Erm. . are we complaining?

Numbers 27

8 "Say to the Israelites, 'If a man dies and leaves no son, turn his inheritance over to his daughter.


Numbers 6

6 "If she marries after28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. [c] He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives. she makes a vow or after her lips utter a rash promise by which she obligates herself 7 and her husband hears about it but says nothing to her, then her vows or the pledges by which she obligated herself will stand. 8 But if her husband forbids her when he hears about it, he nullifies the vow that obligates her or the rash promise by which she obligates herself, and the LORD will release her.


Deut 22;

23 If a man happens to meet in a town a virgin pledged to be married and he sleeps with her, 24 you shall take both of them to the gate of that town and stone them to death—the girl because she was in a town and did not scream for help, and the man because he violated another man's wife. You must purge the evil from among you.

28 If a man happens to meet a virgin who is not pledged to be married and rapes her and they are discovered, 29 he shall pay the girl's father fifty shekels of silver. [c] He must marry the girl, for he has violated her. He can never divorce her as long as he lives.


1 Corinthians 14

34 women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. 35If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.


1 Timothy 2

11A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. 13For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15But women[a] will be saved[b] through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

1 Corinthians 11
3Now I want you to realize that the head of every man is Christ, and the head of the woman is man, and the head of Christ is God. 4Every man who prays or prophesies with his head covered dishonors his head. 5And every woman who prays or prophesies with her head uncovered dishonors her head—it is just as though her head were shaved. 6If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off; and if it is a disgrace for a woman to have her hair cut or shaved off, she should cover her head. 7A man ought not to cover his head,[b] since he is the image and glory of God; but the woman is the glory of man. 8For man did not come from woman, but woman from man; 9neither was man created for woman, but woman for man. 10For this reason, and because of the angels, the woman ought to have a sign of authority on her head.

Leviticus 12:

1 The LORD said to Moses, 2 "Say to the Israelites: 'A woman who becomes pregnant and gives birth to a son will be ceremonially unclean for seven days, just as she is unclean during her monthly period. 3 On the eighth day the boy is to be circumcised. 4 Then the woman must wait thirty-three days to be purified from her bleeding. She must not touch anything sacred or go to the sanctuary until the days of her purification are over. 5 If she gives birth to a daughter, for two weeks the woman will be unclean, as during her period. Then she must wait sixty-six days to be purified from her bleeding.

Matthew 5
31"It has been said, 'Anyone who divorces his wife must give her a certificate of divorce.'[f] 32But I tell you that anyone who divorces his wife, except for marital unfaithfulness, causes her to become an adulteress, and anyone who marries the divorced woman commits adultery.

Huxley,

In order for you to understand those verses you quoted you must first know the difference in the Old Testament and the New Testament.
You must also know why today some of these laws don't apply in Christianity.

Christ said that we shouldn't divorce, when questioned about why divorce was allowed in the law of Moses, he said it was allowed because of the hardness of the man's heart.

Women are not being punished by God by asking them to be in submission to men because Eve gave the fruit to Adam.
Women were created as helpers and as a mate for the man. Not the other way round. Because women are tender and softer than men, men are supposed to be the protectors of women. Women are not supposed to be abandoned by the men. Men are supposed to understand the nature of the woman and cater to her needs. While the woman is to understand the man and stand by him and support him.

They are each other's helpmate.

Javalove, isn't the quran the book that says men should beat their wives?
Your hypocrisy stinks everywhere.

MC Usman, don't let me share the teachings of the quran on women, if taken literally it is worse. But I am sure that there's an explanation of it and that it shouldn't be taken literally but the Bible should be taken literally, the stench of hypocrisy from muslims is too strong to bear.

"Eve gave Adam the apple", what point where you trying to put across there??

I think you got it twisted. This is what the bible said; MAN WAS NOT CREATED FOR THE WOMAN, BUT WOMAN FOR MAN. Which means a woman's only purpose in life is to serve a man. _{Not my word, Its in the bible.}



The Bible Tells us that the woman was cursed because she was the one who gave the fruit to Adam. That is why she is the one who must go thru the pain of child birth, but that which was is her curse is also her blessing, the woman brings life into this world. The man is nothing without his Helper( the woman). God has given the woman great blessing, it easy to be a boss, but to be a servant now that takes work.

If you look closely at the highlighted portion of my extract from huxleys post, you'll see that all those scriptures all come from the new testament.
