The Female in nature is not submissive. The female in nature is much more powerful than the male. It is the female who can bring forth life. It is the female who is the egg. The egg is the creative force in nature. The womb is the cycle that drives the force of nature. Men are reactive to these cycles, women are the creators. The female is the creator. The female, the earth, the solar system, the tides are all in communion, the male is merely reactive to theses things. The female is creation, nourishment, nurture and love. The male is force, competition, war and insecurity.

Galatians 3:26-29
For ye are all the children of God by faith in Christ Jesus.27 For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ.28 There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.29 And if ye be Christ's, then are ye Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Probably not literal enough for you right?
I've already said that we are not equal in body strength etc.But our brains are the same.
There have been many notable people with downs syndrome who have achieved wonderful things.

Do you think it will be important to her when she works on hers and my brakes ...whether her hair is covered or uncovered.?? I'm sorry....I meant talk her way through these repairs.
Also..I promise I will be sitting, silent, seperate and slack, in airconditioned comfort,cell phone in one hand and remote controller in the other, while she unsubmissively talks her way through these repairs.

It is also saying that we as believers are "One" in Christ...not human values and thinking. We are one in Christ.....This verse is about being one in Christ and heirs to the promise made way back in the Olde Testament to Abraham not in Human equality or belief systems.
The "tone" of my last post comes from 25 years experience of raising three kids in a secure, safe environment after watching their father throw his life away on alcohol and gambling.
I read the bible too and what I see is there is a huge difference between what Jesus taught and what Pauls writings teach. Its like the New Testament has two mutually contradicting points of view.
Once I realized that then its easy to follow Jesus and let the church following Paul go.
passage from Judges 11:31
“… whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house (Jephthah’s house) to meet me,… shall surely be the Lord’s …and I will offer it up for a burnt offering. V.34…and Jephthah came…unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him… v.39…and it came to pass… that her father… did with her according to his vow…”.
In other words he sacrificed his daughter
The quote itself says that all are equal,no matter their sex,their religion or their origin

I should have guessed.. Woman are immune to these problems, right? Men are guilty of so many things through this same kind of chip on your shoulder type logic . This is the snapshot of men from your perspective. It makes sense to me now where your coming from.
I also understand where yankeerose is coming from. She has yet to let go of the anger and understandably so. I read her story and thought "My god, that was me."
