These verses don’t offer proof.
Hebrews 11:1-2 NOW FAITH is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
The scriptures are seen, and experiencing persecution is not what Christians hope for (at least it shouldn’t be).
Originally posted by blindfaith101Faith is the substance that is hoped for. Do Christians hope to be persecuted, or do they hope to see Heaven?

This is true. BlindFaith101 cannot explain his own rhetoric and wonders why nobody else has blind faith in it.

I'm saying that it's a bit worrying that you chose to answer what was a fairly practical, non-theological question about which gender is more prevalent in Christianity by:
1. referring to a passage of Scripture
2. referring to a passage that is, on the top layer at least, about judgment of Judah and Jersualem, rather than about the church.
3. making the answer relevant to the last days.
You're even loose in your own logic. Now you seem to be saying things about 'women today'. Are you saying these are the attitudes of women today IN THE CHURCH? Because the original question was about the gender of Christians.
In which case I think you're flat out wrong. Because in my experience CHRISTIAN women still want marriage.
