Who is the strange woman? Proverbs 6?

Pro 6:20  My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
Pro 6:21  Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
Pro 6:22  When thou goest, it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.
Pro 6:23  For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; and reproofs of instruction are the way of life:
Pro 6:24  To keep thee from the evil woman, from the flattery of the tongue of a strange woman.
Pro 6:25  Lust not after her beauty in thine heart; neither let her take thee with her eyelids.
Pro 6:26  For by means of a whorish woman a man is brought to a piece of bread: and the adulteress will hunt for the precious life.
Pro 6:27  Can a man take fire in his bosom, and his clothes not be burned?
Pro 6:28  Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not be burned?
Pro 6:29  So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife; whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent.

Ok?  It sound like the "Strange Woman" is out there on the street corner!  Am I right!

But maybe she is NOT on the street corner!  Maybe she is a "nice" "solid" "truthful" Conservative Bible Believing Stay-At-Home-Mom!  Yes, you read that right!

Why would a nice domesticated woman be a strange woman?  Because the verses speaks about the LAW before it speaks about the strange woman!  Notice the order!

Proverbs 6:20 tells "my son" to keep they father's commandment.  Who do we know who was able to fulfill the law and never sent aside to the strange woman?  JESUS!  In order to prevent men from "going aside" to woman "on the street corner" men need a saviour to show them how to follow the WAY of LIFE!

Essentially, a person who says they love JESUS and love the idea of "stay at home life" for woman, but says that the LAW is not "for today" because JESUS fulfilled the law and thus encourages people to ignore it......simply MISSES the ENTIRE point of Proverbs chapter 6!

The fulfilling of the LAW was through JESUS.  HE kept away from the "strange woman."  He never went aside!


Do they (man or woman) have the LAW in their heart?  The commandment in their heart?

If they do NOT.......even if they know the "new testament,"  they are a "strange woman"!

Yes, the conservative bible believer may want you to fully believe that marriage is "one man and one woman" which it IS in a way, but it is MORE than that! (some say it can even be polygny practice or brotherly and sisterly love).  It is HOLINESS in JESUS!  To be merciful to those who simply have struggles meeting up to the COMMANDMENTS of the LORD!  The commandments are GOOD.  The law is good if one strives for it lawfully!

So if a person claims superiourity to another man, or is a respecter of certain persons, they claim "conservative Christian" beliefs, BUT if they do not believe that man should strive LAWFULLY, then that is a red-flag to those who would LOVE to know the TRUTH and the FULLNESS of the scripture!

To keep away from the "Strange woman,"  is to keep away from the woman who wants you to disbelieve the entire scripture!  He or she only wants you to believe certain parts and pieces from the scripture!

Take the word of God seriously means that it is ok to acknowledge whom Jesus loved.....Mary, Martha, Lazarus and a whole crew of men (disciples with one he really loved).  He most truly loved his BRIDE!  His bride shall be purified by the ENTIRE scripture!


As my childhood had some of these "elements" and hanging around in a secular way (hence secular videos from time to time do express the truth as it does in the book of Esther) with folks from the middle east..... I'll leave this video to help comprehend the LOVE of God.  Legalism is opposition to the scripture as a whole BODY.




Man ends up at a cross roads, free-falling towards the TRUTH found in the scripture:




The "lawless" man would represent the "bad guy" in this video.  The man that listened to the "law" is represented by Charlie in this video.


And even though this appears like she isn't wearing the "right clothes" she is still speaking about whom to trust!



Now from a spiritual man vs. the natural man perspective:
