Re: who believes this nonsense?
I just want to add one more thing. Main stream Christianity has been so brainwashed with the false teaching about women that they do not even realize that the scriptures are against women. This may be your problem, Trapper, and it proves you are not an expert as you claim. Many do not want to study it out because they like the false teaching. They think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. Those who are preaching the truth lose many Christian friends, especially male ministers who are trying to get the truth out. Some have gone through financial hardship because of the rejection in their ministries.
There indeed was an agenda when the scriptures were translated. Many women know something is wrong, especially women who have the call of God on their lives for ministry. Other women have suffered greatly in marriage, being married to men who are totally in the flesh, thinking that they are the masters instead of Christ. I've seen it too many times in Christian marriages. I've seen the pain, but the women are considered evil for not putting up with the abuse with a smile on their faces. These fleshy men think that they have the scriptures on their side to back up their behavior.
Yes, women get in the flesh too and can abuse back. No, not all Christian marriages are like this. Some of them walk in the Spirit and have brains in their heads even though they believe the false teaching.
