Cheryl,

I think i will leave the previous discussion alone now since you are insistent on thinking i’m a liberal, and am not willing to tell me which of Jesus words in the gospel are his direct actual words.

By the way i don’t see contradictions in the bible, i see contradictions in your view. Please also think about what is historical genre and what is not- this might help solve the issue.

I have no problem with the spirit giving rememberence to the gospel writers, i just keep in mind the intended audience and purpose, therefore we can understand the structure, arrangement and whihc of Jesus miracles, words etc that particular gospel writer is using. Do i think that they say things Jesus didn’t say, of course not- so don’t think i think this.

Since you are so quick to ignore ANE context and the contexts and prupose of the gospel writers i’ll assume you will abandon your opinion on 1 Cor 14 where you rely heavily on the cultural talmud?

I’ll send the email soon.

Cheerios

P.S I would really like you to tell me what you see as male headship? Or at least direct me to somewhere on this blog where you talk about it directly
