Bible Study Why does Evil act Feminine?

Why does Evil act Feminine?

For many years I've always asked myself why does evil act feminine and why does evil surround itself with so much femininity (hint: sinful men desiring a harem of women)? Then God's Holy Spirit revealed to me the reason.

Look at Romans 7:18...

Romans 7:18 New King James Version (NKJV)
18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh) nothing good dwells; for to will is present with me, but how to perform what is good I do not find.

It must be remembered that when God created a woman he made her from the flesh of man, i.e. his rib. Then if we look at Roman 7:18 it says that in the flesh nothing good dwells. When a person becomes very evil and chases after every sinful evil lust of the flesh they become completely feminine and/or desiring a lifestyle surrounded by femininity. For the women was created entirely created from the flesh of the man, therefore femininity in a man signifies a person chasing after the lusts of his flesh.

When a group of people all act feminine, and/or surrounds themselves with femininity exclusively (hint: a harem or feminine acting men), it is a sign that they are all chasing after the lusts of their own flesh and not the righteousness of God.

God Bless
 
I don't believe you've established that evil acts in a distinctly feminine way as opposed to a masculine way. Clearly there are feminine qualities that are not evil.

Mat 23:37 - O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, and ye would not!​
 
Evil is not gender specific; however, it is flesh specific. If you allow your outer person (flesh) to rule, you will do evil things. If you allow your inner person (spiritual) to rule, you will do what’s right. The flesh does not care how it satisfies itself.
 
Very intriguing thoughts ugmug
I like your point when it comes to the evil of lusting...
But evil as a whole is much broader.
Cain was a man of the field. He planted, tended and harvested. Cain drew boundaries and claimed land as his own. After all, it was Cain who worked the land, thus Cain felt entitled to the Land. Was it that Cain lusted after the fruit of his own labor? Was it that Cain elevated his position in the land by what he had, and what others had not? Did Cain enjoy the suffering of others knowing he was not suffering because of the work of his own hands in the field? Did Cain eat the fruits of the field while others went hungry and thought, "If you don't work, you don't eat"... while never giving another the chance to work?
Leviticus 23:22 And when ye reap the harvest of your land, thou shalt not make clean riddance of the corners of thy field when thou reapest, neither shalt thou gather any gleaning of thy harvest: thou shalt leave them unto the poor, and to the stranger: I am the LORD your God.

Ugmug, I'm guessing your talking about a very specific kind of action that is evil, and found it usually associated with femininity. However I don't l don't know what evil actions you could be considering by this post. The majority of evil that I am aware of have other elements involved.

Lust treats women (or men) as a prize and often lessens the person being lusted for to an extension of that prize. but I don't think lust is more feminine then it is masclian in nature.

Greed has so much involved in it it can stem from almost anything. From wealth, power, lust, to even food and gluttony. But what it seems to be associated with the most is like lust, a focus on a prize, and a breakdown of morals to obtain the prize. When greed and lust combine, it seems to attract the behaviors of adultery, and with kings of the past a private haram just for themselves. On the other hand I've heard serial rapists are more often seeking power over someone rather then it being about the sex, so greed and lust doesn't have to be about femininity.

As to other sins, I can't see the connection that well to femininity. If you could explain a bit more what you mean, or give examples to help show what your talking about, that might help and put a tighter focus on the subject matter that your presenting here.
 
The Holy Spirit also tells me, that our love is "much".

Mark 16:9 When Jesus rose early on the first day of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had driven seven demons.

Why didn't he appear to the guys? Their devotion wasn't like hers. So, our love is the key! And that ain't evil!

I see no valid argument here at all. For starters, woman was made from the flesh of Adam before Adam and Eve fell. So Eve was made not from "sinful flesh" but from "sinless flesh". In Romans 7, Paul is clearly writing about humans after the fall.
 
I don't think ugmug is calling woman evil
Scripture says that eve was tricked and Adam was disobedient, hence death came through Adam and not eve

But it was eve who talked Adam into eating and when the deed was done Adam no longer considered her bone of his bone, flesh of his flesh.

For the first time, they only saw their differences and honestly, it hasn't gotten much better
 
1 John 2:16 For everything in the world - the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does (Donald Trump) - comes not from the Father but from the world.

Sorry I had to put an example in. The sin (evil) focusing on "your accomplishments" and "what you have materialistically"

Cause, in heaven...........everything is the Lord's.........we gotta get used to it.

It is an everyone issue, not just woman.
 
I'm not seeing how feminine equals lusts of the flesh? Especially following the belief that women are supposed to act feminine. (Which I don't personally hold, but that's another topic.)
 
I think evil can show in men and women, so there are feminine forms of good and evil. Think about it...in ancient, pagan cultures, they often had both a king and a queen of the underworld. Dark, scary deities. Hades and Persephone, for instance.

Adam should have stood for what was right according to God
 
I'm going to vent this morning on a subject that is near to my heart. I have been told in churches all my life that woman are not allowed to be spiritual leaders. You can't be an apostle, a prophet, and definitely not a pastor. Men are the spiritual head of the family. Ok, fine. If that's the way it should be I guess the only thing that a woman is good for is cleaning your house, having your kids, and washing your dirty underwear. If I can't enter the game then don't blame me for the outcome of the game.

I don't think it really matters all that much what the "churches" say. You'll find 30,000 different denominations all holding on to various doctrines that either oppose or uphold one another.
I wish it were as simple as saying, "What does the Bible say", but it is rarely that simple.

There are churches that have woman as pastors. I know a few in my own town. And there are pastors in my town that are bothered horribly that a woman is preaching in the pulpit. Well, I know a few people that are bothered by it too. Anyway, you get my point. The church has been divided since Paul started preaching, and I don't think it's gotten much better... Actually, I think it's gotten worse.

But I do want to touch on something. Just because you've heard you can't be this or you can't be that... it doesn't mean that your only good for x, y or z. And heaven forbid, if your married and your husband says your only good for cleaning 'his' house, having 'his' kids and washing 'his' dirty underwear then by all means, your problem isn't with any church. Simply put, it's with your marriage... and if your going to a church that says your only good for those things, then you might think about attending a different church. Heaven knows you'll find one that will teach exactly what you want them to teach. I even hear some churches are now marrying same sex couples... so if you can find that, I'm sure you'll find a church that 'fits your view'.

What we should do, and what we actually do are generally at polar opposites of the spectrum.
It happened... deal with it.
And that's where the real problem often lies doesn't it?... how we "deal with it".
Maybe it's not as much about what should have happened as it is about how we "deal with it".
We live in a broken world.. a fragile world.
How did Adam deal with it? He blamed God.
Genesis 3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.

He might as well have said, "God, this is your fault. You gave her to me. I didn't need a helper and I don't need to ask for directions."

That's a long way from:
Genesis 2:23 And the man said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man.

From harmony and unity.. to division and difference.

We have the luxury of hind sight. What would have been a better way for Adam to have dealt with how he viewed his wife? After all, she was still bone of his bone, flesh of his flesh weather he acknowledged it or not.

If it were not for women, most churches would fall apart. After all who does most of the work in most churches? It surely is not men. It takes the many membered body of Christ, not just the mouth (pastor) to have a well functioning church.

2 Kings 22:14 So Hilkiah the priest, and Ahikam, and Achbor, and Shaphan, and Asahiah, went unto Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe; (now she dwelt in Jerusalem in the college;) and they communed with her.

Judges 4:4-5
4 And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time.
5 And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment.

Acts 21:9 And the same man had four daughters, virgins, which did prophesy (teach).
