Does Genesis establish gender roles?

Are Gender Roles a Social Construct?

by Steve Golden, AiG–U.S., July 6, 2012

If we misunderstand what the Bible says about gender, then we will misunderstand issues like homosexual behavior, the roles of husbands and wives, and what it means to be male or female.

In Genesis 1:27 we read that God created man male and female—Adam and Eve—and He made males and females different physically and distinct in their roles. Genesis 2:18 makes Eve’s role clear: “It is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.” Eve was from the bone and flesh of Adam, meaning she is equal in her standing before God and yet distinct from man (Galatians 3:28). But God gave Adam the authority not only to name the animals but also to name his wife, indicating that she does not share equal authority with her husband. In the Bible’s wording, she is his helper.

See why gender roles matter based on the clear teaching of Scripture.

Lyrics (the best that I could make out):

That hands on the wheel (repeat 4 times)
i've been feeling so sad but this life is but a game

but i was so surprised
i wasn't supposed to live this long
i'm happy by myself dark summer nights smiling faces at the party all in disguise
i'm hanging by myself we call this suicide
you only live once (yolo) is how i chose to live this life
yeah oh oh live like i'm dying though (repeat 2)
oh oh i'm riding all alone (repeat 2)
that hands on the wheel (4 times)

Dealing with Jealousy. Vol. 3

By Pastor Jefferson O Imgbi
www.transcendword.co.uk

If you find yourself experiencing the negative impact of jealousy or find that, your response to jealousy is in a very aggressive manner, you should seek professional assistance. There is nothing to be ashamed for because your health is very important. People have died expressing anger because of jealousy. Jealousy is very deadly, you do not have to play with it because it is not friendly, and it will crush you. Let us now summarise all I have been saying about dealing with jealousy.

Dealing with Jealousy. Vol. 2

by Pastor Jefferson O Imgbi
www.transcendword.co.uk

Stop the comparisons! Comparing yourself to others is a sure fire way to bring on feelings of jealousy. By comparing yourself to others, you are creating a false sense of self-worth. Always keep in mind that everyone is different. Everyone has good qualities, bad qualities, mistakes, regrets, and accomplishments. Sure, that person your partner is talking to may be funny and charming, but she is with you for a reason. Next time you find yourself comparing yourself to someone else, make a conscious effort to stop and think about your good qualities instead.

Does Christianity Cause Wars?

Mark Spence, from Living Waters, teaches on the subject of "Christianity Has Caused More Wars Than Anything Else in History!"

This segment is taken from The Way of the Master TV show, Episode: Zurich
http://www.livingwaters.com/index.php?page=shop.browse&category_id=10&option=com_virtuemart&Itemid=199&lang=en

"Christianity has caused more wars than anything else in history."
Some skeptics say Christianity has caused more wars than anything else in history. They paint a picture of Christians as the most murderous group of people, and somehow, this objection is supposed to discredit the claims of Christ and debunk the Bible in one single jab.

Now, I agree man has used "religion" for political gain. But then again, sinful man has used everything under the sun for political gain. Just because a politician or a military leader uses the name of God to further his agenda, that does not mean God approves.

In John 16, Jesus tells us that there will be some who will murder in the name of God. He says, "the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God." John 16 goes on to say, " they will do these things because they have not known the Father, nor me."

These are not true Christians. The Bible explains that hypocrites and deceivers will always be in and around the Christian church until God punishes them on the Day of Judgment. Jesus told His followers to love their enemies.

So, if a man puts a knife into someone's back in the name of Christianity, something obviously isn't right. Let's not forget the Bible tells us all murderers, including those who've had murderous thoughts in their heart will not make it to heaven.

Following the teachings of the Bible will not lead you to start a war. In fact, it's the Bible that teaches us to be at peace with all men.

Book of Revelation Series: Chapter 3, Part 1

Sardis or Sardes (Lydian: Sfard; Greek: Σάρδεις, Sardeis; Persian: سارد, Sārd) was an ancient city at the location of modern Sart (Sartmahmut before 19 October 2005) in Turkey's Manisa Province. Sardis was the capital of the ancient kingdom of Lydia,[1] one of the important cities of the Persian Empire, the seat of a proconsul under the Roman Empire, and the metropolis of the province Lydia in later Roman and Byzantine times. As one of the Seven churches of Asia, it was addressed by the author of the Book of Revelation in terms which seem to imply that its population was notoriously soft and fainthearted. Its importance was due, first to its military strength, secondly to its situation on an important highway leading from the interior to the Aegean coast, and thirdly to its commanding the wide and fertile plain of the Hermus...Since 1958, both Harvard and Cornell Universities have sponsored annual archeological expeditions to Sardis. These excavations unearthed perhaps the most impressive synagogue in the western diaspora yet discovered from antiquity, yielding over eighty Greek and seven Hebrew inscriptions as well as numerous mosaic floors.(Wikipedia)

Revelation 3
Amplified Bible (AMP)

3 And to the angel (messenger) of the assembly (church) in Sardis write: These are the words of Him Who has the seven Spirits of God [[a]the sevenfold Holy Spirit] and the seven stars: I know your record and what you are doing; you are supposed to be alive, but [in reality] you are dead.

2 Rouse yourselves and keep awake, and strengthen and invigorate what remains and is on the point of dying; for I have not found a thing that you have done [any work of yours] meeting the requirements of My God or perfect in His sight.

3 So call to mind the lessons you received and heard; continually lay them to heart and obey them, and repent. In case you will not rouse yourselves and keep awake and watch, I will come upon you like a thief, and you will not know or suspect at what hour I will come.

4 Yet you still have a few [persons’] names in Sardis who have not soiled their clothes, and they shall walk with Me in white, because they are worthy and deserving.

5 Thus shall he who conquers (is victorious) be clad in white garments, and I will not erase or blot out his name from the Book of Life; I will acknowledge him [as Mine] and I will confess his name openly before My Father and before His angels.(A)

6 He who is able to hear, let him listen to and heed what the [Holy] Spirit says to the assemblies (churches).

***********************************************************************************

Jesus says He has the Seven Spirits of God (or the Sevenfold Holy Spirit) and the seven stars. What He says about the Church of Sardis is very sad. He says that the Church of Sardis is dead and that they need to wake up. They need to repent and reinvigorate what is left of them. He says that He hasn't found any work they've done that meet God's requirement of them. So, Jesus urges them to recall and obey the lessons they've already received and heard, and to continually be mindful of them. He doesn't want them to be caught unaware when He comes. He mentions that there are a few people who have not 'soiled their clothes' and they shall walk with Him in white because they are worthy and deserving. It is so sad to think of soiling your clothes and not being able to walk in white with the Lord. He says that those who are victorious will be clad in white garments. He also, very importantly, says that those who are victorious will not have their name erased or blotted out of the Book of Life. Those who are victorious will be acknowledged as His and Jesus will confess their names to the Father and before His angels.

The Matthew Henry Commentary says this:

about the sevenfold Holy Spirit and the seven stars: He hath the seven spirits, that is, the Holy Spirit with his various powers, graces, and operations; for he is personally one, though efficaciously various, and may be said here to be seven, which is the number of the churches, and of the angels of the churches, to show that to every minister, and to every church, there is a dispensation and measure of the Spirit given for them to profit withal—a stock of spiritual influence for that minister and church to improve, both for enlargement and continuance, which measure of the Spirit is not ordinarily withdrawn from them, till they forfeit it by misimprovement. Churches have their spiritual stock and fund, as well as particular believers; and, this epistle being sent to a languishing ministry and church, they are very fitly put in mind that Christ has the seven spirits, the Spirit without measure and in perfection, to whom they may apply themselves for the reviving of his work among them. (2.) He hath the seven stars, the angels of the churches; they are disposed of by him, and accountable to him, which should make them faithful and zealous. He has ministers to employ, and spiritual influences to communicate to his ministers for the good of his church. The Holy Spirit usually works by the ministry, and the ministry will be of no efficacy without the Spirit; the same divine hand holds them both.

another thing about Christ's introduction to this message: There is this observable in it, that whereas in the other epistles Christ begins with commending what is good in the churches, and then proceeds to tell them what is amiss, in this (and in the epistle to Laodicea) he begins,1. With a reproof, and a very severe one: I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead. Hypocrisy, and a lamentable decay in religion, are the sins charged upon this church, by one who knew her well, and all her works.

about the Book of Life: Now to this is added another promise very suitable to the case: I will not blot his name out of the book of life, but will confess his name before my Father, and before his angels. Observe, (1.) Christ has his book of life, a register and roll of all who shall inherit eternal life. [1.] The book of eternal election. [2.] The book of remembrance of all those who have lived to God, and have kept up the life and power of godliness in evil times. (2.) Christ will not blot the names of his chosen and faithful ones out of this book of life; men may be enrolled in the registers of the church, as baptized, as making a profession, as having a name to live, and that name may come to be blotted out of the roll, when it appears that it was but a name, a name to live, without spiritual life; such often lose the very name before they die, they are left of God to blot out their own names by their gross and open wickedness. But the names of those that overcome shall never be blotted out. (3.) Christ will produce this book of life, and confess the names of the faithful who stand there, before God, and all the angels; he will do this as their Judge, when the books shall be opened; he will do this as their captain and head, leading them with him triumphantly to heaven, presenting them to the Father

F.A.I.T.H.

F Is For Forgiveness - Everyone has sinned and needs God's forgiveness (Romans 3:23); God's forgiveness is in Jesus only (Ephesians 1:7)

A Is For Available - God's forgiveness is available for all (John 3:16); But God's forgiveness is not automatic (Matthew 7:21).

I Is For Impossible - According to the Bible, it is impossible to get to Heaven on our own (Ephesians 2:8-9); So how can a sinful person have eternal life and enter Heaven?

T Is For Turn - If you were going down the road and someone asked you to turn, what would he or she be asking you to do? (Change direction); Turn means to repent (being sorry enough to not want to do it again and being committed to that); Turn away from sin and self (Luke 13:3); Turn to Jesus alone as your Savior and Lord (John 14:6); Here is the greatest news of all (Romans 10:9-10); What happens if a person is willing to repent of their sins and confess Christ?

H Is For Heaven - Heaven is a place where we will live with God forever (John 14:3); Eternal life begins now with Jesus (John 10:10)

H can also stand for how...How can a person have God's forgiveness, eternal life and Heaven? The Biblical answer is: repenting of your sins and trusting in Jesus as your Savior and Lord. Trust in what He did and not on your own works. Good works comes as a result of your faith in God, not in order to get to Heaven. You can't save yourself. Only Jesus and what He did for us (by dying on the cross and rising from the dead) can save us. Make the commitment for Christ today. Don't push it off. He will meet you where you are at in life. He will take care of the rest. He loves you and wants you to be with Him forever.

F.A.I.T.H. Presentation (Example Using Computerized Video Format)

Candas shares the Gospel message with Sherry using the F.A.I.T.H. formula. This video displays only an example of how to use the F.A.I.T.H. outline. There are many ways to begin discussing faith and how to end the conversation. The mainstay is the F.A.I.T.H. outline. I made this computerized video off of a free website, so it's not the best video because I am only an amateur in making videos and the computerized format is kind of funny at times because of the voices, but the point is to show FAITH.
