Message-ID: Date: 2 Nov 90 08:02:32 GMT Sender: hedrick@porthos.rutgers.edu Lines: 15 Approved: christian@aramis.rutgers.edu here's what the instructor said in my counselling class at bible college: the scripture says "if a MAN will not provide for those of his household he has denied the faith and is worse than an infidel" so the woman should never have to work to support the family. it'a a different thing if she WANTS to work but even then the motive must not be to support the family. the closure to this is of-course the scripture that says "be content with what you have for God has said, 'I will never leave you nor forsake you...'" -L. but then, "as for God, His way is PERFECT".
