“I have had the same questions in my mind. When I read what they write about the origin of the female and God’s intention for her and her “punishment” I think how difficult it would be for them not to look down on their women in some way. I am just glad I am not married to a man who thinks these thoughts. I think it would be deeply troubling personally to me.”

I am writing from personal experience so please do not think I am being uncharitable. I am only speaking what I saw. If these couples make a living in ministry, these types of sermons, books, conferences are huge money makers for them. It also keeps them in the right circles to further their income. If they dared to change their minds on any of it, much income would dry up and they may even be in danger of losing their jobs as they would be labeled as liberals. It is in their best interest to further these bizarre doctrines about women and men. It sells. People love roles, rules and formulas. It is easier to read a book and follow it than it is to follow Christ.

But, I have a question that I saw someone pose on another blog that has just intrigued me for days. If they really believe these gender roles and in biblical womanhood and separate the two so much in all terms, even spiritual, then how can women be Christlike since Christ came in human male form?
