Was Women's Submission Just a Curse to Be Overturned? Women in Ministry part 2 00:10:14 – 00:11:45

Egalitarian argument from Genesis 1

Mike quotes Mary Conway from 'Discovering Biblical Equality' (pp. 41-42) who notes that 'be fruitful,' 'multiply,' 'fill,' 'subdue,' and 'have dominion' are all plural imperatives in Hebrew, directed to both man and woman. She concludes there is nothing in Genesis 1 indicating subordination of women was part of Yahweh's original intention. Mike agrees with almost all of this.
