Howdy! This is my 1st comment here so I just wanted to give a quick shout out and say I really enjoy reading through your blog posts. Can you recommend any other blogs/websites/forums that cover the same topics? Thank you!

Jenny F.,

The comments you bring up are interesting, but really not relevant. As Christians, we should look to the Bible as the final authority on all things in our life. We are not to use the society we live in or the circumstances we are in to determine what we should do or how we interpret what the Bible says. If the Bible says something, even if it doesn't seem to "fit" with our circumstances or "fit" in our society, we still must do it- and we cannot help but speak about it as well, as Kelly does here on her blog.

I can see that Anon. is suggesting that we need to see everything in its right context. The Bible was written 2000 years ago, and the society looked obviously different at that time. If we didn’t have working women in our modern society, how would everything go around? I am thinking of the proffession that I’m in; social worker. 90 % of the social workers in my country are women, and more than 90 % of the nurses in my country, are women as well. How can you say and believe that a society would work if we didn’t have these women to help the weaker and poor people? These two areas; nursing and social work, is since ages dominated by women. It’s not too popular for men to work in this area. That isn’t something we can change over a night, and it doesn’t matter if we could bring more men into this proffession, cause then we would lack of labour somewhere else.
Would you suggest it’s okay for a woman to work before she settles down with a family? Would you suggest that’s a solution? But then you must realize that educating yourself 3,5 years just to work for some few years, wouldn’t gain many. And if all these thousands of women eventually decide to stay home, we would all be in a miserable situation. The poor people wouldn’t get the help their needed. The criminality rate would raise to extremely high levels. More children would suffer from not being heard and seen in the society… Suggesting that a society should work in another way is extremely naive, egoistical and not in line with the messages I get in the Bible.

Ps. Sorry for my bad English. It’s my third language.

You clearly haven't read any of my other posts besides this one.

I have consistenly fought "against" feminism because it ironically degrades women and tears them down. My stance is that JESUS, (yes I've written specifically about this) was the true liberator of women, bringing them to the position of EQUAL value with men.

The feminist's problem is that they do not comprehend how a woman can both follow/submit to her husband and still be equal in value to him...

The true picture, the relevance Paul wrote about for his day and ours, is that a husband was given the position of head just as Christ was; Christ lay down his life for his bride, both symbolically while he was living, and physically.

That's the picture the Bible gives of true submission and authority. A godly man will lay down his life for his bride. That automatically *exalts* her to a position FAR beyond what the feminist agenda does.

It's a freeing, valuing gospel our Lord teaches. That's the same one I promote.

If it’s all right for men to be submissive to an employer, then why is it wrong for women? I guess men aren’t worshipping Mammon…Again a double standard, in fact you’re violating human rights by prescribing a certain conduct on people based on their gender. Another thing: you interpret the Bible the way you want in order to support your position. How about putting things in context? St Paul wrote 2000 years ago for that society and some verses apply exclusively to that specifical historical context. St Paul also writes about slaves obeying to their masters. Since it’s in the Bible, do you suggest we should have slaves? Then we must have commited a grave sin by abolishing slavery…How about the verse that says there are no men, women, but we’re all one in Christ? Another thing: you NEVER mention or think about the way Jesus treated women, giving them an important place in his life and mission, in a time when women had almost no rights, certainly played no part in the spiritual life of the Jews. Oddly, you never mention that, but stick to a couple of verses written by St Paul for a specific society. Concentrate on Jesus, please, he is our Saviour and we should follow his teachings. Also, as Christians we are bound to love our enemies, so if you decided feminism is your enemy, you should love us and pray for us, not judge us, criticize us and call us names.

I am the “Kim” Erin is talking about. I hope your blog can touch her life. She is about to get married next spring. She is my “baby” since she was born 12 years younger than me.

You don’t know me, and I have never read your blog before but my sister (Kim) has told me about how great it is, and how you have a way with words. I really love this post and COMPLETELY agree with it. I just want to say that when “anonymous” people make obviously ignorant comments, just remember, at least they’re reading your blog, and even if they disagree with it, at least it makes them think. =) I’ve read several of your posts and I agree with all of it- I want to have a big family if it’s the Lord’s Will, and when I tell people how many kids I want to have they look at me like I’m crazy. =/

Exactly! You are one of the few, the rare that sees this dichotomy in the feminazi argument. They say they won’t become a submissive wife – but they ARE submissive employees? Why are they so? – FOR MONEY! They worship MAMMON that devil and NOT God. In fact, they BLASPHEME THE WORD OF GOD and want to bring others into the same spiritual slavery as them.

Thank you for posting your insight into their dark and faulty reasonings sister! Yah bless you & yours richly!
