This intrigued me, so I actually asked my theology teacher about it, because something wouldn’t let me truly believe that it was accurate, though it suppose it’s written in the bible. So I thought about his answer, and this is what I have to say: The bible was written hundreds of thousands of years ago? Things were VERY different then, and also, the bible was not written in English. It was written in languages spoken back then, and in time, things get lost and changed in translation.In the time that this was written, women barely had any rights, correct? However, God has a special love and appreciation for women, and there are MANY other writings in the Bible that say things that I’m sure would contradict this. So being that things in the English Bible has been lost in translation and that the Bible was written by PEOPLE in that time, not by God, how can something like this still apply or be said as true by anyone? Bible-believers or readers, “religious” or not, all the same? The people that wrote these LETTERS, (because that’s what the writings in the Bible are) LIVED in a world where that’s how people thought. That’s just the way things WERE. I’m sure that in the next million years things that were completely normal to us will be very different, right? Not saying that that applies to EVERYTHING in the Bible, and who’s to say what does and what doesn’t? But for this, I believe it does.
I totally respect those of you that will use this as an argument against us folk who are “religious” with Biblical studies, so please respect me? I barely put in any ACTUAL religious views, LOL, I just gave the other side of this after thinking about it for a while and talking to someone who actually knows what he’s talking about. <33
