Mystery Blog?

We are supposed to follow the laws put above us; but they are not the ultimate authority. Gods laws for us are a frame work helping us with guidelines to live by and interpret the laws society has set before us. by understnading Gods laws we can live in soceity without being of the world. this is a major problem with Christians today, following the laws the world puts infront of us is a lot easier to do when we have a biblical perspective to look at them through. With a right worldview, we can live following Gods way. Just becuase we following laws given to the state doesnt mean that we are placing the state above God. By following Gods law we also follow the rightious laws of the state. Law is a frameowork given by authority that we are to follow when it falls in line with biblical teaching to help us be in the world and not of it.

Christian View of Femininity

The Christian idea of femininity is clearly laid out for us in Genesis.
God saw that is was not good for man to be alone and he knew he would need another creature like himself to fill the gap that all the other animals had and satisfy his need for a companion. So God created women flesh of his own flesh to rescue Adam so that he would have completion. God created the order that a man should leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife and shall create one family. The man Names his wife Eve- because she is the mother of all man and she is the example of femininity for all women. Women are to be the home makers and live for relationship. We are to strive to have happiness in relationships even though (because of the fall) we will never have complete happiness.
Feminists get it wrong because they try to flip the roles of men and women. The saying "boys will be boys" has no meaning to them. They put women in the same boat as men, saying that women can do everything everything men can do at the same level. In some cases this may be true but not in all.
God created men and women for different purposes and we are wired differently. When we embrace the unique was were were created then we can live the way God has intended for us.

Christian View of Homosexuality

The Bible does not say that we are to hate those who practice alternative lifestyles such as homosexuality and radical feminist views. While many people in the church condemn such lifestyles, God wants us to love all people with Gods love and show them the rewards of his ways.
By looking at such arguments in context of the passages, we are able to prove that these spiteful views are not true in context of the Bible.
As Christians we are to love all people and although we may not agree with their life style we are to be salt and light to them and show gods love and mercy to them.
