The Christian gender roles set up in the NT are contrary to the OT:

In this round, I shall go over my opponents debate and then conclude my own. Context and fallacy: Though I have used the same scripture, the context I used lead me to a completely different conclusion than a Muslim. Through your Strawman statement, you have compared and inserted the Muslim conclusion in the place of mine. This is making my use of context and even my case seem like a immoral platform. My case does not stand for this at all. Therefore, my opponent is guilty of fallacy. I would like to urge the voters to not let my opponent slide from such a crime. Context has an affect on everything. Looking at a individual scripture can say one thing, but seeing how it corresponds with the rest of the chapter and history is another. Pot calling the kettle: Well of course I didn't have a source, my opponent was my source. You are obviously the one being hypocritical. I said, ""let her breasts satisfy thee at all times;" I could argue that this scriptures says that women should always satisfy men with their boobs and that God commands it." My opponent said, " and even if it were being said literally there wouldn"t be anything wrong with drawing pleasure from your wife, only with abusing her/mistreating her as is the case with everyone else." So it is abusing her/mistreating her in the case of everyone else but the husband. Men leading the household: Well... I didn't know you were a Karaite Jew. That would have been nice to know before you started the debate.My opponent could have at least called the debate: "To a Karaite Jew, The Christian gender roles set up in the NT are contrary to the OT." Well because you haven't presented this until the final round, you have no room to refute the Jewish rabbi's teachings. My source is not discredited because of my opponent"s personal beliefs. It is valid regardless of his Karaite Judaism as he didn"t limit the resources to only Karaite approved sources. If that was the case, no one would have taken this debate. P.S. Your P.S. statement goes on for miles to explain why you believes what you believe. However, it would have been nice to know that at the beginning of this debate so we could have had a more meaningful discussion and not at the tail end with no source. Also, if my opponent can refute evidence with his personal bias, then I should be able to refute all of his interpretations of scriptures because my prophet didn't validate it. Hey, it's only fair. Man created first: I think my opponent could go on forever saying that we don't know that Adam was a man. Even though I have already proven he was a man, your attack does not offer any evidence that supports that there were no gender roles in the Old Testament. This attack has obviously strayed far away from your debate, so I will just end it now. Gender roles: I can't make every man and woman take on gender roles. But God created the family so that we can work together to go back to live with our heavenly father again. Assuming gender roles in the family help support the family. So you shouldn't attack me for trying to get people to assume gender roles so that they can support God's sacred gift, which is the family. If you haven't noticed, I have already explained 1 Timothy 2:12 to you in round 3. But we have learned by looking at the background of this scripture that Paul was making an effort to correct a specific problem where some women were usurping the authority of Church leaders (1 Timothy 2:11). Therefore, this makes my claim that "the NT doesn't say that women shouldn't teach" true, and not contradictory in any way. Gen 21:12 doesn't contradict the New Testament in any way also. Like before, I have already explained this scripture in round 2. Conclusion: My opponent has failed to demonstrate the original premise of this debate. Let it be known that my opponent does not have an actual structured case to prove that the NT is contrary to the OT. He just has multiple failed attacks that are not supported by any values, sources and/or statements. He has even failed to support his burden of proof, which should fall upon him only. My opponent has contradicted himself in this debate many times because of this. Therefore, my opponent really has no case to prove me wrong. I still have a strong argument. I have used values, sources, non biased quotes and statements and scriptures to prove my interpretation of these scriptures and gender roles. By reading my case, you can see that I have supported and proven (even though I was never given the burden of proof) that the gender roles set up in the New Testament do not contradict the gender roles in the Old Testament. I have shown how the gender roles are established in Genesis, and are then explained and taught multiple times throughout the Old and New Testament. I have proven that The Old and New testament are in harmony with each other. That is why my case still stands as a strong (and pretty much only) argument in this debate. I will now restate my contentions/scriptures. Scripture 1: Ephesians 5:22: "Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord." Wives should follow their husbands, because one of the gender roles of husbands is to lead the family. Scripture 2: Ephesians 5: 25: "Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it;" Love is a key ingredient for marriage and family. Love helps a husband wife work together to help the family and to complement each other in their roles. Scripture 3: Ephesians 5: 31: "For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh." Even though men and women have different roles, they should work together as equals, or as "one flesh". They shouldn't be like master and slave, but as a loving husband and wife. Gender roles are a important part of the family. They help create love, unity, and support to build a strong family. Both the Old and New testament agree that gender roles should be respected; for they are important for the fulfillment of a strong family. Therefore, This should ultimately conclude the statement: "The Christian gender roles set up in the NT are contrary to the OT" as false. "Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband." Ephesians 5:33. I would like to thank you for your time and harrytruman for this debate. I strongly urge you to vote for the negative side of this debate.
