K. Liebens : “These examples are prevalent in biblical prose representative of an era where there was an established distortion of gender roles within a society captivated by generalised disobedience and evil.”
Cheryl has answered you well and I’ll not belabor the point except to give you my initial reaction to the statement you wrote above.
What magician’s hat did you pull this completely unsupportable concept?
Because you didn’t get it from the Bible. The Bible does not say anything about there being any distortion of gender roles in that era. Not one word. That concept came from the fertile imagination of a man (or men) who can’t deal with the idea of a strong woman in a leadership position.
Men have been attacking the concept and character of Deborah for hundreds of years. But their attacks are based on jealousy, not on rightly dividing the Word of truth.
