Charis,

Bless your heart, you are a real thinker! I love how you keep working to process this.

You aid: “What if the “she” is Eve/me/woman and the “they” who continue in faith….. are women future to Paul? (which would be faithful women of the past to me- in 2007)”

Let’s think this one through first before we go on to the rest of your post. I am multi-tasking here and should be working on my PowerPoint presentation. If I am off-line for a period of time, that’s why. It is hard not to keep coming back here to see the cool comments 🙂

So….you need to diagram this one out. How is it that you are the “she” but not also in the “they” category? Are you the only one in the “she” category? If there are more than one “she” then isn’t “she” actually “they” because it is now plural? Think this one through very carefully. Take a piece of paper and draw a line down the middle. Now put every single female that could be included in the “she” column on the left hand side. Now put “they” on the right hand side. Now put every body that could be included in the “they” column. When you are finished have a close look at the two columns? Are they similar at all?

Let me know and then we will move on.

By the way, you are so welcome here! I am so blessed to have wonderful Christian brothers and sisters who come here to share wisdom with me. We try hard not to call each other names or say anything that would shame Christ.
