Re: A Woman of Chayil: Far Above Rubies by Jane Carole Anderson
micah6v8,
There's a good reason why Evangelical came to the conclusion he presented below. Here it is:
"IN THE BIBLE, THERE ARE A SMALL NUMBER OF FAMILIAR PASSAGES that are at the root of wrong beliefs about women and authority. These few verses exist like one bunch of “lemons” hanging on a grapevine in a Biblical vineyard laden with many “grapes.”
Satan is behind the production of these lemon translations, translations which have adulterated and corrupted the real meanings of God’s words. All of these passages are fundamentally about authority and, in particular, about women and authority. It is time for men and women alike to stand up and speak the truth as Paul did when he said:
1 Therefore, since we have this ministry, as we received mercy, we do not lose heart, 2 but we have renounced the things hidden because of shame, not walking in craftiness or adulterating the word of God, but by the manifestation of truth commending ourselves to every man's conscience in the sight of God. (2 Cor. 4:1–2, NASB)
There is one big lemon translation in the Old Testament: Genesis 3:16. There are seven lemon translations in the New Testament: 1st Corinthians 11:2–16; 1st Corinthians 14:29–40, Ephesians 5:22–24, Colossians 3:18, 1st Timothy 2:8–15, Titus 2:3–5, and 1st Peter 3:1–2."
I'm quoting from Chapter 2 of A Woman of Chayil: Far Above Rubies with Jane's permission.
