"Indeed there is a class of tumours of quite frequent occurrence in the females of human family, which some of our higher authorities have claimed to be attempts in the direction of virgin conception (dermoids tumours of ovarian origin)." Katherine Bushnell....
The real meaning of the word “subjection” refers, not to servility, but to conciliation. Where wrong exists, or is supposed to exist, the Christian method is always to exhort the wronged one to efforts to keep the peace, if possible, until the wrongdoer learns the better way. Men can always be wrong as well as women...So God doesnt expect women submit to evil husbands or men submit to evil wives...
Ephesians 5:22-23 Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior...In these verses the Husband to the wife is compared to as Jesus to the Church...Paul expects all husbands to be like Christ(which most husbands r not), loving their wives more than themselves and giving themselves up for their wives(lik what Jesus did for the Church)....And Jesus has told 'Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant'(Mat 20:26), the husband who thinks he is the leader should act like a servant...
A woman should never submit to the selfish needs of her husband under any circumstance...
Dora the Doormat wears a “step on me please” sign around her neck. She’s a passive, quivering, opinion-less servant who can’t and won’t do anything without being told what to do. Dora can’t even get dressed in the morning without finding out which dress her husband wants her to wear. And she likes it when her husband acts like a domineering boor. Dora has absolutely no goal in life except to serve her man. She invites him to wipe his dirty, grimy, patriarchal feet all over her, so that she can happily clean up the mess.
What is absolute is that all women are called to be spiritually fruitful. The Lord wants all women—including single and childless women and women past child-bearing age—to spiritually and metaphorically have a “household” and be the “joyful mother of children.”

It was almost 12:30 a.m. when I finished reading 'Anne Frank_The Diary Of YOung Girl'.This is a book I would recommend everyone for reading.The book which was so touching and so full of hopes left me crying towards the end.I can't belive this_She had high hopes of going to school [just a week before they (the people in the annex) got arrested]even when the matter of survival was in question. 'OH Anne, IF ONLY YOU HAD SURVIVED' I kept muttering to myself.By the way I forgot it was Annes' 79th birthday yesterday the June 12th.
HOw could a man be so cruel?
April 20th 1889_The Devils Day...The world saw the birth of a man who turned out ot be the Devil himself...He who was the cause of the death of 11 million jews....
If I ever met the Devil I would tell him to see to to it that Hitler gets the most cruel of all the punishments in the Hell.
What right did he have to kill those people?What did they wrong ?Who was he to judge them?
Maybe what Ane Frank had said was true.The Jews were the only people who had brought anything good to this world. No wonder God made them his 'Elect'.The Chosen People.
And is this what he's going to get in HELL?? The devil could think of something better and clever.
In his book MeinKampf, Hitler divides humans into categories based on physical appearance, establishing higher and lower orders, or types of humans. At the top, according to Hitler, is the Germanic man with his fair skin, blond hair and blue eyes. Hitler refers to this type of person as an Aryan. He asserts that the Aryan is the supreme form of human, or master race.
What a foolish fellow /?If he told this to the people in Asia they would slap him.How foolish could one be?Didnt he know that all people have a common ancestor?.And he said he's a christian, when he didnt even believe in the basic principles of Christianity.
It is the Jews, Hitler says, who are engaged in a conspiracy to keep this master race from assuming its rightful position as rulers of the world, by tainting its racial and cultural purity and even inventing forms of government in which the Aryan comes to believe in equality and fails to recognize his racial superiority.
"The mightiest counterpart to the Aryan is represented by the Jew."
Hitler describes the struggle for world domination as an ongoing racial, cultural, and political battle between Aryans and Jews. He outlines his thoughts in detail, accusing the Jews of conducting an international conspiracy to control world finances, controlling the press, inventing liberal democracy as wells as Marxism, promoting prostitution and vice, and using culture to spread disharmony.
Throughout Mein Kampf, Hitler refers to Jews as parasites, liars, dirty, crafty, sly, wily, clever, without any true culture, a sponger, a middleman, a maggot, eternal blood suckers, repulsive, unscrupulous, monsters, foreign, menace, bloodthirsty, avaricious, the destroyer of Aryan humanity, and the mortal enemy of Aryan humanity...
At this point one may ask 'WHO ARE THESE ARYANS??/'and 'why do they think no end of themselves???'
The answers RomanCatholics would give Protestants.....
P : Why do you worship idols when it is against the Bible?
R : Why do you keep your own photos when it's against what God said in the Old Testament?
......coming up....
The man who startled the Christian community...
For you, a thousand times over .... the words had been haunting me for days...What does it mean??Sacrificing Love??Why??What does a man gain by loving somebody enough to sacrifice himself???Now I am not talking about the Magnmanious 'Jesus Christ'....This is human love...What is the motive??Is it a question of self satisfaction?
The theme is from a novel 'Kite Runner' by Housseini...The servant boy loves his master so much that he even lets himself rapped by some boys instead of returning his masters' kite...
In this world of carnal desires few find true Love....
Jesus wasnt born on the 25th of December...
The Gospel of Judas never objects the fact that Judas betrayed Christ....
Has anybody seen crocodiles floating on trees???I just dreamt of it today...
This made me recall the following incident which was indeed the most shocking one in my life.This happened when I was working as a site engineer in one of the leading construction companies of Kerala.I was in-charge of a 7 storey building which was nearing the end of its construction and was to be handed over in a few months.Only a few service works and interior works were left.
The day was a public holiday.I dont remember exactly what holiday it was but I remember it happened in Jan of this year.The main workers and the contractor weren't present that day.Infact the contractor had asked me personally to keep an eye on the site the previous day while he was not present.
There wasnt a single day in which the goods lift wasnt used.It used to be operated either by the contractor or by one of the masons.As they were not present that day there needed to be someone to operate the lift as the fire escape works were going on then.The huge red pipes couldnt be carried manually to the terrace.That day two of the workers who wanted to carry pipes to the terrace floor approached me since they couldnt find anyone to operate the lift.So I went around asking workers if they knew to how to operate the machine.None of them knew it except the storekeeper who told me he had done that before.I agreed hearing his past experience and accompanied him to the operating platform.
