Bible Note: Dear Rowdy, I am helping my son research a project for (Christian) high school on women's role in the church. I have printed out many of the things posted on the forum, in addition to many translations, commentaries, etc.. Many useful perspectives/viewpoints put forth in this forum. His teacher will grade him on how he went about his research and how that research helped create his interpretation, but will withhold his (teacher's) own interpretation of scripture until students have completed their projects. Freedom to think in the body of Christ--yeah! So, that's how I found this site. Now to my comment. I really appreciate your gracious responses to this subject and to those that have strongly disagreed with the way in which you have put things. Thank you for being a good (and much-needed at this moment in my life) example of Christ. No need to respond; likely I won't be back. (I never spend much time on the net and have gathered what I need for my son.) But thank you. And God bless you. rr |
