Spiritually Speaking => Manna For The Soul => Topic started by: Ben on September 21, 2004, 12:48:01 PM
My wife and I were discussing men and women and the spiritual differences in them. I mentioned that Matthew Henry, the famous bible commentator of the 16th century claims that, "it is probable that there have been and are more good women than good men (Acts 17:4, 12.) (From his commentary on Ecclesiastes 7:28 where Solomon claimed he had found "one [righteous] man in a thousand, but not one women.) Another commentator claims that Solomon was speaking of The Messiah in this passage. In actuality there are NO righteous men (or women) at all according to Romans 3:10 (except of course Jesus Christ.)
Statistics show that 85% of all prisoners are men, and men commit virtually all violent crimes. Eve was tricked into sinning by the serpent, whereas Adam willingly and with reckless disregard to God's direct command to himout and out sinned.
So I believe there are more good women than good men.

"There is none good, only God."
Jesus says. :)
Ah...women behave better than men on the whole I agree with you Ben. Â When they do wrong it is "because there always is a man to blame." ;).
I do love you Chris...honest I do  ;)
