How come he could make the world in 7 days within 7 days out of nothing but he needed a piece of a man to make a woman or a small piece of bread to make more bread or fish to make more fish I don't get it? That's probably a lot of questions.....
Ask yourself one question. We left the biblical base order to build what we believed was a better society? Do the facts support that?........Are things better now for everyone?..... Or is our society quickly falling apart?
Clearly the answer is BOTH. Patriarchy is falling apart and something much more human, desirable and historically successful is being born. Don't be afraid, be creative.
Organized religion is losing members because it refuses to reform itself to fit the current times we live in. It refuses to set the record straight where it has wronged women with its double standards and refuses to address contemporary issues. Mainstream religion is living in the past and unless there is a religious revolution, I think more and more people will become agnostic. You can't expect people to continue to relate to these ancient scriptures in a modern world.
That's because human nature is at the root of societal problems. Yes, I believe nations that adhere to western, enlightenment ideals do tend to have more positive outcomes in every metric than nations that do not adhere to western values or nations that practice theocracy.
Why do u have to fear the lord? God & religion and neo-religions to suit ones one idea of what to confirm to or not, can be different.. no? Just asking.
Of course God is made in the image of humanity but its of a male figure... A "Father" figure,a parent..a woman comes from the ribs of a man made in the image of God. God saw that Adam was 'lonely' so eve was made. Women were created to fill in the areas where men are flawed..men are created to fill in the areas where women are flawed at. Im not tryna be biased about it. This generation today has drifted so far from what Christianity really is. Think about it for a sec.. Why didnt Jesus called Him "Mother"? Its really not about men vs women "Battle of the genders" huhha ...its not. A Father represents being respected, being righteous but forgiving, fierce but Just and loving at the same time. The bible said so too.. Humanity will never fully understand or comprehand what He is thinking or planning for us. And trust me im not saying male is created in the image of God, so men is God.. No!! But just keep the story as it is please. I have no ill intention towards women..but sometimes its fustrating to see us changing the narrative even if the intentions were good.. We dont get to change the narrative in the bible. And men and women are both equal and loves us the same in the eyes of God but truly speaking men and women are not "equally made" for if both the genders were made really equal, identical almost.. God wont have created two genders. Both the genders are flawed yes. But together they help each other to make their weaknesses to strengths. Thats the beauty of men and women. Worldly they are not made equal but in the eyes of God both are equal. I see some ratical women struggling their whole lives to compete with men in everything to show the world or feed her ego to prove that men and women are equal mentally, physically, intellectualualy .. But both the genders have unique traits. they were never made equal my brothers and sisters. They were not. God made "us" to have a relationship ,to be compatible. God bless us all .amen
So true, we should stop putting our focus on ourselves and direct it on Jesus who knows everyone by heart and knows whats best for everyone. Men are simply going to be better at women at different things, but as you said women are going to be AMAZING at others things that men lack. It makes me so sad. I'm not a pessimist but a realist and this world is going down as it is being told in the bible. Please turn to Jesus and he will Lead you and love you like no other! He's waiting for you.
The fact that she spends so much time trying to decide whether God is a male or female rather than really look at whether he ever even existed is troubling.....
When evolutionists have to prove Evolution, They are required to connect all of the dots of the universe. All creationists need to prove creationism is a book written by men that literally did not know where the sun went at night and a childlike imagination.
"We are all made in the image of "God" so God can be found in all of humanity." This is STILL erroneous and harmful to most of the LIFE on Earth. 'GOD' can be found in EVERY creature, plant, rock, element... etc. !!!
@@corysmith3447 Muslims believe in what the speaker said... God given roles exist but that doesn't lead to subjugation/oppression until men decide male = God. Meanwhile, in Islam heaven is at the feet of the mother because only women have a hand in creation. Plus, women are free to engage in business/remain unmarried/get divorces/have wealth that their husband cannot touch. God is wholly masculine and feminine because He is not human and we are both made in His image (the evidence is in the Bible and Quran through the masc/fem descriptions of God if you care to google).
I’m trying to figure out what feminists still complain about? It’s the movement that won’t shut up. It’s always something new with these women. It will never be enough.
¶ As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths. Who has ears to hear?

What I never understood is that Jesus came from a woman. The mother of God, Mary. So if God was created from Mary, doesn’t that make her superior to Jesus? Doesn’t that mean she’s the real God? It’s logical.
sorry to say this but I don't know how this show had end up in tedx. the lazy has used fault analogy(fallacy) or false logic in her sentences. I don't know why people now a days confidently make a mistake and don't even act like they could be wrong.

the HOLY BIBLE is a perfect book. "GOD is so right because GOD is so powerful, and GOD is so powerful because GOD is so right". how could she says 'religion has a feminist potential' , she must be out of her mind.
carlossilva: The name Nabal means Madness. The wisdom of God is foolishness to the wise men of the world, the preaching of the cross is foolishness. At that time, in that patriarchal system, letting a woman run all her possessions, servants, etc. seemed crazy, but whoever is led by God does not see his neighbor as a tree, which is only interested in its shadow and in its fruits, but it knows that before the foundation of the world, God had dreamed of each one of us, and whom God loves since before the foundation of the world, we should care and respect and not treat in any way. This goes from a pauper to a high-ranking person. Nor should we respect the proud. David is so shaken that he has lost Michal and at the same time with an overconfidence that has generated this pride. Nabal was brave, he was from the tribe of Caleb. Abigail was obsessed with power and wanted to be queen. Lost everything. From a person who was released and arrested, he became just one more in David's harem. Nothing else has been heard from her
For clarification this is not my choice and its a piece of work I need to do to add a comment. I personally believe that both sexism and feminism are basically the same thing, except sexism is usually directed towards woman by men, and feminism the same thing just towards men by women. They're both as bad as each other and I like many others wish that we could all be equal but that will never be possible due to sexism and feminism. But if you want to believe God is real and believe that he/she/it is a certain gender or racial profile that is 100% fine. Just don't start a verbal war over it. This was not my choice and feel free not to reply
@ I'm a man of Faith. I take the bible as Gods written word. Is the snake of the garden symbolism or an actual creature? I believe it's a combination of both. It's clearly a very accurate representation of selfish human nature. Sadly every human being, myself included has this character flaw. Some recognize that flaw for what it is and attempt to avoid it. Others willfully embrace it. As evidence by modern men and women as well. Now to the main thrust of your question, Do I believe snakes talk? Any animal can talk if God desires it. 😊 I have never seen it happen for myself. That said, will I tell God he cannot, as one of His creations, No I certainly wont. Hope that answers you question. Have a great day.😊
You can believe what you want...but if the Bible is true and it is the written word of God...then your argument is not with Man. And if you've ever played the Sims, or any kind of God game...then you already have an idea of just how much power you really have. Good Luck...you're gonna need it.
