Admin	Ladies...what`s so great about Boaz? Posted : 31 Dec, 2010 09:00 AM I see some ladies looking for a Boaz type man for a husband. What qualities does Boax have that make him attractive as a husband? Do nice guys like Boaz get ignored by todays "modern" women because he`s just a nice guy. Post Reply

Posted : 31 Jan, 2011 05:40 PM my best part was when Ruth went to Boaz and to protect her reputation he had covered her so no will see her. he is a generous person and protector. I would love to find someone with Boaz characteristic.:hearts: Post Reply

It goes both ways; but I think it's fundamentally the men that misrepresent their selves; and then when they feel like they've sealed the deal... they relax; and stop doing the sales-driven behaviors. Then the woman wonders what happened; feels ignored; (because relatively she now is) gets resentful... they fight... the man thinks she's crazy... (because he's usually not self-aware enough to realize the hypocrisy of his own courting behavior) and then the couple then proceeds to go through the ridiculous cyclical pattern of counseling... manufacturing of intimacy... and reverting to old behaviors after the threat of divorce has subsided. - elaboration not specifically directed toward you - The root problem is that these relationships are founded on self-gratification; rather than mutually-compatible life-purpose - thus shared mission - for God. Most couples come together based on mutual attraction; and then manufacture a sense of mutual purpose for God that is a lowest-common-denominator - and extremely vague - in nature. They focus on each other instead of together focusing on others.* So they don't notice that they really don't have anything in common as far as serving God... So whenever the trials come... instead of "counting it all joy..." because they have the foundation of purpose for God to give meaning to their being together... they seek only to restore the self-gratifying good-feelings that distract from the inherent largely self-serving pointlessness of their union. Another thing revealed in this story: Boaz doesn't pursue. Christ doesn't either. Christ "stands at the door and knocks" That's a completely different concept. Women want to be pursued; because it implies value: it's engratiating to their weak sense of worth; because they aren't truly dependent on God; because they spend more time telling God how much they love Him... instead of accepting the reality that "if you loved me you'd keep my commandments" We don't. Ergo we don't truly love God. Only when we're able to be honest with our selves about our true condition: "wretched creatures" (the spirit being willing; but the flesh being weak) only then will our subconscious cease to blind us to all that is evidence of our true nature; and only then will we truly begin to experience God; and only then will we be truly content; and only then will we no longer seek God feelings from other humans being; and only then will we be able to make a mature decision in regards to life mate. Until then it's just sensationalist pursuit of 'companionship' for it's own sake. The way of ministry is focus on others. Romance - like sex - is for the purpose of affirmation of the covenant between man and wife. When romance and sex are consciously reserved... then one understands that they're always manifested by choice. When this is mutually understood... emotional autonomy is realized. And then you have two people that can functionally defy the seeming laws of gravity: The world falling apart all around you? Doesn't matter. You can still come together in private in writhing self-indulgent emotional>physical passion that is not only permissible in context of marriage; but is literally mandated in scripture. This is the metaphoric-romantic application of the same concept behind "the peace that passeth understanding." Post Reply
View Profile History	Ladies...what`s so great about Boaz? Posted : 13 Feb, 2011 08:00 AM It's not a bad thing for men to pursue women. God -designed- men that way, and he designed women to be gentle and caring and look after children. Why do men have bigger muscles than women? To protect them and do the labor. Same reason women have the child-bearing hips and the womb and everything. lol. Women want to be pursued because no woman wants to try to make a man love her, or want her, it is the man's part to pursue a lady. God pursues his people, in a way, he's not just sitting up in heaven waiting for things to happen, he is sovereign and made things the way they are, and is in control of everything, working in our lives all the time, whether we realize it or not.
