Christ taught servant leadership. Most people will follow this type of leadership.

Christian women should have no problem submitting to such leadership in the home. There is a built-in design within the woman that wants to respond. There is a built-in design within the man to lead. Of course, this has all been corrupted by the curse, but is being restored (through sanctification) in the one indwelt by the Holy Spirit.

A Judge's son with whom I worked made a statement that stuck with me: "The principles of the Bible are beneficial, if followed, even to the one who is not a Christian."

Sharon S.,
Coming from another woman, I really appreciate your candidness...
Thanks!

Thank you for your gracious comment. You have always been gracious in your postings.

As I consider my posting, I'm reminded that I should be less impetuous and more mindful of how long these things hang around. I tend to vent in print. It's a reminder to me that I will give an account for my words, and I should continue to ask the Lord to set a guard over my mouth.

My husband doesn't care for my soul, I am so weak right now, emotionally, physically, spiritually! O God have mercy!

"I also will laugh at your calamity; I WILL MOCK. . ."

[Some] heresies which are so odious, that they deserve to be mocked.
That jerk deserved a brickbat upside the head...

In every other case, and there are many, mocking is considered cruel.

In Isa. 28:22 "Be not mockers. ."

Matt. 27:41 "Chief priests mocked Him [Jesus]"

I think this may have been the hardest trial that Jesus bore . .to know that the very ones created by God, and some of for whom He would die, MOCKED Him. How CRUEL!

So, mocking is considered cruel by Scripture, and Jesus did not mock anyone.

As to those whom you say deserve such mocking and worse, I think I would be in tears to see people so terribly lost, and to know that but by the Grace of God, there go I.

See 2 Tim. 2:23-26

"But refuse foolish and ignorant speculations,....

And the Lord's bond-servant must not be quarrelsome, but be KIND to all, able to teach, PATIENT when wronged,

with GENTLENESS correcting those who are in opposition, if perhaps God may grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth,

I can only speak from my personal experience. I have known a lot of people who attended some type of RC school and every single one of them has a skewed view of Biblical Christianity. Many of them have no use for God at all. Some of them are still committed RCs but in my mind, that's no better than being a complete pagan.
I'm sure that not everyone who's ever attended RC schools shares the same experiences. I can only speak for the ones I've known and they are many.

This sort of thing must never be debated. It must be mocked and ridiculed and just held in ourtright derision. Jesus himself mocked the Pharisees, we must mock the Pariahs. It is pointless to debate the delusional. Call evil what it is and just mock them. Satan can't stand humor, and he can't stand being mocked. Remember, when we all are called home, we will look on the wretched Lucifer and his minions and shake our heads in disbelief as we say: THIS is the man who led so many astray, who did so much evil? He won't look so tough then. Pray for your enemies, but mock whatever they may lie to you about....and maybe, just maybe they will be shamed into looking for the truth.

I was talking to someone yesterday about how EVERYONE I have ever known who grew up attending a RC school has an utter contempt for anything Biblical and a strange disdain for authority.

My Catholic neighbor, and seemingly a born again Believer, will not leave the Catholic Church because to do so would mean separating herself from her family.

My Jewish friend from college attended Parochial schools, as did most Jewish children, because Parochial schools were better than the public school system.

Another Catholic friend from college stills loves everything Catholic.

Sharon Watkins is a disgrace to the name of the LORD, and I am cringing that we share the same first name.

My grandmother always said that my name meant "rose" - a fragrant aroma. This woman does the name an injustice, and I can only watch this service with the sound muted.
