Mojo replied to the thread The abuse of 1 Timothy 5:8 as a "male provider role".While this has been our personal model, I can’t say that it’s a biblical mandate. Each home needs to figure out what works. Mothers and fathers have their unique differences and those will complement each other in helping to develop the whole... -

I have been distracted with the women's retreat last weekend and then catching up on "life" this week. Nathan did ask folks to DM me if interested, along with the better option emailing us at retreats@biblicalfamilies.org. But I will keep an... -

I agree. Proverbs 14:1, The wise woman builds her house, ... . The household is the primary focus for the wife, yet working and investing is fine as we see in Proverbs 31. Each family situation needs wise leadership to know what is right, and the... -

Which is what I was trying to get at with the questions I was asking in the thread. I believe there’s been a conflation between patriarchy and sole providership. One doesn’t necessarily require the other.

I get @DiscipleOfChrist ’s broader point. We can not place a Biblical command on a man to be the sole provider for his family. And in the light of Proverbs 31 we absolutely can not forbid a woman from substantial and lucrative financial activity...

In the old testament there is a verse people like to ignore imo because of the plural aspect. It tells a man he cannot marry a woman AND her daughter, or her daughter's daughter. 1 Tim. 3:16-17 16All scripture is given by inspiration of God...

Lev 18:6 None of you shall approach to any that is near of kin to him, to uncover their nakedness: I am the LORD. Lev 18:7 The nakedness of thy father, or the nakedness of thy mother, shalt thou not uncover: she is thy mother; thou shalt not...

This is something that seems to escape the attention of many when they reference God and the Bible; there is no record of blessing for sinning nor any punishment for obeying. The first Psalm is quite explicit where it says, Blessed is the man Who...

The fall out and damage goes on for generations. It is heartbreaking. This is why He told fathers to teach their children, not how to win playing a sport or video game (my father in law taught his sons many practical skills and an exceptional...

Of course "progreassion" has made husbands a thing of the past! The fertility clinic, artificial insemination, police and welfare programs mean women no longer NEED men to have children, food, and "protection" (if you think ten minutes away when...

Memefan..... Have you not read all the posts of so many pastors that lost their jobs BECAUSE they were willing to say things that were biblically true but their church people were unwilling to hear it. Sadly. It is easy to lose an entire...

To continue the side note: It's also not between son and daughter. It seems to be purely a generational divide. It's also interesting that the division seems to be explicitly not one-sided.

Just a side note: What I find interesting about this passage is that division between husband and wife is not listed. Pretty much every other relationship possible is listed.
