Corrie

“Yes, Corrie, this is heresy, and possibly worse: blasphemy, because it puts man in the place of God. You’re right, “If God has made us in his image, we have returned him the favor.” (Voltaire) They have indeed fallen for the serpent’s lie, “you will be as God” (ironically, this is what they think only females have a weakness for).”

Oops! Is blasphemy worse than heresy? Here I thought I was trying to hold back with strong words!

They do forget that their mother was Eve and that Paul reminds Christ’s followers of this in 1 Corinthians and tells them to be careful that they are not deceived like their mother Eve.

It is not only girls who inherit things from their mothers, after all.

“But Grudem’s problem is that God and Eve share the same “ezer” label, and desperation is truly the reason he would go so far as to start with presumed female inferiority and end with divine inferiority.”

You are right and I am finally beginning to see the problem very clearly. Instead of searching for the Truth and being unafraid at what they find, they suppress the truth.

If God, as an ezer to mankind is mankind’s subordinate and inferior, then we are in a heap of trouble. Goddess worship is the least of our worries.
