Hi TL,
@165

“To say that the whole church got it wrong for two thousand years about something so ethically important is a big claim.”
This is not really a valid concern.

I agree that this argument carries little weight. Many individuals, groups, denominations, if not all Christians for varying amounts of time throughout history have got some pretty important issues wrong.
Am I correct in thinking that it is only fairly recently (in terms of 2000 years) that Christians have generally been willing to at least say that women are not inferior to men- that they are equal in value? Haven’t they generally been thought of as more easily deceived? Yet I don’t think Mark would say that women are inferior and that they are more easily deceived.
I think there would be things taught at Moore Theological College (where I think Mark studied) that have only been really accepted within the last few centuries if not less.
