Ignant...
People who seriously claim with all sincerity that the Bible is just some archaic collection of man-made words compiled by people and is therefore something to read for pleasure, good stories, or even to be placed aside and ignored... these people i would ask if they sincerely read the entire Book from cover to cover...
Much of the people who claim to have read this have never even flipped it open much less began to diligently read it for what it says itself...
And what is sincerely funny is that such people claim to know that the Bible is not worth are those who either take everything written out of context, or never really opened it...
And yet, there are so many words and statements in Scripture than can explain many many things...
From the ills of human society and where these ills originate from... to the medical understandings... to the meaning of life... to even how to have a very satisfying and very passionate marital sex life...
Let me elude to the last point
Addressing to those who claim that the Bible has nothing for you... may I point you to the book of Song of Solomon
This particular book is a collection of poetic writings between a husband and his wife... we catch intimate glimpses of their meeting, courtship, marriage, honeymoon, and interaction between the two... it's intense, erotic, passionate, sexual, poetic, and just a depository of love poems... and very VERY relevant... its an erotic poem collection par excellance...
In this book, we literally see them have sex twice in this book... she also does a striptease for him (which I never knew till a few months after studying this book)... there are allusions of oral sex (YES IN MARRIAGE)... and basically we get prescriptions and descriptions...
We also get wisdom points in this book...
- husbands in order to get a lil sumsum from their wives, be verbally generous to her... encourage her to help her overcome her insecurities, talk to her alot, speak well of her, pour forth speech of love and kindness to her...
- wives in order to get a lil sumsum from your husbands, be visually generous to him... let him see you... lights are on... doors are open when you're bathing or changing...
- be on each other's team
- make love and make love often and alot with each other in your marriage
- don't have sex till you're married because that's the only time where it's in the right context
- if you sin against each other (which will happen): repent, talk it through, work it out, forgive each other, and start back up again
- dudes need to get jobs and supply a house for her to come home to... and NOT to mama
- if you have passion as a woman in your marriage, that's good and you should act on it...
- don't deprive each other
- if you got an idea involving your spouse, DO IT... no matter how crazy it is and just so long as it's not sinful or it breaks the law
- fellas need to love just one woman and be passionate about her no matter what
- gals need to be walls where noone can enter in than a door (if that makes sense)
- husbands need to long for their wives
- wives need to love for their husbands
- daddys need to contribute to the protection, growth, support, and education of their daughters in helping them navigate the perversity of the culture and the sinfulness of little boys who want to do nothing more than to ravage and ruin the treasures that their daughters are...if these aren't applicable to life today... I don't know what is...
again... people who claim the Bible has nothing relevant for our lives today either have never read it or are just completely and totally and grossly misinformed...
Ignant I tell you...

Ignant indeed. I've been thinking about this topic too lately. What blows my mind is that you wouldn't walk in to a movie halfway through, watch 2 minutes and decide that you know everything about the movie; yet people pick up a bible, find a verse and take it way out of context to prove whatever stupid point they think they have. You have to know more than that - what kind of writing is it, who wrote it, to whom it is written, when it was written, what was happening when the author wrote it....then maybe you can draw some conclusions. Granted, there are some quotes that are universal - i.e. love the Lord your God...and love your neighbor as yourself. I think that's pretty universal. But yeah, ignant.
PS...I like your daddys statement...
@IamKelleyK@xanga - it's because people as described as such want to hold the Bible to another standard... problem is that they don't put that kind of scrutiny upon their college textbooks or the writings of their teachers... but the BIBLE... oooooohhhhh... it's the Bible so we need to put that in another standard of understanding to the point of such scrutiny... and on and on it goes...
I was just having a conversation about this with someone and it was actually something my Sunday school teacher talked about. People don't see the need for the Bible. They think it's just a book full of fable stories and just some words from some men. They don't see the significance. People are going to be blind until they are ready to see what God has laid out.
well... i would personally say that unless God shows them in His Sovereignty, they will remain blind till God chooses to make them see...
Our ladies Sunday School class just finished studying Song Of Solomon.
You stated 'if you have passion as a woman, that's good and you should act on it.' I do a double take when I read things like that- it's so refreshing and rare to read on a Christian's site. I am one of " those women", and though it's wonderful for our marriage, it totally makes a hypocrite out of me when I'm with other Christian women. I wish so much we'd hear more about the okayness of this, so that women like us don't have to fake laughs at the comments other wives make about their husbands or fall silent in Sunday School discussions when ladies are quoting Scripture on why to fulfill our husband's needs when we don't feel like it. Cause that's never us.
I don't think God intended Song of Solomon to be one-sided, the same as He never intended sex to be one-sided. I don't see why a lot of Christian women don't get that, unless they just don't have awesome husbands who really love them and consider them like mine does.
