“I am also glad to hear that you do not see Gen 3:16 as positive. If this is your’s and gengwell’s view, why is it you never say anything to combat Cheryl when she does say it is positive?”

I have stated on this blog that I do not see exactly eye to eye with many here regarding “desire”, (or, for that matter, submission in Eph 5), but there has seldom been an occassion where a detailed debate of that specific topic has been appropriate. Cheryl focuses mainly on women in ministry and not marriage, so I try to remain as topic appropriate as possible. This may be that thread, but ironically, your dissertation has taken the discussion away from a scrutinizing look at vs. 16b. That’s fine with me if it’s fine with Cheryl. In reality, I have said about as much as I would have otherwise said simply by agreeing with your singular point on vs. 16b. I know I am in the minority, and welcome a dialog about both “desire” and “rule”, but am just as comfortable letting the conversation go where it may. Sooner or later, it will become a specific point of discussion on my blog, which is when and where I intend to exert the majority of my energy.
