Christian beliefs

[Eclipsed_Skies2]

So I just have a general question for people, how do your Christian beliefs impact your life? Feel free to answer however you want, the more honesty the better!  

[Miss Pagan Rose]

My beliefs impact my life in every way possible! From the things I do in my everyday life (like cleaning house, cooking, grocery shopping, etc.) to courtship (I don't date) to the things I read and write to the way I interact with my family to the goals I have for my life, my beliefs affect them all!

For example, because I believe that Biblically, women are to work in their homes, I'm not going to college, and I'm working at home, helping my mother and sister wherever I can. That will affect my entire future, especially if I don't ever get married or if my husband dies or (God forbid!) leaves me.

And that's just the tip of the iceburg.

So first, i'm kinda curious what the difference between 'dating' and 'courtship' are. I've heard the terms... but i've never heard them explained.

And on topic... lately I have been trying to be more giving with my time and more social, less... err I guess arrogant is the word. Sort of.

Convictions are starting to form, I guess. We'll see how it works out.

You're not going to college because you're a woman? I'm sorry, you should try thinking sometime.

Well I did find myself arguing with atheists way more than I did before I actually took my faith seriously. And allot of things that I used to do freely has to now be reconsidered that's about it actually.

Actually, I'm not going to college because I don't think you have to do so to become a housewife. If I were a man and I wanted to be a doctor or something, I would have to go to college. But I just don't think that having a college degree is worth the debt, struggle, and terrible influences you get when you're there ... and most people come out knowing little more than they did when they went in.

Im sorry, but which Medical school were you thinking of?...belive it or not you tend to come out of them...well gosh knowing s**t loads more than you did going in, i have a friend who just to became a Nurse he had to study something disasterous and he has it easy compared to what doctors have to study and know.

You have a right not to aim high and get a career, but dont say that college or education isnt worth the effort, or you dont learn anything

Okay, when it comes to certain things like the medical field and law, college teaches you a lot! I'm talking about the average person that gets a B.A.

It really sounds like a good idea, actually.  

[divineseraph]

Because you're a woman you can't be a doctor? Again, I beg of you, start thinking critically.  

[Sybil Unrest]

You could always go to college to learn about theology, that would be useful. (Thats what I did)

Actually medical school and law school are a lot different than college. Medical and Law school has classes that are based on the law and medical field with college you can get a degree in just about anything and the electives you take in college don't have to go towards a ba but you can use what you learn in say psychology and apply them to real life.

Also there is a need for women in the medical field. We need female nurses and doctors etc. The primary function of a woman is to be a nurturer or care giver, being a doctor or a nurse fulfills that function and it brings joy and happiness to other people. Not only that but you are healing and caring for the sick. And you save lives.
