Deuteronomy

Deuteronomy

• A Womans Place is in the.?

2

• In this book are the words that Moses spoke to
  the people of Israel when they were in the
  wilderness east of the Jordan River.
  (Deuteronomy 11 GN)

3

• I just want to do what the Bible says.
• The Bible says it, I believe it, and that
  settles it.
• Dont spend a lot of time with fancy
  explanations and theories. Just obey the word of
  God.

4

• Every year be sure to save a tenth of the crops
  harvested from whatever you plant in your
  fields.
• But suppose you cant carry that ten percent of
  your harvest to the place where the LORD chooses
  to be worshiped. If you live too far away, or if
  the LORD gives you a big harvest, then sell this
  part and take the money there instead. When you
  and your family arrive, spend the money on food
  for a big celebration. Buy cattle, sheep, goats,
  wine, beer, and if there are any other kinds of
  food that you want, buy those too. (Deuteronomy
  1424-26 CEV)

5

• wine, or other alcoholic drink (NLT)
• wine, or beer--anything that looks good to you
  (The Message)
• wine, liquor-whatever you choose (GODS Word)

Cities of refuge

• When the LORD your God destroys the nations
  whose land He is giving you, you will take over
  their land and settle in their towns and homes.
  Then you must set apart three cities of refuge in
  the land the LORD your God is giving you. Survey
  the territory, and divide the land the LORD your
  God is giving you into three districts, with one
  of these cities in each districtIf someone kills
  another person unintentionally, without previous
  hostility, the slayer may flee to any of these
  cities to live in safety. (Deuteronomy 191-4
  NLT)

7

• For example, suppose someone goes into the
  forest with a neighbor to cut wood. And suppose
  one of them swings an ax to chop down a tree, and
  the ax head flies off the handle, killing the
  other person. In such cases, the slayer may flee
  to one of the cities of refuge to live in safety.
  If the distance to the nearest city of refuge is
  too far, an enraged avenger might be able to
  chase down and kill the person who caused the
  death. Then the slayer would die unfairly, since
  he had never shown hostility toward the person
  who died. That is why I am commanding you to set
  aside three cities of refuge. (Deuteronomy
  195-7 NLT)

8

• I forbid the practice of private vengeance. If a
  man accidently kills another man while chopping
  wood, his blood may not be avenged by his
  family.

9
Slavery

• Slavery was established by decree of Almighty
  God...it is sanctioned in the Bible, in both
  Testaments, from Genesis to Revelation...it has
  existed in all ages, has been found among the
  people of the highest civilization, and in
  nations of the highest proficiency
  in the arts.
• Jefferson Davis

10

• "If you buy a Hebrew slave, he may serve for no
  more than six years. Set him free in the seventh
  year, and he will owe you nothing for his
  freedom. (Exodus 212 NLT)
• When a man sells his daughter as a slave, she
  will not be freed at the end of six years as the
  men are. (Exodus 217 NLT)

11

• Slaves, obey your human masters with fear and
  trembling and do it with a sincere heart, as
  though you were serving Christ. (Ephesians 65
  GNB)

12

• Masters, be fair and just in the way you treat
  your slaves. Remember that you too have a Master
  in heaven. (Colossians 41 GNB)
• There is no longer Jew or Greek, there is no
  longer slave or free, there is no longer male and
  female for all of you are one in Christ Jesus.
  (Galatians 328)

13

• It was not the apostles work to overturn
  arbitrarily or suddenly the established order of
  society. To attempt this would be to prevent the
  success of the gospel. But he taught principles
  which struck at the very foundation of slavery
  and which, if carried into effect, would surely
  undermine the whole system. (AA pg. 459)

14
Polygamy

• Before we begin, it is necessary to examine all
  assumptions in the polygamy issue as it relates
  to the Bible Do you accept the Bible as Gods
  Wordfrom cover to cover? If your answer is "no",
  then there is no point in your continuing with
  this essay because we will be working on
  different assumptionsThe reason I would
  categorize you as "secular" is because the
  arguments advanced by secularists are practically
  the same as those advanced by those who do not
  wholly accept the Bible's teachings. Somewhere
  along the line Yahweh's infallible Word is judged
  by those "Christians" who find it difficult to
  accept what Yahweh says in the same way as
  secularists do. Those who only accept the Bible
  in part only accept Yahweh in part.

15

• In my experience, though, the vast majority of
  Christians who say they accept God's Word from
  cover to cover rarely do. When Gods Word
  contradicts what they believe, instead of
  confessing their error and readjusting their
  lives accordinglythey wriggle and squirm and try
  to twist Scripture to conform to them.

16

• If a man takes a second wife, he must continue
  to give his first wife the same amount of food
  and clothing and the same rights that she had
  before. (Exodus 2110 GNB)

War

• God is pro war

• Suppose a man marries a young woman and later he
  decides he doesn't want her. So he makes up false
  charges against her, accusing her of not being a
  virgin when they got married. If this happens,
  the young woman's parents are to take the
  blood-stained wedding sheet that proves she was a
  virgin, and they are to show it in court to the
  town leaders. Her father will say to them, I
  gave my daughter to this man in marriage, and now
  he doesnt want her. He has made false charges
  against her, saying that she was not a virgin
  when he married her. But here is the proof that
  my daughter was a virgin look at the bloodstains
  on the wedding sheet! (Deuteronomy 2213-17
  GNB)

20

• Then the town leaders are to take the husband
  and beat him. They are also to fine him a hundred
  pieces of silver and give the money to the young
  woman's father, because the man has brought
  disgrace on an Israelite woman. Moreover, she
  will continue to be his wife, and he can never
  divorce her as long as he lives. But if the
  charge is true and there is no proof that she was
  a virgin, then they are to take her out to the
  entrance of her father's house, where the men of
  her city are to stone her to death. She has done
  a shameful thing among our people by having
  intercourse before she was married, while she was
  still living in her father's house. In this way
  you will get rid of this evil. (Deuteronomy
  2218-21 GNB)

21

• If two men are having a fight and the wife of
  one tries to help her husband by grabbing hold of
  the other mans genitals, show her no mercy cut
  off her hand. (Deuteronomy 2511-12 GNB)
• ? Shave her groin

22

• When the LORD your God gives you victory in
  battle and you take prisoners, you may see among
  them a beautiful woman that you like and want to
  marry. Take her to your home, where she will
  shave her head, cut her fingernails, and change
  her clothes. She is to stay in your home and
  mourn for her parents for a month after that,
  you may marry her. Later, if you no longer want
  her, you are to let her go free. Since you forced
  her to have intercourse with you, you cannot
  treat her as a slave and sell her. (Deuteronomy
  2110-14 GNB)

23

• Suppose a man is caught raping a young woman who
  is not engaged. He is to pay her father the bride
  price of fifty pieces of silver, and she is to
  become his wife, because he forced her to have
  intercourse with him. He can never divorce her as
  long as he lives. No man is to disgrace his
  father by having intercourse with any of his
  father's wives. (Deuteronomy 2228-30 GNB)

24
Divorce

• It was also said, Anyone who divorces his wife
  must give her a written notice of divorce. But
  now I tell you if a man divorces his wife for
  any cause other than her unfaithfulness, then he
  is guilty... (Matthew 531-32)

25

• Some Pharisees came and tried to trap Him with
  this question Should a man be allowed to
  divorce his wife for just any reason? Havent
  you read the Scriptures? Jesus replied. They
  record that from the beginning 'God made them
  male and female.' And He said, 'This explains why
  a man leaves his father and mother and is joined
  to his wife, and the two are united into one.'
  Since they are no longer two but one, let no one
  split apart what God has joined together. Then
  why did Moses say in the law that a man could
  give his wife a written notice of divorce and
  send her away? they asked.

26

• Moses permitted divorce only as a concession to
  your hard hearts, but it was not what God had
  originally intended. (Matthew 193-8 NLT)

27

• Those who come to the conclusion that there is
  not a distinction made in the Bible all the way
  from Adam to Revelation in the roles of men and
  women in the church have to go through the most
  phenomenal mind bending gymnastic to escape the
  plain truth, that its incomprehensible to me.

28

• Women submit yourselves to your own husbands
  (Ephesians 522)
• Some will say, well he (Paul) was off his
  medication those days. Or that this just
  doesnt really matter. Paul was being influenced
  by the traditions of the culture? So were not
  supposed to take these verses seriously. Whats
  gonna happen to your Bible? How are you gonna
  chop up your scriptures if you start picking and
  choosing what passages and commands you think the
  writers were under some imbalanced influence of
  the cultures of the day? - Batchelor

29

• The ultimate authority biblically, for Gods
  people, from Adam to the present day, has been
  that men are to be the priest leaders in the
  family and in the church. They are to be
  ordained. What that means is, God has designed in
  his order of things, doesnt matter how popular
  it is, or what the world says, its what the word
  says that men should have the authority to be
  the spiritual guides, the leaders in familySo
  when God says things in his word should be a
  certain way, are we going to tell him hes wrong?
  We may not understand it, but the first thing
  before we understand is to submit to what he
  says. - Batchelor

• The head of woman is man (1 Corinthians 113)
• A woman dishonors her head if she prays or
  prophesies without a covering on her head, for
  this is the same as shaving her head. Yes, if she
  refuses to wear a head covering, she should cut
  off all her haira woman should wear a covering
  on her head to show she is under authority. (1
  Corinthians 115,6,10).

32

• But if anyone wants to argue about this, I
  simply say that we have no other custom than
  this, and neither to Gods other churches. (1
  Corinthians 1116)

33

• The women should keep quiet in the meetings.
  They are not allowed to speak as the Jewish Law
  says, they must not be in charge. If they want to
  find out something, they should ask their
  husbands at home. It is a disgraceful thing for a
  woman to speak in a church meeting. (1
  Corinthians 1433-35)
