Before you answer this Arther, you might want to pin down how she defines smart.
No need to do that. He can use his very own definition.

I do. It does not mean the a woman gains salvation by having babies. Salvation comes from God through Jesus and there are no other options.So you have no personal understanding of it. Got it.
Yes, that's what I call you ignoring post #1083 of this thread while pretending to satisfy the readers.
SO that you can change things up after he says something? No, better to get it defined first.No need to do that. He can use his very own definition.
He saying that without a man the average woman can't accomplish much of anything.
He is saying that woman should go find a man and get pregnant because that is all they are good for.
You can put any spin on it you wish but what he said is disgusting to me. And my wife. And my daughters.

My wife is a pharmacist. Men are pharmacists. Therefore, my wife is at least as smart as men. There are men who flunked out of pharmacy school therefore my wife is smarter than some men. Do you agree?
:chuckle: Oh. You believe you are speaking for all the readers. Have fun with that.
I agree that together we are greater than we are apart.Without a woman the average man can't accomplish much of anything, either.
I don't think so at all.That's a perverse reading of his intent.
I have nothing to feel defensive about. God has richly blessed our life together in many ways. I am thankful for my life.Because you would have been mostly avoiding that blessing in your life. Using birth control, in other words, has made you feel defensive of your choices.

Sure. You have to defend your choice to use your marriage for yourselves while avoiding childbearing.
Did you avoid childbearing because of ill health or convenience? Did God tell you to do it or close her womb for you?
I don't believe the commentary is perfectly good theology, even if the sentiment is warm.
Problem is, no baby is born a sinner...
It's remarkable that you would even state that is something that needs defending.
Way to insert yourself into relationships and choices that are none of your business.
No doubt CM and many other intelligent men do not see the only need/use for women as bearing children.
Not possible; it's already his word. Anything he says is smart, goes. Nothing would change in my argument.
You mean your wife is as smart as other men who can do the same job? I don't doubt she does as good/bad a job as other men who do the same things. Yes, your wife, in at least one sense is smarter than some men.
Do you think all men who flunked are less intelligent than your wife?
Do you really think that women (on average) are smarter than men (on average)? Why?
I stated what I agree with.That's not agreeing with me, though, right?
His statement dorks fir itself. One only need read it.Weak defense of your assertion.
Having two children is avoiding child bearing. Got ya.Sure. You have to defend your choice to use your marriage for yourselves while avoiding childbearing.
We are free in Christ to plan our life so we did. We made choices based on the fact that there is more to having children than pumping out babies. We wanted to raise them with many experiences in life. Good seems to have honored that choice.Did you avoid childbearing because of ill health or convenience? Did God tell you to do it or close her womb for you?
Trying to distract me from post #1083?
Believers who understand that there are only a few laborers for a giant harvest, where the gospel has not gone out into the whole world, know that having believing children to labor for Christ is such a high priority they would have to defend choosing otherwise.
The last religion to devalue children is now dead. (see: the Shaker religion)
I'm not part of his choice, so I can't be inserted. His choice is made. Long over.
Just replace the word birth control for abortion and maybe you might have a shot at understanding me.
He doesn't see the need at all from the way he talks. He must think God has all the souls he wants, already or something.
If you are a woman, the only reason you are is so you can use your womanliness for the glory of God. Otherwise you would have been born a man or a hermaphrodite - or perhaps a spirit-being or asexual angel.
Brains don't impress me. The mind does. Stupid is as stupid does.
I am an anomaly. I may be smarter than the average male, since I think the average male is 105 and I'm.... it's not important. But smarts are a limited value kind of thing. And though I may be smarter in some ways, I think I have such a different experience than most men that I could respect their intelligence and experience even if the IQ was less than 100.
You have him confused with someone else, like Truster, maybe?
