1 | Was it like the Taliban? | 1 Pet 3:1 | joyduncan | 124627 | ||
Just this morning though I was reading in John 4 that Jesus' disciples were surprised to find him talking to a woman. That sounds a little indicative of general supression, don't you think? I do agree that Proverbs 31 and other passages may seem to give women more place, more standing in society. Proverbs 31 though was written hundreds of years before the NT. I guess there probably was quite a span in treatment of women to go along with the huge span of time that passed during the writing of the Bible. Thank you for the other references. I have also been told that there is an excellent book on this entire thread of converstaion called Slavery, Women and Homosexuality that I am going to have to check out. | ||||||

joyduncan John 4:27 And at this point His disciples came, and they marveled that He talked with a woman; yet no one said, "What do You seek?" or, "Why are You talking with her?" First single Jewish men did not speak to a single woman not because she was beneath them, remember there is not command in the scripture for woman to submit to man, the command pertains only to married couples. They did this because it could be mis-interrupted and they be accused of some indiscretion. So in fact this was done to protect BOTH their reputations. Secondly this woman was a Samaritan, Jews had no contact with Samaritans. Therefore the disciples were surprised by Jesus’ openly breaking that cultural barrier. EdB |
