A Woman of Chayil: Far Above Rubies by Jane Carole Anderson

[Nell]

"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... ."

Following is another quote from "A Woman of Chayil..." The above quote is a reminder about the use of "lemons" and "grapes".

From this passage we note:

"...A general principle of Bible teaching is to teach what the Bible teaches or prescribes about behavior, and not to teach authoritatively about what can only be observed about behaviors of people in the Bible. I will not argue this point, but will say strongly that whatever is taught prescriptively should produce what is seen descriptively in the Bible. If a teaching produces something different than what the Bible illustrates or describes as proper behavior, it is unhealthy teaching and should be questioned and re-examined."
