Lin,

You are doing exactly what you need to do. Scripture is the key and it must be read in context and with the tools that will help you understand the original flavor of the words without the bias of any translators. I trust that the Holy Spirit will open your mind to understand and to be assured that you know that you know that you KNOW the truth! The truth will indeed set you free as you learn that God has not stifled his women “sons of God”. They are full heirs and important members of his body. What a wonderful journey you are on. I remember my journey as I sat with my bible and my Greek and Hebrew helps by my side. If is a precious thing when God’s word comes alive so that the verses are made clear in the complete context of the entire passage and the entire letter.

Blessings on your study!
Cheryl
