“I also like Sue’s question on the issue of God’s “design” for women. Where in the creation account will be see a “design” that places a woman created to be a follower and created to be in submission and under the authority to a man?”

This is a big problem for them. For a long time it was taught that the fall was the “design” so to speak. Eve was blamed and that was that. Partriarchy was God’s design. As folks became more biblically astute and that would no longer fly because it was basically teaching that the sin of the fall is virtue for a women… they changed it to created order being the design. Nevermind that patriarchy is one of the sins resulting from the fall and no where do we see God saying that one flesh union is NOT really a one flesh union. But there is one flesh in that union gets a bigger portion of something in order to be the boss…portion of what we do not know. It seems to thought it has to do with simply being born male.

But seriously, wouldn’t it be grand to be able to tell folks it is their Christian duty to overlook your imperfections so you could just go on being whatever sort of jerk you want to be? Actually, it is not grand at all but a HUGE sin trap.
