You seem to be adamant in waging some sort of battle with those who can accept the concept of "biblical" obedience. I detect just a slight bit of bitterness against men (maybe for a valid reason). I find it amusing that it is such a shock to you that women can obey the word of God and find decent men to lead a fruitful life together with. When two people are not looking to find offense all the time or can see the relevance of some tradition in maintaining a happy home, they can indeed be happy.
To suggest that the King James Version has some transliteral errors is not enough to nullify the Truth of the Word. I own several tranlations down to the most exact from the original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic versions. While words and phrases are altered and updated, thematically, there is virtually little difference. So, I submit to you, your problem with the Bible and how it relates to women and relationships is that it doesn't jibe with your views of being that stereotypical "strong, independent, Black Woman" who doesn't need a man or relationship to validate her. I think many women have posted that that necessarily isn't the case and that a good man is not the enemy.

...once again...you are off the mark completely...i will just leave it at that...why have you resorted to attacking my personal character when all i have done is speak from a scholarly standpoint...barring PERSONAL opinion...from the standpoint of a male or female...i do pray that one day i am fortunate enough to meet my equal in the form of a man...i'm a undergraduate student two steps out of my mothers womb and too YOUNG...not too independent...to be married...i love men...have no problem with the male presence in the home...nor do i essentially have a problem with using the bible as a GUIDE for life...your remarks indicate that you have a problem with a woman being a valid, authoritative, interpretive source of biblical truths...if i am wrong...correct me...as a women needs to be put in her place...
