And it is the mans nature when embodied that brings out tbe nature of woman .<br /><br />Agenda 21, demsculinization of the population, androgyny and the destabilization of men's and women's roles .

I don’t have a problem with shaking hands, I never said I did. I stated I don’t like holding hands (male or female), as in everyone in the church is ordered to hold hands for the entire worship section by the pastor. Many men do not like this, and it has nothing to do with their spiritual status. I don’t like kissing men on the lips also, which in some cultures is normal .. Yet it isn’t in mine.<br /><br />Despite this my friend, this piece is in the humour section of my blog, so it is prone to hyperbole. Do you enjoy Christian comedians? And yes, I know, I’m not funny … since I set myself up for that retort:)<br /><br />http://www.jesuscoffeebreak.com/10-funniest-christian-stand-up-comedians-hilarious-clean-comedy/<br /><br />And yet it is meant to highlight a greater debate that has been ongoing as to why there is a disproportionate number of women that attend church (Western Church debate only). The last numbers I saw were that ~65% of church goers were women. The traditional rational has been that God simply made women more spiritually inclined than men. The newer emerging idea is that the Church may in some way be hindering male involvement (which I attempt to touch on). I don’t have the answers to this, but there are many good books debating this topic. Ex. “Why men hate Church”, by David Murrow, is a good place to start.<br /><br />And I never said I was any good at evangelism, though this piece in not evangelistic in nature. But thank you for your concern my friend and I’ll give you some kudos for taking the time to voice your concern.<br /><br />Peace in Christ to you:)Nosebot Presshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447895404501915744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2306883399780318851.post-51792815981944598622016-04-24T18:32:13.779-07:002016-04-24T18:32:13.779-07:00the church is not the problem. You are the problem...the church is not the problem. You are the problem!<br />What is wrong with holding hands with another stranger?<br />how many hands did Jesus held? or strangers he met?<br />Jesus asked: who is your neighbour?<br />if your neighbour to you a stranger or guy living next to you?<br /><br />it is because of your thinking that you make good churches look bad! And bible says we should not allow good works be seen as evil. Which is what you are doing.<br /><br />If you are having problem with this, then you are not having strong relationship with Jesus!<br />Because when the Unconditional love of God takes over you, and you are having relationship with God. You wouldn't care how many strangers hands you hold.<br /><br />Ironically, if you were standing next to a good looking girl, you wouldn't mind touching her hands right?<br /><br />Brother, you need to change your thinking pattern and how you view things.<br />From your position now, I don't think you are ready to be evangelist.<br />Because if you are doing evangelism that I and some others do. You will know you will shake a lot of strangers hands, talk to many strangers, hug strangers and pray for strangers. Not to mention homeless people you are shaking hands with.<br /><br />I mean I know where you are coming from, Jesus knows you well more than me. But I am sure He also wants you to change your thinking, and the only way you can do that. Is by having closer relationship with God.<br /><br />we cannot change ourselves on our own, the more we spend time with God the easier we change.David Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05645974497697780884noreply@blogger.com
