Christian Women Do Not Struggle With l**t or Envy?
The Barna Group, a research firm, released some data about what Christian women in the U.S. claim to struggle with. The women claim to struggle less with so called “traditional” sins, such as l**t or envy, than with what are referred to as “modern behaviors”.
This week, the Barna Group released a part of its study titled, “Christian Women Today”. The study revealed that Christian women struggled more with modern behaviors- disorganization (50 percent) and inefficiency (42 percent).
Christian women did not cite traditional sins such as envy (13 percent) and l**t (8 percent) as part of their struggles. Other issues that Christian women claimed to struggle with were anger (36 percent) and selfishness (25 percent).
As much as 73 percent of the women said their spiritual lives were full of joy, while 72 percent said they enjoyed spiritual freedom and 67 percent claimed to have a lot of spiritual fulfillment. Only a very small group, 3 percent, said that they felt high levels of fear, doubt or confusion.
David Kinnaman, president of Barna Group, pointed out that the women’s self assessments may not be accurate, questioning whether so few women struggled with fear, doubt and confusion. Kinnaman suggested that maybe the women were just not willing to admit their shortcomings even if the survey was anonymous.
One statistic that was questionable was how many women admitted to struggling with l**t. While only 8 percent admitted it, Crystal Renaud , founder of Dirty Girls Ministries, thinks the numbers are much different. According to Renaud’s book ‘Dirty Girls Come Clean’, 25 percent of Christian women have an addiction to p*********y and 70 percent of them will never come clean about it.
Says Kinnaman,
“There is a strong sense that social desirability is affecting the results…For example, perhaps Christian women are reluctant to admit their struggles because they might experience shame and guilt by giving a more honest response. Perhaps women need to learn to have grace and compassion for themselves and one another.”
Another possibility is that Christian women estimate their spiritual maturity at a higher level than it actually is and it was suggested that maybe they, as well as Christian men, need to learn how to better assess themselves.
The study was conducted through surveying 603 adult Christian women in the U.S. who have attended a regular church service in the last six months.

I can only speak for myself, ad A Christian woman, I don’t struggle with these two, I used to. On living a saved life I’ve learned to not entertain certain things.Not to say that it doesn’t come up but to cast it down. I am not perfect on my walk but God gave us the strength to handle situations. Its about letting God lead you into the ways and thoughts he would have for you. Sometimes that’s a struggle because we sometimes we make excuses for our selves.
@Sherry:
Are you ‘saving’ yourself for the lawd, too? That adam and eve fairytale is nothing, but a MYTH! If s*x was so bad; why is it, that the number adverstisement on tell-a-LIE-vision is sexually explicit? How come s*x is used 99.9% of the time to sell items, such as; toilet paper and house cleaners!
They now claim that ‘s***n’ is GOOD FOR YOU! Think about that one! But, AIDS is ‘suppose’ to be the number one killer of Black women, but s***n is GOOD for you!!! IT SHOULD BE GOOD FOR YOU…IT BRINGS LIFE INTO THE WORLD!! This government is a JOKE! It is controlling yall’s minds!
Back to adam and eve: Why was s*x so evil, but it is the ONLY way to produce children? Making babies was and will ALWAYS be an enjoyable moment of pleasure, IF IT’S WITH THE RIGHT ‘GODLY MAN’ or woman!!!Doesn’t that bible say, produce? Well, what was wrong with ‘adam and eve’ having s*x? Didn’t they produce? THAT BIBLE GOT YOU NEGROIDS MESSED UP!!!
FIRST and foremost; there was no creatures, called adam and eve. If you read INTO that bible, it clearly states, that The Black Messiah said, Let []make man in our image!!! Why is the word [US] being used, if it didn’t mean a help/s*x mate? He sure didn’t meant for [US] to mean another male because two males CAN NOT PRODUCE!
[US]was the Black Goddess, he had s*x with! WE WOULD NOT BE HERE, IF IT WERE NOT FOR s*x!!! Didn’t you get here through your father and mother? Didn’t they get here through their father and mother? So forth and so on…
Let’s stop letting some preacha brainwash you with these biblical LIES! If s*x was so bad, why do a MAJORITY of these screachas run after young girls?
You can still be a xtian woman, and have RESPECT for yourself! Even a prostitute can have class, but she’s still a ‘ho! You know, just as well, as I know, that you have church ho’s l*****g AFTER THE SCREACHA…AND HIS WIFE!!! So, quit playin’!!!
Don’t let this ‘god’ thang control your thinking. If people were so godly and xtian-like: Why do so-called negroid xtians HATE THEIR OWN KIND? How come caucasoid xtians HATE ALL BLACK PEOPLE, but claim to love god? NOTHING, BUT LIARS!!!
1John 4:20 reads: ” If anyone says, “I love God,” yet hates his brother, he is a liar. For anyone who does not love his brother, whom he has seen, cannot love God, whom he has not seen.”
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY:
AFRIKAN s*x vs CAUCASIAN s*x
“caucasian sexuality speaks to caucasian reality. It makes sense to
them and them only. Caucasians are colonizing s*x and attempting
to program their sexuality into Afrikans. Caucasians sexuality
practiced by Afrikans puts the Afrikan in conflict with Afrikan
culture and nature. It makes the Afrikan an enemy of their own
culture. The caucasians are trying to change a lion’s nature to that of a monkey. And this makes the Afrikan mentally ill and a s****l
“Uncle Tom”.
The purpose of Afrikan s*x is to serve Ma’at (truth, justice,
harmony, balance, etc.) Afrikan culture believes that the s*x organs
have 2 functions which are reproduction (e*********n, conception) and regeneration (injaculation, o****m). Afrikan culture also believe that each act of s****l intercourse creates either a
child, a spirit child or a thought.
Afrikan s*x is a spiritual activity and a way to serve Ma’at and
usually a prayer is said before the act of s*x or a ritual and/or
ceremony is done to spiritualize the activity. Caucasian s*x is based
upon their l**t and violence.
Do not be deceived by other culture’s s*x such as the Chinese,
Japanese, Koreans, Arabs and Indians (from India) as they are
sexually sick as the caucasian.” -Dr. Llaila O. Afrika
STOP EMBRACING THIS WHITE/WASHED RELIGION BECAUSE THESE CAUCASOID XTIANS, such as these; japs, chinese, lebanese, koreans and caucasoids are nothing, but devils!!!
ENJOY LIFE NOW; BECAUSE ‘heaven’ AND ‘h**l’ IS A STATE OF MIND!
@Derrick. Of course you’ve got the right idea, but with a few misconceptions added.
It is almost impossible to reprogram the minds of a people suffering from a psychological disease called “Stockholm Syndrome”! Our enslaved ancestors caught it from their Caucasian owners and “friendly God” worshipers. They were infected by many of the white-man’s, thoughts, ways and religions. The whites knew that infecting people’s minds with religious superstitions would cause them to replace clear thinking with false beliefs and supercilious psychological controls. This helps our “world enslavers” keep their control and power over great masses fully intact! Our culture, traditions, languages and our own superstitions as African people were replaced with exactly the things the “whites” wanted us to have, and here we are, some forty-five million strong, but weak to the nth degree because we are unable to differentiate between complete reality and “white-power” imposed fantasy! Accepting Euro-beliefs, and cowering really worked for our ancestors, to keep them from being massacred, but it doesn’t work well for us today!
If “blacks” are believing in a superstitious being they are unable to see in it, the fantasy, falsity, superstitions, and fictions staring them right in their faces! We are all subjected to the ills of the Anglo-Saxon’s pillaging and religion-planting ilks. We are all left running around mentally helter-skelter!But not just us..Look around. They’ve done this to literally three quarters of the world! Our people are unable to see, and the other fourth will never know what hit them!
From one blood many and from law reality. The created cannot deny its creator without being deranged and consistently opposing itself. To oppose oneself is to deny the purpose of one’s being on this planet. The purpose is to become members of the Creator’s family. That family is immortal. God is reproducing Himself. The nations are a drop in the bucket. The universe is expanding. The universe is created to be inhabited by the immortal Sons of God. A number that cannot be counted. There are more planets in each galaxy than there are stars. Earth will be the headquarters of the universe. When E.T. phones home he will be calling earth.The stars shall call and the Earth shall answer. Of the increase of The Kingdom and righteousness there shall be no end. God inhabits His people and they shall inhabit the cosmos. By this He can state, “Do not I inhabit heaven and earth?” There are laws that assure the existence of all things and one lawgiver. He is God and He communicates with total transparency and He is not the author of confusion. He has promised to establish His government on this planet. It will happen. Peace will be enforced in order to heal this planet and all who will will be brought into the immortal Family of God. This is the Gospel of the Kingdom of God that Christ preached. He did not preach about himself. He introduced God The Father. “I and The Father are One.” “If you have seen me you have seen The Father.” “No one comes to the Father but by Me.” “No one comes to me except The Father draws him or her.” You can’t beat that level of unity. Beware of the heretical doctrines of cultural divisiveness and comparing God to human reproductive processes. Having total dominion over matter and energy trumps that. To be teachable and willing is power beyond your wildest imagination. To live is Christ. To die is gain. No one can separate us from the love of God. The ten commandments summarize the love of God and establishes His character within the individual if he is willing to obey them and receive God’s spirit which is His mind working with your mind to establish understanding in your doings and living. This is reality. Anything else is confusion and chaos.
Beautifully stated….!!!!
Good for you Sherry. There will always be people who don’t get it and don’t want to get it. Ignore and keep doing what you know is the right thing.God bless you.

Nothing, but the Truth!!! I stroked a xtian sister on the FIRST DATE!!! We stayed together for 3 years, and was married for 15!!! My point: a woman is a woman, and a man is a man; you do what comes NATURALLY/NATURE.
These so-called xtian females ain’t no better or different than a stripper! They l**t and love too; only it’s done in the entertainment center (church) instead of the bar! There really is no difference betweena church ‘ho and a stripper ‘ho. They are one in the same; the stripper wears stilletto shoes; so does the church girl. The stripper girl wear tight and revealing clothes; so does the church girl. The stripper girl wears tats and studs on their bodies; so doest the church girl. The stripper girl wears blue, red, orange and blond weaves; so does the church girl. Last, but not least:
THE STRIPPER GIRLS STROKES FOR MONEY; SO DOES THESE CHURCH GIRLS!!!
As a matter of Truth, the preacha is pimping these church ho’s; just like these sad a*s negroids, who call themselves pimps, today, who are pimping street ho’s and stripper ho’s!
SAME THANG; DIFFERENT GAME!!!
WHO the h**l did they ask these questions to? because the most MESSY-EST, ENVY-EST, w***e-EST women I know are so called “christan” women believe me I was one for over 20 years a HOLY TALKING/”ACTING” CHRISTIAN WOMAN ….anyone can say that they are a ‘christian’ and that they dont do this or that but the true test is what kind of REPRESENTATIVE OF GOD YOU ARE OUTSIDE THE CHURCH THE COMPANY OF “CHURCHFOLK”!!!! That is what tells the real story! HOW YOU LIVING NOT WHAT YOU TALKING …………
Let’s not forget that xtianity was and still is the MESSIEST, ENVIEST, WHORISH religion on the planet!
Why do you think there are different ‘cults’ within this religion? One group said their way was right; the other group claimed they were godly; while another group said, my way or no way! THIS IS RELIGION…ALL MAN-MADE GARBAGE!!!
SPIRITUALITY is the ONLY way because it deals with your SOUL, not a man-made religion. Your Soul is your BODY, MIND AND SPIRIT. If you have a wicked and evil spirit (like caucasoids); then you are a SOUL-less being! Your MIND will be full of wicked thoughts, and your BODY will carry out your evil and wicked deeds!!!
There are ONLY two religions: The religion of RIGHTEOUSNESS, and the religion of WICKEDNESS!!!
no IF’s AND’s or b**t’s
I AIN’T TURNING NO d**n CHEEKS!
HALLELUJAH!!! Hallelujah is a Hebrew word meaning Praise Yahweh.
YAHWEH
GENDER: Masculine
USAGE: Theology
PRONOUNCED: YAH-way
Meaning & History
A name of the Hebrew God, represented in Hebrew by the tetragrammaton (“four letters”) יהוה (Yod Heh Vav Heh), transliterated into Roman script Y H W H. Because it was considered blasphemous to utter the name of God it was only written and never spoken. This resulted in the original pronunciation being lost. The name may have originally been derived from the old Semitic root הוה(hawah) meaning “to be” or “to become.
In the Black Hebrew language this word means MESSIAH. There were LIVING GODS, that existed during biblical times!!! THEY WERE BLACK!!! And was seen in the flesh. Even the Black Messiah was seen in the flesh.
1 Timothy 3:16 is that Jesus Christ was wholly man, and wholly God, or God of very God.
The word “incarnate” means: made in the flesh, endowed with a human body; having a human body.
If God, being spirit, can incarnate Himself as a man, then the clear scriptural distinction between flesh and spirit
I Tim. 3:16, “And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit…”
manifest = to reveal; show clearly; apparent to the senses, especially that of sight; clear; plain; reveal; to make evident
With this Truth, it is plainly clear to see; that the Black Messiah was seen in the BLACK FLESH!!!
MORE TRUTH:
His feet like fine brass burning in a furnace (Black)
His head and hair were white like woolD (Afro)
Voice like a roaring river (Black men have deep voices) A roaring river makes a deep noise!
THE BLACK MESSIAH LIVES!!!
Pingback: Survey Claims Christian Women Don’t Struggle With l**t: Yea Right! | Maya the B
Here we go again. The sanctified black female and her church. I truly wonder if you folks realize that the world is laughing at us.
If I had a nickel for every time a “baby daddy” machine jumped in my face and questioned if I go to church, a “so called” sanctified sister told me she could not date me because her minister and church was better than mine, or a sanctified fool told me I was dangerous or the devil, I would be Bill Gates.
And the suggestion that anger, selfishness, l**t are issues is ridiculous. The black church female is suffering with rejection from real black men. He does not want her and that is why so few go to church. Instead, the churches are full of “down low” brothers.
The sanctified church sister is struggling with being single because she has issues with black men that need to be addressed by mental health professionals.
The sancitified church sister is struggling with hiv infection because while she publically proclaims that she does not date and does not have s*x, she is “out there”.
Black or white we are all dasame befor him.
Interesting article, and point of view. I AM a Black Christian female, and I DO believe the principles of the church, HOWEVER, that being said, SOMEONE IS LYING on this survey. I am waiting for my husband b/c yes, I am supposed to, HOWEVER, taking into consideration the soaring HIV rate, the free love, and the DL phenomena that has taken taken hold of our communities, I am not looking to put myself at risk. That’s real. In addition to this, the issues that the ladies say they don’t deal with..if you are real with yourself, you DO deal with those and a whole host of other issues. The Christian life is not ALL joyous, ALL peaceful, ALL happy. I wish people would stop fronting and acting like l**t, envy, and selfishness don’t enter into the spirit. Paul the disciple CLEARLY states that the Christian life will be full of trials and tribulations and there are sins that are thorns in our sides. “I want to do what is good, but I can’t. I don’t do the good things I want to do. I keep on doing the evil things I don’t want to do. I do what I don’t want to do. But I am not really the one who is doing it. It is sin living in me.Here is the law I find working in me. When I want to do good, evil is right there with me”, Romans 7: 18-21
Some of the freakish whores that were ever born are Christian women, and that’s a fact. I once dated a Haitian bible thumper, that turned on gospel music, while we were having s*x. This is the reason why, we broke up. Can you imagine getting your groove on with your woman, and instead of shouting your name, she shouts “Jesus”, yes Jesus, yes?
Well, I am an Orthodox Christian woman, and while I do remain chaste in body and have been for many years, there is a constant struggle with l**t and envy in my thoughts! Lustful thoughts and Christian women? Why should that be a surprise to anyone? We are still humans with emotions, intellect, feelings, desires, just like anyone else. I don’t care what that survey say, I can tell with with absolutely certainty that many Christian women (of all denominations) who DO struggle with both l**t and envy regardless of what that survey says, but chances are they are ashamed to admit it. Why? Because they fear being judged for it, just as some comment makers here are doing. Yes, Christians can and do sin. Why? Because we are sinners who are in need of God’s love and mercy, and the Evil One is relentless in trying to trip us up each and every day of our lives! This is true whether one is a parishoner or a preacher or a Patriarch.
Anyone (Christian or not) who claims that they don’t ever sin or struggle with sins of any sort is either in denial, or is committing the sin of pride which is, in reality, the WORST of all sins, and all sins have pride at their foundation. This is corroborated by both Scripture as well as Holy Tradition.
Christ himself said we would have temptations and tribulations in this life. Being a Christian doesn’t make one immune to temptation to sin. Many of the greatest saints and people in the Bible struggled with temptations. St Augustine, St Mary of Egypt, Amma Sycletica, Amma Sarah and Abba Moses aka St Moses the Black all struggled with l**t, but overcame with God’s help, just as the rest of us can…and that is the key, turn first to God and not conform to the world and their ideas of “self” help! That is why the Scriptures teach us in Romans 12:2 ” Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is–his good, pleasing and perfect will.” It something we have to do 24/7/365 whether we feel like it or not. Only with God’s help can we overcome any sort of sin or weakness.
I will one more thing: I found it curious that so many of the comments left here referred to women as “whores” and “s***s.” In 2012? SERIOUSLY? Funny how people demand the ‘right’ to be s****l beings but yet persist in using such s*x negative phraseology in order to tear one person down in order to build themselves up. Christ didn’t use such words when dealing with people regardless of their sins…so why do people?
I read this article fully regarding the resemblance of latest and previous technologies, it’s remarkable article.
