@carol66944 @5pur5y I appreciate your desire to see redemptive threads throughout Scripture, but I think your symbolic reading of Gen 3:16 stretches the text beyond what it actually says. Gen 3:16 is part of the consequences spoken to the woman afte...

@5pur5y FYI: The teaching that both genders were in Adam and God separated out the female gender is nowhere found in scripture. And that Jesus wasn't a male is also not anywhere inferred or stated in

@Paula_333 Well, Paula, I would like you to actually walk through and show where I am twisting scripture. This has nothing to do with what I like or don't like.

@Paula_333 The facts are that Paul's description links the time sequence order of creation with deception. So something about the order and how he prepared Adam to guard the garden ensured he wouldn't be deceived, whereas Eve being the last thing cre...

@Paula_333 Hm. If that's the case, why would Paul say that he was worried an entire church could be deceived like Eve? When I was growing up, I could much more easily get away with a lie with my dad than my mom. So even that experience seems to sugge...

@Paula_333 No, that's not it. Paul is clearly responding to things that the Corinthians wrote (see 1Co 7:1), but there are not quotation marks in the Greek manuscript, so you have to infer the quotes. 1Co 14:34-35 clearly stand out from the rest of t...

@Paula_333 Why shouldn't a woman teach truth to a man? Can men not handle truth coming from a woman? What is wrong with men that they can't stand to hear God's word and truth spoken by a woman?
