The Bible is very tough to interpet without reading it all the way through. The question is how reliable is the source. To this day I have yet to hear anyone question the Book of Revelation as truth. Yet in theory it was written in a "dream like" state. Yet when we reflect on those things that we don't like we begin to question the source. Let us look at the role in the woman in the Bible. Their roles in the old
testement and new testement seem so diffrent. The first person to be without sin in the bible was a woman (Mary) mother of Jesus! And when we look at certain lines in the bible let us remeber the context they are presented. Many of the New testement scriptures on Marriage and women were designed to keep the Church together. But let us remeber what Jesus said "render on to Ceaser what is Ceaser and the Lord what is the Lord" The relationships we have are for us to define but ultimatly it is the LORD that is the overseer of the house of marriage.
