Include now deflecting from the request/s of the Moderator to dial it down.

Evangelical provides very detailed and thoughtful responses, well researched, scriptural based, and patiently clarifies himself. The forum is lucky to have him.
It does not matter whether women or any other demographic group were involved in translating the bible. If there is an objection to the translation of a verse, resources are readily available to present a case.
Yet, there are many translations of the Bible into different languages and the translators are not all white male. Julia Smith translated the Bible from original languages into English. It is too broad of a brush to categorically dismiss verses mentioning women and submission as "lemons" That is not say that every verse is bias free, on the contrary some may be, so, I think visiting the original languages and manuscripts is a good approach and if Jane Anderson has a point of view then let's see it. I'm willing to hear her out on one or more of these "lemon"verses. 1 Timothy 2 is very instructive providing an explanation as to why (v14).
