girls..Want a man,don`t need a man..difference?l

I notice some girls say "I want a man, don`t need a man."

What`s the difference?

Psalm 23... the Lord is my sheppard I shall not want.

Phillipians 4:19... My God shall supply all my needs (including a mate)

Cobbler, yes, it does say that Adam was with her, but there is a split in commentaries as to whether this speaks of him being with her at the time of the tempation or not.



Once again, I don't have my Bible with me but it does clearly say that Adam was not deceived. I will look this up when I get home.

@joey...ya need a backhoe



There is nothing wrong with needing...we all need...we are all interdependent on each other. Yes, God supplies our needs, but more often than not the supply comes through another person. We are part of an infinite tapestry that God is weaving. Each warp and weft supporting the threads around it. Threads do not stand alone.



Our culture has told women that because they are able to work, earn a salary, purchase their needs, etc. that they are 'in control' of their lives, independent, and do not need a man to survive. Nothing can be further from the truth. If you want to really understand this concept, close your eyes and picture a world where no men exist and the products of their labours do not exist. (This is aside from the fact that it takes sperm to make a baby and produce the women.) The housing that would evaporate, the cars, equipment, food off the table and out of non-existent grocery stores. And not just physically, but emotionally, intellectually and spiritually as well. It is not the natural order of things. God's design has purpose. Being independent is not being Kingdom minded.



Now, there is a big difference between being 'needy' and being 'needful'. I would submit that if a woman was not needful of a man, she would not be on here looking for one (or a man needful of a woman). There is a need that is there drawing you to the search. But, GodsLamb, makes a good point. Not just any man will do...there are specific needs inherent to a particular person that leads them in their search...they are looking for their compliment. We all need food to survive. If I am hungry, being needy is like gorging myself on whatever food is available. Being needful is understanding that I need to nourish myself with healthy foods that will support my body and build it up.

Shawn, great observation .:laugh:...I would of missed it....Thanks!

Cobbler, don't take me to serious, I like to push buttons just to see what they do. If you look close you can see what they reveal.

MargoSolo: I believe you are thinking of 1 Timothy 2:14 (NASB) And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. Which is followed by one of the obscure or unusual verses: 15 But women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.



I guess the Bible supports not needing a man. Women used to need a man for the �child bearing process�, but through artificial means, that is no longer necessary. Therefore they can be preserved without the �need� for a man.

�If you two hugely intelligent people would consider my profile then ponder the type of women I am around......are you pondering?......ok time's up. I am around women that can and do work side by side with men. They are strong tough capable confident women without chips on�



Chuck,



What makes you think that those types of women are not EVERYWHERE? While they may be �around� you�I would venture to say that the ones you prefer are the ones that say



�OHHH! Chuckie!..you�re soooo strong! I Need a man like yooou!



I�d see a doctor about those worms!



God did not make Chuck and Chuck or Chuckette and Chuckette. He made them male and female. Two that are to combine into One. There is no longer a �need� or a �dependency�, because they are One (with God).



Just as God and The Holy Spirit and Jesus are Separate yet One�so too are a man and a woman. We NEED only One Person�GOD!



We expect from our spouse Love�Respect�Dignity�Honor and many more things, but we do not Need these things from them.



A child �Needs� these things and more (Attention�Approval�) because its sense of Self-worth is predicated on receiving them. We are no longer children. We no longer �need� to be the center of attention (by �stirring up the pot�). All we really need is GOD!



Now what we �Want� is a different story.

Chuck,



I got tired of your "childish" silly games. It's bad enough here in The Forum...I do not need it in my Inbox.

Women need to be needed, too.



I don't *need* just any man. If and when God provides me with a husband, I will need him. My life will have a huge hole without him. But that's *him*, my husband, not just any "a man". Know what I mean?



(Totally unrelated to anything, but because it's nearly kickoff: Go Broncos!!!!)



(Boise State, that is)

Very good way of putting it, Mountainlass.

I'm curious, though. Men, what do you think of when a woman says she "needs" you? Women, what do you think of when you say you "need" a man?

I have a feeling that our concepts of "need" are very different.

Men, what could a woman do to make you feel needed, if you feel you have to be needed to be interested?
