There are many other examples in the Bible, such as the Pharisees wanting everything to be orderly and proper in their own understanding. But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me.”Īnd Jesus answered and said to her,“Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things.But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her.” (Luke 10:38-42) Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house.And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus’feet and heard His word. She did not take into account the misery that would be brought to others, mainly in this situation her sister - she became hostile in her approach to the situation, requiring her sister to be taken away from the presence of God, so that she could conform to her prim and proper deluded expectations of what was right, which was to do the cooking etc instead. She was deceived into thinking her prim and proper mindset was a good thing, and right for everyone else. In her understanding she was ‘doing the right thing’. Martha was busy cooking, cleaning, preparing and such things as a woman is known to be diligent about. Why ? Because God is Omnipotent, Omnipresent and Omniscient meaning He has the full picture as to how, why, when and through whom things have to work out.Įxamples of Prim and Proper from the Bible: This mindset is a hindrance to the Lord’s plans. A prim and proper mindset does not belong to the unlimited Kingdom of God but to the restrictive mindset of the world. ![]() I am not "stuck-up" or anything, just a person who enjoys being proper and formal.Prim and Proper means resting in the comfort that things have to be done in a certain way or time subject to ones understanding, or because that is just the way things are or have always been. Everyone (well, not literally everyone) of my age uses such, lewd and vulgar vocabulary while I tend to use sophisticated terms and proper vocabulary and speak formal, addressing my family member by their formal names (mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, etc.). Yes, I am very prim and proper for someone who is of my age. ![]() No elbows on the table, especially if your elbow is big and takes up too much of my personal space! No bodily functions being mentioned of any kind, be it sexual or not, mentioned while I am eating! Belching and passing gas calls for an "excuse me" at all times. Other things unrelated to sex is that I cannot stand bad manners. Lewd, sexual jokes, especially ones having to do with me, are uncalled for, but I do not stop anyone from saying them (well, if it is about me then yes, I would like them to stop). It just sounds barbaric to me when people say that word. Saying "hump" is like saying people just met each other and the street and started to mate. For example, I dislike it when people say "hump" instead of "intercourse" or "love-making". ![]() I think I am a little bit too prim and proper.
