Jane,
Some have merely speculated that the “bumps” are Artemis are testicles, but they are not in the right place for those organs. 😉

The article that I linked so said that Artemis was the goddess of women’s concerns as well as the goddess of virginity. You will have to take up your disagreement with that author as their article is a master’s thesis on religious history of ancient Ephesus. If you want to let the author know that you know more about the subject of Artemis than Holly Hayes (the author) does, perhaps you can take it up with her.

and it wasn’t that ‘she is saved IF she has children’ but she won’t lose her salvation if she doesn’t appease Artemis…

My point is that 1 Timothy 2:15 has nothing whatsoever to do with Artemis and that Paul’s grammar would have to be different to make Artemis a part of verse 15.
