Sorry if you read it that way, but I did not attack your personal character in any way. I also do not have a problem with a woman being a valid, authoritative, interpretive source of Biblical truths (is this what you claim to be?) I have pointed out how Shalom and others have correctly interpreted the passage. My only problem is with ANYONE, male or female, who redefines the Bible to fit their individual political goals. In this way, they become their own personal god and relegate The Word to secondary status to their secular humanism.
I will correct you on this also. I never even intimated that a woman needs to be "put or kept in her place". The question revolved around the accurate rendering of a theological question. You view my posts in a classic feminist defensive posture. Because I disagree does not make it a personal attack. Because I disagree does not mean that I want to disenfranchise women. Because I point out how you would like to re-word phrases of the bible that offend your feminist sensibilities does not mean that women are incapable of interpreting the Bible correctly.
Lastly, I would not attack you personally over minor philosophical disagreements. It aint that deep. Peace.
