In the second episode, Dr. Mimi Haddad meets with Rev. Dr. Aída Besançon Spencer to explore key ways Scripture goes against the grain of culture. While some scholars uphold Bible cultural as the moral standard, Aída encouraged readers to begin in the New Testament. For example, in the story of Martha and Mary (Luke 10:38-42), Martha was anxious that Mary would help her serve the disciples a meal. But Jesus said, “Martha, Martha … You are worried and upset about many things, but few things are needed—or indeed only one. Mary has chosen what is better, and it will not be taken away from her.” Jesus reversed women's priorities from domestic spheres to theological spheres: learn God's truth. Paul also said, in 1 Tim 2:11, “A woman should learn in quietness (silence) and full submission.” Insisting on women's silence was/is a to call women to learn as the theological scholars (Rabbis) did at the time of Christ, in silence—with rapt focus. Aída believes we need more scholarly reflection on women and silence in Scripture. Aída ends with a warning to always view people as created in God's image and considers passages also embrace the shared dignity and agency of women. Reflecting on the marginalization for Native Americans who were accused of and punished for alleged idol worship, by white colonizes who believed they were given the US given as theocracy, Aída and her husband William David Spencer address both topic in a powerful article titled, Calling on God or Colonial Oppression. Aída addresses the leadership of women in the early church, with a focus on context. Whereas women's leadership in Ephesus was different from women in other contexts, like women planting churches like Lydia in Greece. Aída ends by reflecting on Helen Barrett Montgomery (1861-1934) was elected the first president of national Woman's American Baptist Foreign Mission Society. She was also elected the first president (and woman) of an American denomination, the Northern Baptist Convention in 1920. She's also the first woman to translate the New Testament in 1924. Her translation of Roman 16:1-3—interpreted Pheobe as a “minister” and “overseer,” yet it has taken so very long for other translators to see the same biblical truth (in 1843). Barrett Montgonery's The New Testament in Modern English was republished in 1952, and translated Romans 16:1-2: “I commend to you our sister Phoebe, who is a minister of the church at Cenchreae. I beg you to give her a Christian welcome, as the saints should, and to assist her in any matter in which she may have need of you. for she herself has been made an overseer to many people, including myself.” Prostateo, the verb meaning to be leader or ruler of, hold office, authority for providing, regent (Liddell & Scott's classical dictionary).

In the first episode, host Dr. Mimi Haddad meets with Rev. Dr. Aída Besançon Spencer to discuss Bible translation. Aída considers the different goals of translation teams from translations focused on a word for word translation; to meaning for meaning; to thought for thought and those that are a paraphrase. Each translation team from the NRSV, to the NIV, KJV and the ESV elevate their priorities in ways that are often helpful. In addressing the complexities of Bible translation, Aída gave the following helpful insight. She said: Translators are caught between rendering Form vs. meaning. A “formal translation”/formal-equivalence/literal/word for word/linguistic= Translation tries to preserve form (syntax and sentence structure) of the original to convey meaning. The emphasis is the original text, E.g. NRSV, NAS. It Allows the reader to interpret. A “dynamic-equivalence”/functional-equivalence/cultural =Translation expresses the original meaning in the natural form of the receptor language. The receptor language is emphasized. Translators seek equivalence in meaning or thought for thought translation, E.g., TEV, NEB. It does more interpretation for readers. A “paraphrase”=A freely rendered restatement (of another translation) of the author's thoughts in different words. But it is not a commentary, e.g. Living Bible, The Message. Aída cited those who contribute to the ESV team, noting their commitment to male-authority. She also expressed her preference for the NRSV assessing how the different translations render the crucial text 1 Tim 2:4–5—as it explains the work of Christ. She said: “who desires all people (anthrōpōs) to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and there is one mediator between God and men (anthrōpōs), the man (anthrōpōs) Christ Jesus,” ESV “who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus,” NIV “who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God, and one mediator also between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, (NASB) “Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus” (KJV) “who desires everyone to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God; there is also one mediator between God and humankind, Christ Jesus, himself human, (NRSVupdated)+ CEB “God wants everyone to be saved and to know the whole truth, which is, There is only one God, and Christ Jesus is the only one who can bring us to God. Jesus was truly human. (CEV)-a dynamic equivalent “Our Creator longs to set all people free and guide them into the full understanding of the truth. For there is only one Great Spirit, and only one who can bring the Great Spirit and human beings together in peace. That one is Creator Sets Free (Jesus) the Chosen One, who is himself human.” (First Nations Version) “Our Savior God wants all humans to be saved and to come into knowledge of truth. For God is one, one is also a mediator between God and humans, human Christ Jesus, the One having given himself as a ransom on behalf of all” (ABS). 1 Timothy NCCS ABS 48-51 For clarity on confusing passages that seem to diminish the dignity, value and agency of women or minorities, Aída recommends Bible translation teams comprised of men and women who do not unite in their preference for male-leadership as the ESV translation team does. Aída also celebrated the diversity of opinion on the NIV translation team which is led by expert Bible translators who differ on their view on women's leadership. It's always better to move beyond a single narrative on key issues. Aída discussed the NT and OT texts that challenge 3 New Testament passages (1 Tim. 2:11-15; Eph. 5:21-23) which routinely eclipse the many passages that demonstrate women's leadership, like Acts 2:2-21; Gal. 3:28 and passages that demonstrate the leadership of Huldah and Deborah. Aída ends by emphasizing the oneness of man and woman, cited in Genesis 1:26-30 as both were called to rule over the world together, in a world without sin. Paul picks this up in Galatians 3:28, we are clothed in Christ—a purple robe, our true identity. In considering marriage, specifically in Eph. 5. Aída explained that Ephesians 5:18-21 is one sentence in Greek, with 2 main ideas: “And do not get yourself intoxicated with an intoxicating substance, in which is wild living, but be filled with the Spirit. What does it mean to be filled with the Spirit? Paul then uses 5 participles to describe what it means to be filled with the Spirit: “speaking to one another in psalm and hymns and spiritual songs, Singing Making melody in your heart to the Lord Thanking always for all in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to Father- God Submitting yourselves to one another in fear/respect of Christ.” Verse 22 has no verb in the best Greek manuscripts: “the women…to own husbands as to the Lord…” Aída will return next month to address Bible translation as it has been used to further abuse and ethnic prejudice rather than human flourishing.

What if the conventional limitations placed on women in the church aren't really Biblical at all? Today's guest, Julie Zine Coleman, reveals the accurate ways to interpret scriptures about a woman's role as she serves God. When correctly understood, Scripture actually teaches freedom for women. Expert Bible teacher Julie Zine Coleman will take us through and offer a fresh, truly Scriptural perspective. It's time to set women free to answer God's call on their lives—and set the church free to function in the way God truly desires. Julie grew up in a strict church environment, where many restrictions were placed upon women with regard to ministry. When she married her husband, who had a more egalitarian view, he asked her to remove the word "obey" from their wedding vows. Julie reacted with indignance because she thought it might be unbiblical at the time, but later expanded her view of how scripture outlines gender roles. Coleman was later asked to serve on her church's teaching team and taught sermons, but she felt a compelling need to examine the scriptures often interpreted as prohibiting women from speaking or teaching in church. She did not pursue the study to contend with anyone, but sought the truth because she didn't want to disobey God by teaching. When Julie offered to share what she discovered about women's roles in scripture, attendance doubled at that service. Coleman saw how many women were hurt and began to leave the church. Even more disturbing were the numbers of women who also turned away from God because of how they had been treated in church. Julie felt led to write her book to help those who were losing their faith due to a misunderstanding of scripture. Though she prefers to avoid conflict and controversy, she felt compelled to help the women who had been wounded by the misuse of scriptures that were taken out of context. Julie emphasizes speaking the truth in love. She encourages having respectful conversations with those with different viewpoints. Coleman clarifies that she is not speaking against any particular group, but simply wants to request all Christians to take another look at scripture. For those who feel called to ministry, Coleman advises the following steps: Prepare. Seek education and training. Wait. When you're obedient by investing time and experience in preparation, God will open doors at the right time. Seek God's direction. Connect with those already involved in ministry. If experiencing setbacks or difficulties after pursuing a call to ministry, don't assume it's because you're doing something wrong or God is displeased with you. Tests and trials can grow us for leadership. Ask what you can learn from the trial. We discuss the battles to expect when pursuing a call to ministry. Coleman encourages us to be aware of spiritual warfare but also to remember that God is greater and keep it in perspective. Women in ministry can find community and support on podcasts like Come to the Table, Facebook groups, or organizations like Christians for Biblical Equality. Julie closes with the encouragement that God has made us unique and God is calling us to share with those around us. Whatever he is calling you to do, take steps and do it. God didn't limit half of the church. If we were designed to walk on two legs and we're trying to walk on only one, we're not operating according to God's design. Connect with Julie Z.

I am very excited to introduce you to our guest today: Kat Armas. Kat holds a Mdiv and MAT from Fuller Theological Seminary. She is the host of the Protagonistas podcast, where she highlights stories of everyday women of color. She has written for Christianity Today, Sojourners, Relevant, Christians for Biblical Equality, Fuller Youth Institute, and Missio Alliance. She also speaks regularly on race and justice. Kat wrote a book called “Abuelita Faith: What Women on the Margins Teach Us About Wisdom, Persistence, and Strength.” I read it and have been going through it chapter by chapter with a class at our church this fall. It has been challenging for me in so many good ways. Kat's writing has reminded me to be aware of the lenses through which I view Scripture, and to do my best to read Scripture in a way that honors the whole the story — not just the parts with which I am familiar or most comfortable. Throughout her research and writing, Kat also reminds us that God lifts up women to be world-changers and culture-shapers. We see this in Scripture, in the lives of women throughout history, and in the lives of women today. To connect with Kat, you can find her on instagram @kat_armas or on her website katarmas.com. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/carly-bartlett/support

We share some personal anecdotes of being judged when we didn't fit into the "traditional gender role" categories.

Dr. Tau Braun is a U.S. National EMS & Counterterrorism Advisor & Trainer. In this episode he explains what is coming in the fall from the jabs. In his warning, he tells us that venoms are tied to the injury of the jabs and the spike protein is sugar coated, acting as an impostor to deceive it as food, causing the immune system to attack itself leading to autoimmune disorders. Among this alarming information, in his own words he tell us, "This is the largest mass killing to date in our generation". His message of hope and call to action is that we have to bring people together, we can't allow this evil to go unnoticed and there are things we can do for Covid-19.

His message of hope is, "Just because you are vaccinated, it's not the end of the world, don't fear". For more information about Steven Ben-Nun and his podcast, go to israelinewslive.org.
This episode we have the privilege of talking with Dr. Camden Morgante about the backlash of purity culture in religious settings and in broader culture as a whole. We explore the history of how "purity culture" developed and gained influence, some of the myths associated with it, the unsexy nature of the obligation sex message, and how some peoples bodies can hold trauma from the messages that come from purity culture. While largely unintended, there has been a lot of fallout and harm that has come as a result of this movement. It is beyond time for a reckoning. Many of the tenets of purity culture have produced rotten fruit, and we have the chance to begin repairing the damage, and recalibrating ourselves to a holistically healthy view of sexuality. | Dr. Camden Morgante is a licensed clinical psychologist and former college professor.

1 Corinthians 11:4-6 is a quotation of other people's words. Paul then refutes them.1 Corinthians 14:34-35 is another quotation of other people's words.

She has written for a number of popular outlets including Christianity Today, Sojourners, Relevant, Christians for Biblical Equality, Fuller Youth Institute, and Missio Alliance.

Have you read Chapter 1 and its Study Guide in The Book of Eden, Genesis 2-3? It is taken from this very first Episode of The Eden Podcast.Dr.Joy Fleming cleared away the translation errors contained in our modern language versions. She shows God didn't curse Eve at all. Two words God said in Line 1 of 3:16 linked her with God's words to the man and to the serpent tempter.The link to the man came in the third Hebrew word: 'itsabon, or "sorrowful-toil." This same word God spoke to the man in verse 17. When God cursed the ground because of the man, both the woman and the man would have sorrowful toil in working the cursed ground with their hands. This was a word about fieldwork. It had nothing to do with childbirth even though the wording on modern Bibles in English and other languages make it look like God was speaking to her about childbirth.The link to the serpent tempter came in the fourth Hebrew word: heron or "conception," or "pregnancy." This word referred back to verse 15 where God told the serpent tempter the "seed" or "offspring" of the woman would crush his head. God's promise of Messiah was contained in verses 15-16. (This is called the protevangelium or the first announcement of the Good News. It came as a judgment to the serpent tempter and as a promise to the woman he attacked and who had denounced him before God.)Are you encouraged by the true message of Genesis 3:16? This word needs to get out! Bible versions need to be corrected in 3:16 and related passages.Here's how you can play an important part in spreading the Tru316 Message!
I spoke with Gillian Townsley about queer reading across 1 Corinthians 11:2-16. We talk about attending to the ideology of reception and how reading across helps us move beyond the 'tired old debates'. I ask about how the work of Monique Wittig shapes her project (specifically about bringing men/masculinity back into focus). We also discuss her analysis of the Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood and Christians for Biblical Equality and how supposedly oppositional movements are bound by heteronormativity. We end by discussing the unique form/formatting of chapter 6 which involves two distinct thinkers battling for page space. Buy the Book Gillian Townsley is a Secondary School Teacher and Chaplain, and a Teaching Fellow at The University of Otago in New Zealand. Townsley has contributed essays to Bible Trouble: Queer Reading at the Boundaries of Biblical Scholarship (Society of Biblical Literature), Pieces of Ease and Grace (ATF), and Sexuality, Ideology, and the Bible: Antipodean Engagements (Sheffield Phoenix).

Frank Schaeffer In Conversation with Beth Allison Barr, author of The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women Became Gospel Truth_____LINKShttps://twitter.com/bethallisonbarr_____Biblical womanhood—the belief that God designed women to be submissive wives, virtuous mothers, and joyful homemakers—pervades North American Christianity. From choices about careers to roles in local churches to relationship dynamics, this belief shapes the everyday lives of evangelical women. Yet biblical womanhood isn't biblical, says Baylor University historian Beth Allison Barr. It was born in a series of clearly definable historical moments.This book moves the conversation about biblical womanhood beyond Greek grammar and into the realm of church history—ancient, medieval, and modern—to show that this belief is not divinely ordained but a product of human civilization that continues to creep into the church. Barr's historical insights provide context for contemporary teachings about women's roles in the church and help move the conversation forward.Interweaving her story as a Baptist pastor's wife, Barr sheds light on the #ChurchToo movement and abuse scandals in Southern Baptist circles and the broader evangelical world, helping readers understand why biblical womanhood is more about human power structures than the message of Christ._____Beth Allison Barr (PhD, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill) is associate professor of history and associate dean of the Graduate School at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, where she specializes in medieval history, women's history, and church history.

When the man and the woman ate the forbidden fruit in the Garden of Eden they died. They knew evil. Their bodies were mortal.God addressed the man in the Garden of Eden in the same pattern as the serpent tempter! "Because you." "Cursed is." "All the days of your life." And more.But God didn't change the man's body with a curse. Just as God didn't change the woman's body. What loving grace on God's part!In Genesis 3:17-19 God rebuked the man with great precision and pointed to just whose voice he was supposed to be listening to. The man had heard three voices: God's voice, the serpent's voice and the woman's voice. He was judged for disobeying God's voice. The penalty for eating the forbidden fruit was death! Did the man return to God's ways? Genesis 3:10 reveals that he did not. Instead he took the name Adam - human being - for himself. He named the woman in the way he had named the animals in Genesis 2 when he rued over them.The result of all of this? God drives the man out of the Garden and away from the Tree of Life.GO DEEPER
Growing up as an Evangelical Christian, I never could imagine that some of the teachings or theology that I was being taught could possible be harmful or damaging. As an adult, I see now that not all teachings are good, just because they might be labeled “Christian”. Many Christian churches and communities have fostered toxic environments and now, there are many, many men and women trying to work through those teachings via some form of faith deconstruction.When I started my own deconstruction, I didn't have trusted guides and the disorientation of it all almost cost me my faith entirely. Luckily, there are wonderful counselors, leaders, and coaches who are helping people walk through deconstruction so that they don't have to give up all the beliefs that have served them well. Our guest this week is Dr. Camden Morgante and she is one of those trusted voices that is helping many safely navigate the deconstruction of toxic Christian cultures. Join us this week and we talk about some of those harmful teachings. ABOUT OUR GUEST:Dr. Camden Morgante is a licensed clinical psychologist and adjunct college professor. She writes and speaks about Christianity, psychology, and gender equality and is a regular contributor to Christians for Biblical Equality's blog Mutuality. She is currently writing a book on the myths of purity culture. Camden also provides Coaching services for purity culture recovery, egalitarianism, and faith reconstruction. Camden lives in Knoxville, TN with her husband, their daughter and two rescue dogs.Books Dr. Camden mentioned:"The Making of Biblical Womanhood" - https://amzn.to/3CdI2Af"Every Moment Holy" -- https://amzn.to/3Dh5cXB"To Light Their Way" - https://amzn.to/3Du87g1Other books helpful with deconstruction:"Faith After Doubt" by Brian McLaren -- https://amzn.to/3n97O4h"Faith Unraveled" by Rachel Held Evans -- https://amzn.to/3Fcc35kGod And My Girlfriends Ministries A non-profit ministry helping women flourish in their relationships with God and others.

God's 11 Hebrew words to the woman in Genesis 3:16.According to the research of Dr. Joy Fleming, here are the 11 Hebrew words God spoke to the woman in Eden in Genesis 3:16.In spite what you read in the mistranslations into modern languages of the four Hebrew words in Line 1 of Genesis 3:16, God does not talk about childbirth at all in Line 1 of Genesis 3:16. God takes action for the woman (Words 1 and 2, "Multiplying, I-will-multiply") related to the man and related to the serpent tempter. The Hebrew of Line 1 is formed as a linchpin. Word 3, 'itsabon, links down to the "sorrowful-toil" that will result when God curses the ground because of the man (verse 17). And Word 4, heron, links back up to the woman's "seed" or "offspring" who will crush the attacker's head! In Lines 2-4, God explains to the woman what life is and will be like as a result of the attack and their responses.In Line 2, Word 5, 'etsev, is not the same word as 'itsabon in Line 1. It means "effort." Word 6 is good news "you-will-have-children."In Line 3, teshuqah does not mean an evil desire or turning. Like in Song of Solomon 7:10 it simply means "affection" between two lovers. The occurrence of the word in Genesis 4:7 is not relevant, where it is out of the literary context of Genesis 2:4-3:not even about two humans. God looks into her heart and confirms that even after the attack by the serpent tempter her affection/desire is for her husband. This will stand in stark contrast with the man's desire in Line 4.In Line 4, the woman is warned that the man, the one who rejected God's word and rule and decided to follow Satan and rule over himself, this man desires to usurp God's rightful rule over, mashal, the woman. He wants to rule over her too! Many teach somehow that God told the man to rule over her, and by extension all men to rule over all women. This is not correct! This is fanciful myth-making and sounds like the pagan stories.In Genesis 2-3, and especially in 3:16, God did not curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way!Bruce C. E. FlemingGO DEEPER
Episode 176 - Marriage In The Middle With Dorothy Greco Episode sponsored by DiverseChurchJobs.com Are midlife marriages destined to descend into endless crises, distance, and unhappiness? Contrary to the current cultural narrative, no! Marriage in the Middle normalizes the challenges and surprises of this time frame and then comes alongside couples to help them thrive. Through story, Scripture, and hard-won wisdom, Dorothy Greco offers readers and listeners hope that midlife can be a season of recalibrating, shoring up vulnerabilities, and imagining new ways to create a mutually fulfilling marriage. Dorothy joins our host, Christopher J Harris, for an incredibly warming and insightful discussion on marriage in general and then marriages who are seasoned specifically. This conversation will leave you with that sense that you just saw down with your best friend, a counselor/therapists, and a Pastor all at the same time...well...because you did. You'll smile...you'll laugh...but you may get a little misty-eyed...and you'll want to take notes as well. Since graduating from Boston University in 1983, Dorothy has been working as a photographer, author, writer, and speaker. She feels equally at home speaking in front of hundreds or standing behind her camera without saying a word. Her words and images offer hope and encouragement to those longing for healing, reconciliation, and joy. Dorothy's writing has been featured in Christianity Today, Missio Alliance, MOPs, Relevant Magazine, Christians for Biblical Equality, The Mudroom, Sojourners, Biola Center for Marriage and Family, Christine Cain's Propel for Women, Perennial Generation, Patheos, and The Englewood Review of Books.

I asked author, speaker, photojournalist, Dorothy Littell Greco, why she began writing and speaking about marriage and I got the right answer: her own marriage had been challenging and hard! Dorothy was quick to say that she and her husband of 30 years, Christopher, recognized they were seriously stuck and if their marriage was going to succeed, they needed to step back, examine what was really going on, and get some help. As a result, they learned how to pour into their own marriage to make it flourish after struggling for their first 10 years. Most people don't wait 10 years, they just jump ship and look for the next cruise to pick them up and meet all their expectations. Listen today and be encouraged to not give up on your marriage, as well as live a life paying attention to and serving the world around you. You may not need this message but you know someone who does. Sharing it with them could help them begin to "get un-stuck"—Dorothy says it's possible and that may be all the encouragement they need.

Friends! You're in for a treat today as we jump into a powerful discussion with my new friend, the brilliant Dr. Beth Allison Barr. Beth is an associate professor of history and associate dean of the Graduate School at Baylor University in Waco, Texas, where she specializes in medieval history, women's history, and church history. She is the president of the Conference on Faith and History and is a member of Christians for Biblical Equality. And she has serious credentials, having written for Christianity Today, the Washington Post, and Religion News Service, and is a regular contributor to The Anxious Bench, the popular Patheos website on Christian history. Beth joins me on the show today to talk about her latest book, The Making of Biblical Womanhood, and the importance of knowing the history of what women have been through. We also dive into the importance of understanding the context and culture of the day when reading the Bible, and the cost of the reformation for evangelical women. Listen to learn more about: How to become more biblically literate by approaching the Bible with contextual understanding of the day when it was written What the Reformation cost women in terms of opportunities and society norms Why it's important to understand our history even in religious contexts Junea, the first female apostle, and how she was written out of the Bible. Favorite quotes: Biblical womanhood is one of the most recent manifestations of the patriarchy. I think the cost of the reformation for evengelacial women is that it made only one right way for us to be Godly. And that was to be married with children under the authority of our husbands. Culture shapes the way we view women and men in a way that women and men are not shaped in the Bible. There was a wage gap in the medieval world. Women made about 71 cents to the dollar, if we put it in modern terms. And here we are in the 21st century and women make about 75 cents to the dollar compared with men for doing the same jobs. I think that is a very powerful example of something going on in which women's work is not valued in the same way as men. That women are seen as not as not quite as good as men around them. In this episode I answer this question: I know my fear of failure is holding me back, how do I put myself out there even though I'm scared to make mistakes? (46:10) Great things we discussed: 1. Beth Allison Barr on Twitter 2. The Making Of Biblical Womanhood 3. Bon Jovi 4. Loki 5. Summersalt 6. Coach School 7. Standing Strong Hope you loved this episode!

Equality is an incredibly important idea in contemporary society, and it's something that Grace-Elleda and Timothy have looked at the particulars of over the last couple weeks. Now, hear them assess the claims of critical theory - one of the predominant notions of equality today - against Biblical equality. Is critical theory a valid approach to equality and justice for Christians? Intro/Outro music by Cooper Cannell
To understand Genesis 3:16 we must recognize that in God's first words to the woman in Line 1 God didn't even touch on the subject of childbirth. (1) God spoke to her about shared sorrowful-toil (the Hebrew word is ‘itsebon) in field work and (2) God spoke to her about conception or pregnancy (the Hebrew word is heron) and especially of the offspring who would bruise Satan's head.The way the words are put together in a chiasm in Genesis chapters 2 and 3 carries meaning. And the way verses 15-17 are linked together in a linchpin construction by the two key words in Line 1 of Genesis 3:16 brings meaning. But the meaning of each word itself is also important.In the two words of the linchpin construction that link God's words to her with God's words to the man and to the serpent the woman learns two things. Neither of them is a curse on her. One thing is about bad news. One thing is about good news.The bad news she learns is that when God curses the ground because of the man it will affect her too. They both will experience ‘itsebon or “sorrowful toil” as they do field work to raise food from the cursed ground outside of Eden. God knows they will be going there and what life there will be like. So God describes to her what her experience will be like with the cursed ground. She will have ‘itsebon. She will have sorrowful-toil. That is bad news.But God immediately moves on to tell her of good news. How can the words of 3:16 be taken as good news right after God's stern judgment on the serpent tempter? Three of the four words in Line 1 ring of good news!GO DEEPER
This one verse written by the Apostle Paul speaks of a new status for human beings that has been inaugurated via the sacrificial work of Yeshua, as God’s people are to be united as “one person” (NEB), actively accomplishing His tasks in the Earth. At times, we do find Galatians 3:28 quoted among those in our Messianic faith community, but its ramifications are not often fully considered or probed for their significant spiritual power. Current and severe developments in the Messianic movement in our day—with the future steadily looming—require that we take a fresh look at this verse, what its message of equality means for us, and things that we are certainly missing as we seek to be those who are useful in the Lord’s work. This single verse asks us many difficult questions about both Biblical equality and why the Messianic community seems to have less unity and more rivalry.
God spells out the ultimate doom of the woman's enemy which will come through her. Even though he will persist in his attacks and even though figuratively he will bruise the heel of her offspring, who we know ultimately to be Jesus, her offspring will bruise Satan on the head.In Genesis 3:15, in God's last words to the serpent, God prophesies that the woman's “seed” or “offspring” (the Hebrew word is zera‘) will defeat the Tempter. Bad news for the Tempter, but good news for the woman and all humanity!God's words of Good News, called the protevangelium, carry over into God's first words to the woman in Genesis 3:16. God will certainly give her conception of the Offspring who will vanquish Satan!Sadly, most modern translations of Genesis 3:16 cover over this promise and make 3:16 sound like a virtual curse. These mistranslations must be corrected! We need a true 316.Go Deeper!

It turns out that there's been a lot of pollution dumped into Genesis 3:16 by translations into the modern languages we use today. They mix new ideas into the verse and cover over the ideas God put there in the original Hebrew words of the verse. Translations make it look like God cursed the woman when God cursed neither the woman nor the man. The translation of that verse has been incorrect. So, why aren't our translations doing better? And, why would there be a problem translating this verse? What's going on?Did God blame Eve? Take the Mini Course. Here's the link: https://bit.ly/3fFC8j4GO DEEPER!

Do you seek Biblical equality or worldly superiority Despite your color, creed, race or religion, the Bible tells us that we have all been created equal and that we are to esteem others as more highly than ourselves-respect wise. The Bible does not say to put ourselves down but to esteem others more highly-to love others and treat others the way that we would want to be treated. So-where are you at? Biblical equality or worldly superiority? TUNE IT to learn more!

This week, we're talking about gender and relationships. There's a lot to discuss, and we talk about views of gender, gender roles, and relationships. It's a pretty tame battle of the sexes. We address the following questions: 1. What are the prevailing viewpoints on gender (both inside and outside the church)? 2. What position did we used to hold, what disrupted it, and where do we feel tension now? 3. What does it mean to have a gender from a biblical perspective? What is prescriptive and what is merely descriptive (and can we know)? 4. Where do we go from here? What are healthy "stretches"? Here are the links we reference in this episode: Council for Biblical Manhood and Womanhood: https://cbmw.org Danvers Statement: https://cbmw.org/uncategorized/the-danvers-statement/ Christians for Biblical Equality: https://www.cbeinternational.org Our theme music is written by Andy Malone and performed by the band Both Girls.
Some believe that the Bible teaches the superiority of men, but that isn't how God created us and it isn't how Jesus treated women himself.
