Bible Note: "The injunction is based on the relationship of man and woman in the original creation (Gen. 2:18; 3:6)." 1) God made woman from the rib of a man, not the head that she should lord over him nor from the foot that she should be trodden on. 2) The same word that is used for woman ("helpmeet") is also used of God. One of the keys to proper interpretation of the Bible is to consider the whole and not just selected snippets. For example, the traditionalists will typically point to Gen 2:18 and 3:16 and yet completely ignore Gal. 3:28. |
