.

It's funny that you think men are always ahead of women in service, Roger, when, if it wasn't for the women who followed Jesus, no one would know that Jesus had risen. THe women were also the ones by the Lord's side when He died. The men hid their tails and ran. _________________ Don't get caught in the trap of thinking you know everything God has to say b/c you've read the Bible. Remember, God is STILL speaking.

EVEE,
NOT ALL the men ran and hid! You must read all 4 of the Gosples to get the proper perspective.
NOT ALL men are cowards, and yet many men have become followers as the women have taken over in our society!
LIKE the Florida Female teacher that had sex with a 14 year old boy, AND WORKED OUT A PLEA BARGIN!
DO YOU THINK that if the Teacher was MALE = he would have gotten OFF = = SO EASY? Not! ITS THAT POLITICALLY CORRECE [REALLY INCORRECT] MINDSET THAT IS RAMPART HERE IN AMERICA!
Thanks, RR |

Here's who found the empty tomb, according to each of the Gospels:
According to Matthew 28:1, only "Mary Magdalene and the other Mary."
According to Mark 16:1, "Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of James, and Salome."
According to Luke 23:55, 24:1 and 24:10, "the women who had come with him out of Galilee." Among these women were "Mary Magdalene and Joanna and Mary the mother of James." Luke indicates in verse 24:10 that there were at least two others.
According to John 20:1-4, Mary Magdalene went to the tomb alone, saw the stone removed, ran to find Peter, and returned to the tomb with Peter and another disciple.
Here's who they found at the empty tomb, according to each of the Gospels:
According to Matthew 28:2-4, an angel of the Lord with an appearance like lightning was sitting on the stone that had been rolled away. Also present were the guards that Pilate had contributed. On the way back from the tomb the women meet Jesus (Matthew 28:9).
According to Mark 16:5, a young man in a white robe was sitting inside the tomb.
According to Luke 24:4, two men in dazzling apparel. It is not clear if the men were inside the tomb or outside of it.
According to John 20:4-14, Mary and Peter and the other disciple initially find just an empty tomb. Peter and the other disciple enter the tomb and find only the wrappings. Then Peter and the other disciple leave and Mary looks in the tomb to find two angels in white. After a short conversation with the angels, Mary turns around to find Jesus.
Here's who they told afterwards, according to each of the Gospels:
According to Mark 16:8, "they said nothing to anyone."
According to Matthew 28:8, they "ran to report it to His disciples."
According to Luke 24:9, "they reported these things to the eleven and to all the rest."
According to John 20:18, Mary Magdalene announces to the disciples that she has seen the Lord. _________________ When Science was in its crib, Religion tried to strangle it.

|
|
WHERE DID THE WOMEN RUN OFF TO = AFTER CHRIST DIED?
DID YOU MISS THESE VERSES IN YOUR SEARCH? THE MEN WERE HERE = WHERE WERE THE WOMEN? ? ?
(John 19:38-to-42) And after this Joseph of Arimathaea, being a disciple of Jesus, but secretly for fear of the Jews, besought Pilate that he might take away the body of Jesus: and Pilate gave him leave. He came therefore, and took the body of Jesus.
(Joh 19:39) And there came also Nicodemus, which at the first came to Jesus by night, and brought a mixture of myrrh and aloes, about an hundred pound weight.
(Joh 19:40) Then took they the body of Jesus, and wound it in linen clothes with the spices, as the manner of the Jews is to bury.
(Joh 19:41) Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid.
(Joh 19:42) There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation day; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand.
THE WOMEN LEFT AFTER THE CRUCIFITION! IF THEY STUCK AROUND, THEY WOULD HAVE WRAPPED JESUS AS THE MEN DID!
They wouldn't have to come back on the Third Day, as the MEN HAD ALREADY INBALMED THE BODY WITH SPICES AND WRAPPED IT!
IF THE WOMEN STUCK AROUND = = AND DID NOT RUN OFF = = THEY WOULD HAVE HELPED WITH THE WARP!
PLEASE NO MORE DISPARAGING WORDS = = ABOUT MEN!

Roger,
Where were the women after the crucifixion you asked? Here's some things:
Matthew 27:61 - Mary Magdelene & the other Mary were sitting there opposite the tomb. (This is when Joseph, the rich man from Arimathea put the body in the tomb)
Mark 15:47 - Mary Magdalene & Mary the mother of Joses saw where he was laid. (When Joseph of Arimethea laid the body in the tomb)
Luke 23:55-56 - The women who had come w/Jesus from Galilee followed JOseph & saw the tomb & how his body was laid in it. Then they went home & prepared spices & perfumes.
John does not mention any women being there when Joseph laid the body in the tomb. However, in the very next chapter, it begins w/Mary Magdalene going to the tomb & seeing the stone rolled away. How would she know exactly where to go if she was not there when they laid Jesus in there?
So yes, the women were there after the crucifixion. _________________ Don't get caught in the trap of thinking you know everything God has to say b/c you've read the Bible. Remember, God is STILL speaking. And surprisingly, through people we DON'T expect. |

EVEE,
PERHAPS you could read my previous posting again? WHERE WERE THEY DURNING THE EMBALMING AND THE WRAPPING OF JESUS, AND THE BURIAL OF JESUS?
THEY were not there! AND NO, I am not down on women, I am looking and praying = for a Proverbs 31 & 2Peter 3 - one now!
NOW in todays society, the politically correct one = the Worse their Morals ARE = the more they are liked by everyone.
WOMEN ARE THE KEEPERS OF MORALITY OF A NATON = Quote from a Jewish Mother, in Israel.
AND HOW ABOUT JESSICA SIMPSON AND HER SISITER? Both Calimed to be Christians. And Their Father was supposed to be a Pastor for over 20 years. HE NOW MANAGES BOTH THEIR CAREES.
TO THE POINT. The movie, the Dukes of Hazars, in which Jessica stared in, "DID THAT MOVIE PROMOTE THE HOLINESS OF A CHRISTIAN WOMAN OR NOT? NOT! She even married an unbeliever and now they are getting divorced? THEY ARE REAL GOOD EXAMPLES OF = = TODAYS CHRISTIAN WOMAN? OR NOT? NOT!
And to take the point = WITHOUT GETTING YOU UPSET? Please read Romans 1:All. Then ANSWER the Question: Who left the Natural Use of the Humans in the Relations? Was it the Man -or- Was it the Woman? When you answer = IF YOU ANSWER = please use the verese from Romans 1?
SPECIAL NOTE: We are All Siners = MEN ARE SINNERS, WOMEN ARE SINNERS = =AND= = We need a Savior, Christ Jesus! See 1Cor 6:9-10-11.
WE MUST GET RID OF THIS = WE / THEM - - and - - This Women / Men = = differentail attitude!
WE ALL HAVE OUR ROLLS AND OUR PLACES!

Roger,
I understand that you don't want to come across as being degrading toward women, but comments like this:
| Quote: | | WE ALL HAVE OUR ROLLS AND OUR PLACES! |
make it sound like us women need to be barefoot & pregnant, in the kitchen! Come on, Roger, you're more intelligent than that!!!
I showed you that the women were right there along with Joseph from Aramethea when they buried Jesus. It was right there in what I quoted. Why is this so difficult for you? Also, you must think of how much Jesus weighed for a woman back then to lift him & wrap him & so forth. I am very sure that the women who were at Jesus' crucifixion were there when Joseph wrapped him. They then followed him to the burial site. I'm sure of that. It doesn't state it in there, but from my understanding, imagery of the scene, I'm sure of it.
For the record, I'M AGREEING WITH YOU HERE (since you just looove that CAPS button!!! ), I do know that a lot of Christian PEOPLE that claim to be Christian are not showing they are Christian by their actions. That is a fact. It's everywhere. _________________ Don't get caught in the trap of thinking you know everything God has to say b/c you've read the Bible. Remember, God is STILL speaking.

WHEN DID I EVER INFER OR IMPLY = that women, [any woman] should be barefoor & pregant, in the kitchen? NEVER!
THAT IS THE LIE THAT THE ABORTIONISTS USE AGAINST MEN IN THEIR 'family [destruction] planning death camps!'
YOU did not answer my question about Romans 1 ? ? Could you not find the answer? Or did you choose not to answer, WHO left the Natural Use FIRST = MAN OR WOMAN?
PERHAPS it is the "Gender Thing" you have against MEN bacause of some man or father or some other MALE? Please do not infer, nor put words into your POST, = THAT I DID NOT SAY OR IMPLY!
WOULD YOU ARGUE WITH GOD'S WORD?
(Tittus 2:3-4-5) The mature women likewise, = that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, = not false accusers, = not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

Roger,
I don't get how you think I'm against men. I'm married to one!!! It's just the words YOU use that seem to imply that YOU'RE against WOMEN! LOL Imagine this for a moment, Roger. What if you said to a woman, "You know your place!" What would that woman think? And I mean really think about how someone would react if you said that to them. THis is exactly how your words came across the screen. That might not have been the way you intended it, but that's the way it came across.
I know what Romans 1 states. I'm wondering what point that proves?
You could never be my enemy, Roger. _________________ Don't get caught in the trap of thinking you know everything God has to say b/c you've read the Bible. Remember, God is STILL speaking. And surprisingly, through people we DON'T expect. |

YOUR QUOTE:
It's just the words YOU use that seem to imply that YOU'RE against WOMEN!
RESPONSE:
As I address the MAIN THREAD, my responses are towards those THAT ARE IGNORANT = That the Holy Scriptures = WERE WRITTEN BY THE MEN = INSPIRED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT! See 2Peter 2:21.
I HAVE ADDRESSED = with Holy Scriptures those Ideas, that were put forth that Women were somehow more in ministry TO JESUS, than were men AND VICA VERSA! That premise is a lie!
Just because one woman is married to a man, DOES NOT MEAN that one's attitude toward = MEN IN GENREAL = is right! I have read in your POSTS a certain underlying attitude = AGAINST MEN!
EVEN THAT ATTITTUDE and inference that I would suggest = THE PREMICE OF PLANNED PARENTHOOD [those Abortionists!] that women = are to be kept, barefoot and pregnanat!
(Psalma 127:3) Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: = and the fruit of the womb is His [GOD'S] reward.
ROMANS 1 = proves that women were perverted first, they left the naturla use of the man! Women were the first decieved, Genesis 3:1! Women fail to obey Titus 2:3-4-5, and Ephesians 5:33-b and the wife see that she reverence her husband.
THE ALL AROUND DISTAIN FOR MEN, can even be seen in the Simple Minded ADVERTISEMENTS on the Television, where a MAN is always made to LOOK LIKE AN A-- [donkey]!
REMEMBER MY STATEMENT QUOTED FROM A JEWISH MOTHER OF ISRAEL? "Women keep the MORALITY of a Nation"
(Eze 16:44) Behold, every one that useth proverbs shall use this proverb against thee, saying, = As is the mother, so is her daughter.
PERHAPS, if one will do away with this Post Modernism - Feminist Cultrue MENTALITY = there would be more of an WITNESS FOR CHRIST = AND LESS OF THAT PERVERTED = US -vs- THEM!

Okay Roger. I guess don't understand how you can infer from my writings that I'm against men in general. I don't think that way, never have. I think you're misunderstanding me. All I commented on was the particular statement that YOU made saying, We all have our roles & our PLACES. This kind of statement infers (whether you like to believe it or not) that women have a certain place. When you make statements such as, Men are AHEAD of women in SERVICE. Roger, all I was trying to point out (perhaps badly) was that the women who followed Jesus did a great service to Him by telling the other apostles that He had risen. They were also there during his crucifixion weeping. If you can find for me where the rest of the male apostles were during the crucifixion, please do so.
As you state in YOUR OWN WORDS -- | Quote: | | SPECIAL NOTE: We are All Siners = MEN ARE SINNERS, WOMEN ARE SINNERS = =AND= = We need a Savior, Christ Jesus! See 1Cor 6:9-10-11. | we are ALL followers of Christ, not just men, not just women.
Your trying to prove that women did this first & women did that first & the men followed, simply shows from YOUR ATTITUDE that you have a certain UNDERLYING attitude (as you stated to me) that you have a disdain toward women & BELIEVE that women are BENEATH men. I do not have a dislike toward men in general. Your posts simply rubbed me the wrong way b/c of YOUR words, not scripture. I know exactly what scripture says. I have read the Bible. For you to say, go read this, go read that, seems to IMPLY that I haven't read those words. I have. Many times.
I was not pointing out that ALL men are cowards. Who hid when Jesus was arrested? Peter. He is a MAN! Who was there out of the apostles when Jesus was being crucified? The women. Who was the first to sit by His side & not leave Him in his visit to Lazarus? Mary, Martha's sister. It all depends on the INDIVIDUAL, not men vs women. Are there women cowards as well? You bet. It's all individual, my friend.

I know what my wedding vows were. I live them everyday. I follow them everyday. I have been married for 15 years & going strong. And, we have 3 beautiful children.
| Quote: | | I HAVE ADDRESSED = with Holy Scriptures those Ideas, that were put forth that Women were somehow more in ministry TO JESUS, than were men AND VICA VERSA! That premise is a lie! |
I don't believe this. Yet, in YOUR WORDS you seem to imply that MEN are in MORE service than WOMEN. This is simply not true.
| Quote: | | THE ALL AROUND DISTAIN FOR MEN, can even be seen in the Simple Minded ADVERTISEMENTS on the Television, where a MAN is always made to LOOK LIKE AN A-- [donkey]! |
This may be true. There also advertisements (majority) that are degrading toward women. May I say an all around disdain for women can be seen everywhere you look? _________________ Don't get caught in the trap of thinking you know everything God has to say b/c you've read the Bible.
