So, God truly is male? Seems like we had a thread on this topic a while back.

Dunno. I must have missed that thread.

But God did instruct those who wrote the scripture as they were led by the Holy Spirit to present Him as male without fail.

That is probably less due to actual physical maleness as we see it and more in keeping with authority as God has put it forth.

Re: Do you believe we should own slaves?

"Slave" is such a harsh word that stirs up many stereotypes. The politically correct term is "indentured servants."

The correct word for women preachers and teachers is women speakers....that word breaks down barriers....

I've never thrown anything sharp and pointy at my husband. I will admit I've threatened to throw stuff at him.

He had this habit of doing things to annoy me when I was washing dishes. I had a big popcorn bowl in the sink and I told him if he didn't leave me alone, I was going to throw a bowl of water on him.

He learned quickly that he should have taken my threat seriously. I lifted the bowl out of the sink, filled with water and reached over my head and dumped it all over him.

He hasn't snuck up behind me anymore when I was washing dishes and tickled me again since.

Does not the Bible imply that slavery is ok?
Also, most of us are, hopefully, slaves of Christ.
In our day, it is probably cheaper to hire the help, instead of having slaves.
