So why don't you stop your "contention"? John didn't write this post because he resolved all the issues including that of "Non male biased translators". "Male bias" is your prevailing strawman with which you and your buddies are "contending." You guys are trying to debunk "male bias" rather than reach the truth of the translations. Jane and Bushnell offer this as a cause of mistranslation...but the point is to
get the translation right. John had a few transactions with God himself, with God's word, and with his woman of Chayil. He also learned a little humility...
The point has always been the verses themselves...the 8 passages...not "male bias translators". The 8 passages of scripture discussed by Bushnell and Jane have been described by Jane as lemon translations which do not fit within the context of the message of the Bible itself. The result of these wrong teachings is John's testimony.
John has described the results in his own life, and his marriage, of the mistranslation of these verses...how he came to justify mistreating his wife and perpetuate that mistreatment in the lives of his sons...for which he has repented to Jane and his sons.
According to John's last word, humility is a factor in having a change of mind be heart. It would be a real travesty to continue to fight the wrong battle. You may have stated that you "support" John and Jane's "mission" but in fact, your post indicates that you don't even know what their mission is.
Read John's post 3 or 4 more times.
