Did they crucify women, Christian or not, and let me know some of them.

To the best of my knowledge, no woman was ever crucified by the Romans, never mind their state of undress.  In general, the Romans avoided public nudity except in certain circumstances such as the baths, and they disliked exposing women to public scrutiny.  I can't think of any public executions of women off the top of my head.  The only thing that comes close is a tradition wherein the widowed wife of the deceased would throw herself upon his funeral pyre.  However, the only references I know of this are from poetry, not histories.\n\nFor a time Christians were persecuted and treated to death, and probably some Catholic sources can name them and describe in detail the tortures they suffered.  However, many classical historians question the veracity of these documents.  Except in a few special circumstances, Christians were executed in the games, usually torn apart by beasts or slain by a gladiator.  It is entirely possible that some of these were women, but highly unlikely that they would have gone unclothed.  Still, it is an intriguing question.

Yeah, i'm tired of ultra religious christians being closed minded and pushing there ideas on me. They do help, but no more than your average man. Christians think they are above everyone, a lot don't realize we are here to help each other.

wow. ^^^you are a moron. not you bunny...this cherry sk*nk...\n\nmaybe she goes on and on about you because you are a psycho stalker...\n\nand uhm...how would you know she's a skanky whore?...did she tell you that?...i doubt it. grow up.\n\nin response to your question: I believe some christians are like this because they don't know any better. they preach what has been preached to them. they don't understand it...or don't care...or maybe even think their lives are an exception to the rule and they can do as they please and then "repent" because they are already "saved"...\n\nthis just seems to be the common explanation in the christian girls that have tried to brainwash me anyhow.

"The age of martyrs also produced a great number of writers who wrote about Christianity and what they believe in order to dispel some of the myths about Christians (some said they were cannibals because they ate the “body and blood”) These writers became known as “The Apologists” and they were able to help clarify Christian theology to the pagans, leaving us with some of the greatest explanations of the Christian faith."\n\n\nWhat you teacher tells you is true.  Christians were deemed to be cannibals because of the whole blood host thing with communion and they were martyred by mass murders.\n\nThis is an important lesson in not taking the time to really learn about something and just assuming that rumors are true - like what you hear on TV - \n\nBig spin off in the Catholic religion when King Henry VIII of England wanted to divorce his wife and the Pope said NO.  So, Henry got out of the Catholic religion, made himself the King of Religion in his country and tried to make all the Catholics in England convert to the Church of England - a lot of people were murdered for not changing over as it was deemed treacherous not to obey Henry.\n\nThe irony of the whole protestant England thing was that in Germany a monk name Martin Luther was trying to lead reforms in the Catholic Church too.\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther\n\nIt is a strange thing that ofter two or more people will arrive at the same idea in different ways by different methods but almost simultaneously\n\nNow we have Protestants because a man wanted a divorce - which would have been better because Henry usually cut off their heads after that and his first wife was, in a way lucky to have got away with her head.\n\nYou have a very good teacher

I read these many entries speaking against God, Jesus Christ, the Bible, and the Christian people... and it breaks my heart. \nYour question was beautifully written and asked. Remember what Jesus told us to do when the "unbelievers" reacted to Him and to His Word in this manner.\n\nMatthew 5:11 \nBlessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. \n\nMatthew 5:44 \nBut I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to them that hate you, and pray for them which despitefully use you, and persecute you; \n\nAnd when you've said and done all that you can do:\n\nMark 6:11 \nAnd whosoever shall not receive you, nor hear you, when ye depart thence, shake off the dust under your feet for a testimony against them. Verily I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Sodom and Gomorrah in the day of judgment, than for that city.\n\nGod bless you my Christian friend.

They sound like a Christian to me.  I've never met one who follows the teachings of Christ. Intead they follow the politics of their "religion" usually to the compleat exclusion of the teachings of Christ.

I don't think that it's a religious policy that women don't fight directly in war.  I've asked the men that I serve with, and all of them say that most men would be worried about protecting the women and do things that they weren't ordered to or that might jeopardize the mission.  While I don't quite accept that answer, I haven't heard any others.\n\nIt sounds like the woman who emailed your pastor is trying to use something made up of whole cloth (a lie) to support her position against the war.  It's okay if she's against the war; that's her right.  But although the Christian Bible says "thou shalt not kill," I don't remember from the readings I did as a child that it ever said anything about women not fighting in a war.  And there have been plenty of people that go against that particular rule, so I don't know why she's complaining about one war when she probably hasn't cared about murders in her own city, etc.

Odd, isn't it, how Jesus addressed some of these 'sins' and left out others? He talked about adultery (in detail), idolatry, blasphemy, murder and keeping the sabbath, but never got around to the rest... unless, of course, his 'love one another' and 'don't judge' warnings pertained to acceptance of victimless "sins" such as homsexuality. \n\nMany Christians seem to believe that Jesus personally condemned homosexuality, but that came from Paul - who never met Jesus and never discussed law or morality with Jesus. That didn't stop Paul from taking over Christianity and tweaking it to suit his own personal prejudices, e.g. his attitude toward women. \n\nIf Christians are going to follow Paul they should try very hard not to marry, and if they do marry, they should avoid sex if possible, and all these female televangelists should shut up, go home and let their husbands tell them what to do.\n\nHow many Christian women wear make-up, for example? Paul (who hated gays in the NT) wrote:\n\n"I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;...Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." (1 Timothy 2-)\n\nAlso: "Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith the law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." (1 Cor 34-35)

He was crucified because the men of that day, the ones with power to lose, wanted him out of the picture.  Plain and simple. He was preaching love one another and share your wealth and turn the other cheek ( I do have a problem with that last one) and they felt threatened, so they put pressure to have him removed.  Hard core politics. Personally, I feel the bible was written by men to control men. Not in a bad way but in a way to set a standard by which we can live. And if we follow these standards, we will mostly, remain within the law and not hurt one another nor upset the 'upper crust's' apple cart. That is the way they want it.  Then and now. God did not sit down with Moses and have him carve out 10 rules to live by. (Only 10?)  Tell you what, go to Washington D.C. and tell the world what an idiot the president is.  You have a right to speak out, you may not be lying, and you certainly have not sinned, but there will be those who will want you removed. And you will be. Although today you will not be crucified, only evacuated.

I would say that this woman is a lying Christian.

The counsel was that those women professing to be Christians needed to dress moderately and with soundness of mind. The same applies today. Christian women need to make sure they are not following in some of the very immoral styles of dress popular today, as well as not overdoing it by only wearing the most expensive, well-todo styles either.

i think that it was written in times where women did not have any rights and in a societal setting that did not value a woman's opinion.  St. Paul was notorious for his views on women, which in many respects, seem to contradict how Jesus regarded women...Jesus elevated women...in one respect, Jesus was the greatest feminist ever...so, to answer your question, it was written by a man, but the central message was inspired by the Holy Spirit...

Atheists.  They had nothing bad to say about them but the christians did, in my eyes.  Yes, the christians DO seem judgemental to me.

They are not picking and choosing, they  are just saying that if the person is doing wrong and knowing full well that this goes against Christ, they are not truly Christians. A true Christian will fight against wrong. Unfortunatly we are all human and will go the wrong way. And just because someone says they worship Jesus does not mean they are Chrsitians for who can truly read someones heart.

I am a Christian, and I do not believe the things you have written in your question.  I do not put myself above others because I am still figuring everything out for myself.  You stating that all Christians do this proves that you are uninformed.  The other points you made seem to point to the fact that you may be just as narrow minded as those you accuse.  Are you only wanting someone to agree with you?

Yes it does sound like christians are shooting themselves in the foot. its quite amusing. I also think that on some subconciese level that the guilt fear and shame inside them darkens thier hearts until they are unaware they are doing anything wrong or believing anything wrong/.;
