Good thing he didnt say ONLY then isnt it?
He stated NOR inferred even one thing you have created disagreement to. May I ask a serious question, why do the women here seem so inclined to do this? What drives the inference and subsequent then disagreement with points that are wholly created by the respondent?
When a person makes statement, it has no inferred absolutes. This simple fact, if observed, would eliminate 90% of objections made to mens comments here.
But it gets worse
If I said communication is important in marriage.....it would result in thoughtful and agreeable reactions and discussion, NO ONE would leap to say "marriage is about more than communication"
BUT
If I said "sex is important in marriage.....likely the very first response would be "marriage is not all about sex"
Its not just the inference of absolutes then, it the inference of them on very specific subjects, and it would seem a way to attempt to nullify or reduce the truth of the absolutely true and nonthreatening original statement.
What if anytime someone says anything, we come back with a rejection of that thing but with an inferred absolute, like always, never, all, none...etc? We could literally discuss NOTHING.
As it is, there are 5 things we cannot discuss, and one of the reasons is this red herring of inferring absolutes.
One would think its a reflexive effort to never state certain things that are in and of themselves 100% true
the example, (not a topic changer please) "sex is important in marriage"............I simply for my very life cannot grasp why that is so hard to take as it is. There are 5 words there, and each one has a specific meaning. The words together have a very specific meaning, and its an irrefutable statement...UNLESS you infer an absolute.
He made an absolute statement when he said that ALL relational needs are met by the body of Christ with the ONE exception of sex. That IS an absolute. I didn't make it up. And that's what I was responding to. There was no need for you to then vent about how you think that "women" here do this and that and then critique it on and on....that's just stirring up trouble IMO.
He said that all relational needs can be met just as well by others with sex being the only exception....the only thing that makes the marriage relationship special and set apart from other relationship. I disagree. Agree or disagree with that all you like, but kindly don't attack my posting style and then attribute it to my gender with comments like "the women here..." It's just plain rude.
