大家看問題應該看全面。這些話語是在兩千年以前產生的。那是一個什麼時代呢?是不是和現在一樣,擁有完全的男女平等呢?不!!!當時的基督徒人群是最講究男女平等的。平等到被其他的人看作是異類。為什麼會有「女人要沉靜學道,一味的順服」「我不許女人講道,也不許她管轄男人」之類的言論?還不是因為有這樣的事情發生?兩千多年前的社會,除了基督教,還有哪裡會讓女人在台上講道,下面一大群男人在聽?要知道,2000年以前,女人是男人的附屬品,可以買賣,甚至無端殺掉,也只需給娘家一些賠償即可了事。
於是,當時的基督教會做出決定,禁止女人講道,附加上許多其它,外觀上合乎周圍人道德觀的打扮。 -
Dear zhangt1229 brother,
I think that you are missing the point. The above is just your personal thoughts on this, and it is not quite relevant to the questions being asked. And I think the point of 嘁哩喀喳 is (correct me if I am wrong) why we as Christians on one hand says the Bible is God's words - some even give the impression that each every words is from God; then why at least most of us do not obey the clear teaching from St. Paul on those specific things, which is part of Bible. It seems we are not really following God, we can pick and choose according to our own thoughts, using our own reasons. It is a very good, and valid point.
But why my dear brother and other brothers and sisters, you all are dancing around this point, not giving direct answers. It seems to me that you are afraid to give direct answers to simple questions. Indirectly your answers already pointed out that some of the Bible verses, are not to be followed, are not God's words. Then why not to be clear on this so that we can truthfully study Bible. Once again I want to emphasize that we should not treat Bible as Chairman Mao's book - following each every words blindly.
We should avoid doing the usual 「Christian」 way of answering questions - Never say any seemingly negative things related to Bible. Yet in real life we are so bold that we do not follow certain teachings in Bible. Since we are afraid to say this verse is wrong and not from God, then we are using human logic to say we do not have to follow. Then this is really not consistent, in front of non-Christians, we are like following, Christians have faith in God, try to obey all God's words, Bible is God's words, but since we are in modern society so certain verse of Bible – God's words (if we do not make distinction), do not apply. Wow, did we also say God is our Lord, or maybe we are God's lord so we decided that base on our level of civilization to determine which God's words apply, which not? Brothers and sisters, this is not a beautiful picture in front of non-believers. It bothers people, giving the impression that Christians are not truthful to our own claims! |
