That I agree with whole heatedly. Sometimes sorting out our past, the world around and the influences that have put us all together is a bit of a roller coaster.

There is a verse in Genesis 3 where God warns Eve that, "he will rule over you", or one translation is, "Your turning will be toward him". This oppression of his and obsession of hers has been a formula for abuse, slavery and destruction for most of history.

Not until Jesus did any woman sit at the foot of a Rabbi to learn, nor until the early church did many women, that did not rise through their father's or husband's power, take much of a positions of leadership. Though eventually the church returned to it's male and power dominating pattern, it was truly the beginning of hope for women and slaves.

Thanks for sharing that Jane. I think I'm going to mull on that a long while. Thanks for being a rebel. !T!
