Bible Discussion Thread

This is one of my favorite passages. This is always the passage I cite when people say women should only be mothers and housewives. This passages demonstrates that women are capable of working, engaging in commerce independently and can make wise decisions that bring prosperity to the household (buying the vineyard, selling garments and so forth).

Cheryl: Please do not misunderstand this passage does NOT suggest that women should go out work in the workforce as we know it today. We are to be hard workers AT IN the HOME. God s Will for women is to stay at HOME, raise our children, guide the house while our husbands go out work. We can sell things we make from home, but are NOT called to get a job that takes us away from our home.

Deborah was a judge in the bible and Esther was a queen in the bible....so should work for women only be for those with a big assignment? A virtuous woman is not just found in housewives...it's a woman who is obedient to the voice of the Lord and staying true to who she is in the Lord. Women helped in Pauls ministry in the new testament as well...God has definitely given women assignments in life

Hi Claire, do you know any scripture references that say God wants women staying 'home'? Do you think Mary and Joseph were sinning by having Jesus while travelling and not at a home?

Ok. To each their own I guess, but in this economy few can survive on one salary. I'll be sure and tell all the female nurses and teachers that they need to pack up and go home. How will your sick be cared for? How will your children be educated? Let me guess? Home school? Do not disrespect the education and career that I have. You haven't had the experiences I have had.
