Nell, its not working. There is no hatred of Evangelical toward Jane. Disagreement is not hatred.
Yet your enmity argument cuts both ways.... and it is not a stretch that the serpent is once again deceiving by the tried and true method of questioning God's Word...."hath God said...?"
In my opinion, the whole Satanic lemon verses line of attack is a very dangerous path to head down. Alarms go off. I'm just glad that someone cares enough about Jane to challenge her teaching in this forum. Not easy to do and it shows care on his part, not hatred. Still, if you think that Jane's argument is reasonable and convincing then you could, like I suggested to John, post her Satanic lemon verses teaching in a bible based forum where Jane and her history are not known. Remove that variable. That would be one way of validating the soundness or not of her teaching on their own merits.

I'm not saying it's right, of course it's not. But it's hard to hate, or love for that matter, Jane if Jane is not here to hate.
And we can't hate sister Nell. She's just a innocent shill for Jane. Plus, watch out. She's got woman power.
Back to God's word to Women. I'm reading it. Bushnell seems to be well informed and smart. But I question some of her premises and assumptions. That is, maybe, if I understand her. Maybe the Holy Spirit is just not revealing it to me.
Take this statement :
"A candid acceptance of the testimony as to its history proves that the original text has been preserved in manuscripts with scarcely an important change."
That just isn't true. But maybe it could be for the women verses she's focused upon. Maybe they're all the same in all the manuscripts, all the way back to the 2nd century. I don't know. Maybe Bushnell will explain it further into her book. I'll see.
Or maybe John can fill us in. Her and Jane's book changed his life, he says -- is he Janes' husband -- and so maybe he can help. All books require commentaries and footnotes ... even the Bible ... or especially the Bible. Witness Lee taught us that.
