The bible when taken metaphorically, provides us the truth about god; but when taken literally, the bible provides as the truth about man. ↗
God said to Moses, 'I AM who I AM.' And He said, 'Say this to the people of Israel, "I AM has sent me to you."' ~Exodus 3:14 ↗
Trust in the Lord with alll your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Acknowledge him in all your ways and he will direct your path. ↗
I would urge us to be not too certain of our accustomed ways of looking at Genesis, and to open ourselves to the wisdom of the God-bearing men of the past who have devoted so much intellectual effort to understanding the text of Genesis as it was meant to be understood. These Holy Fathers are our key to understanding Genesis. ↗
And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us. ↗
We must acknowledge that all we have are, at times very differing, interpretations of what Jesus was all about-and these interpretations, as they are collected in the New Testament, have been written in particular situations by men, none of whom questioned the existing patriarchal structure of their societies or of their communities. While some Christ-believing women did challenge certain male-dominated aspects of their church gatherings (see 1 Cor 14:33b-36) it is quite unlikely that they questioned the patriarchal structure of their society, community, and church on a fundamental level. ~ Werner Kahl in Reading Other-Wise, p. 151 ↗
