Yes. God laid out various Laws of Nature.Law of Nature?
Oppression of women is another manifestation of mankind's natural tendency to pervert the Biblical model.Actual results point to the opposite.
During periods in history where women are treated as possessions instead of another human being, are also the most lawless periods in Earth's history.
Countries who restrict the liberties of women are also the worst countries to live in the world and one of the biggest perpetrators of human rights abuses.
Contrasting countries who actually respect and protect their women and grant and uphold equal liberties have the least crime rates, least number of poor, and highest citizen satisfaction rates in the world!
But you need to look at it as part of the whole section.I don't really see it as curse. A woman can repent of her sin and refuse to obey men who make unreasonable demands.
This is news to me.Yes. God laid out various Laws of Nature.
Basic stuff really. The planetary motions,
Laws of propagation, the whole natural world.
Women he made moody, menstrual, and needy. Its their basic nature. Law of nature.
Women and men are just very different. That is nature at work. Simple
But he never commands the woman to obey the man. He just states that it will occur.But you need to look at it as part of the whole section.
These are punishments. Childbirth, work, and agriculture are all good things, but the punishment turns what should be good bad.
- increase in pain of childbirth
- the man rules over the woman
- the ground is cursed, getting food out of it requires toil; it's got thorns and thistles
- you eat bread only when sweating
- you will die
For that reason it's hard to believe that the ruling over woman here is normal. If you believe in a godly submission of women (which I don't), this isn't it. This is the punitive version.
I am aware of no such laws that we are bound to.The Laws of nature precede Mosaic Law. These are what Paul is applying.
Head of the house?You are automatically the head of the house.
You take a wife not a boyfriend, and so on and so on.
Right. Nor are any of the other things commands.But he never commands the woman to obey the man. He just states that it will occur.
That's what Paul thought, if I remember correctly.Christ is the head of the man, man is head of the woman
He did say, "I will greatly multiply your pain in childbearing."Right. Nor are any of the other things commands.
We are bound the the law of the Lord. We are bound to no other law.He is just re-iterating natural law
Who said?Natural Law is the law of the Lord.
He issued commandments. We obey, if we're smart. I'm not aware he ever told us we had to yield to nature. Remember how he would revive dead people, and then rose again after his own death?God is a God of order, not chaos. He makes things in a certain way, to have certain functions. Everything he designs has a design purpose, including the man and the woman. A key part of our design is to propagate. That is our nature. It is a Law of Nature; God says he designed Eve for Adam, and men and women to become one.
Breaking Natural Law can be done by for example homosexuality or bestiality. These are explicitly laid out in Mosaic Law, but they are clearly Laws from creation.
