Just trying to get through the day, man.
Paul uses that idea to warn the Corinthian men away from hiring prostitutes. But look where he takes that thought immediately afterward in chapter 7 (and remember, these chapter divisions are much later additions--he's continuing the same line of reasoning!)
![Now concerning the matters about which you wrote: “It is good for a man not to touch a woman.” 2 But because of cases of sexual immorality, each man should have his own wife and each woman her own husband. 3 The husband should give to his wife what is due her and likewise the wife to her husband. 4 For the wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does; likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does. 5 Do not deprive one another except perhaps by agreement for a set time, to devote yourselves to prayer,[a] and then come together again, so that Satan may not tempt you because of your lack of self-control. 6 This I say by way of concession, not of command. 7 I wish that all were as I myself am. But each has a particular gift from God, one having one kind and another a different kind.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y4gme2vhk7zqmpg5q6hdqrfv/bafkreigwfhroolrujq4yvtpipjqn4g5fnf5xr7gagzwmdms3ypumsbxbf4@jpeg)

She says "The Bible says that our lives are not our own but that our lives and bodies belong to the Lord for His glory." This one actually is a scriptural teaching, more or less.
Here's 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

![19 Or do you not know that your body is a temple[g] of the Holy Spirit within you, which you have from God, and that you are not your own? 20 For you were bought with a price; therefore glorify God in your body.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y4gme2vhk7zqmpg5q6hdqrfv/bafkreifoihhiav6ep7sabw7z6zqkvhj5yqgwfe3ihcqwubj7fers2zvqh4@jpeg)

Fulnecky is basically right about the Hebrew "ezer kenegdo," but because she's wrong about everything else, she misunderstands it to mean "women are equal to men even though they are different" when it is really yet another biblical indication of the essential sameness of women and men.

Here's the creation account in Genesis 1. There's no "snips and snails and puppy dog tails" for men and "sugar and spice and everything nice" for women. Just
So God created humans in his image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
So God created humans in his image,

![26 Then God said, “Let us make humans in our image, according to our likeness, and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over the cattle and over all the wild animals of the earth[d] and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”
27 So God created humans[e] in his image,
in the image of God he created them;
male and female he created them.
28 God blessed them, and God said to them, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the earth and subdue it and have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the air and over every living thing that moves upon the earth.” 29 God said, “See, I have given you every plant yielding seed that is upon the face of all the earth and every tree with seed in its fruit; you shall have them for food. 30 And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the air and to everything that creeps on the earth, everything that has the breath of life, I have given every green plant for food.” And it was so. 31 God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:y4gme2vhk7zqmpg5q6hdqrfv/bafkreihjrx4fl6zc5wsu7vifqlp4tj5dwilc5ugs4m6wd5s64nmmc4otuq@jpeg)

That makes sense, because the Bible never says what she claims it says. Take this opening paragraph. Her line "God
created men in the image of His courage and strength, and He created women in the image of His
beauty" has zero biblical support. There's not a verse remotely like that anywhere.

Bought a Mac about eight years ago that was always cranky. Something went wrong somewhere on the assembly line, and it never quite behaves the way it is supposed to. Turned it on for the first time in a few years today to erase it and recycle it. Encountering little reminders of my past frustrations

Given the current status of the USA, I’m not surprised to see a Scottish university advertising the possibility of staying in the UK if you go to school there.

Do you think Apple will refund my rental fee for a movie that starts with a misattributed quotation?
Good grief, Hollywood, this doesn’t even remotely sound like something Twain would say. It sounds like something he would make fun of you for saying.
