The Historical Jesus

[BrianSoddingBoru4]

Boru, if you read Proverbs 31 and all you walked away with was, "this woman is a domestic servant" then it makes your reading of every single other passage of scripture highly suspect. If we replaced the word she with he then what we would have is a man who is successful in real estate, as well as sewing and one who is physically strong. Also we would have someone who is a good partner to his wife whom he is pleased to support with all of his business ventures. Are women supposed to hate the idea of starting a profitable business to support their husband? Or allow the family to be raised in a wealthy home? Please go on Boru, your textual analysis is fascinating.

Yeah, the thing is that, for a woman to be respected, she has to work like a dray horse from before daylight til after dark. Farming, cooking, sewing, weaving, spinning, dealing with merchants and tradespeople, and for what? So her husband can be respected when he sits on his arse with the elders.

Also, you might want to look up the term ‘textual analysis’, because this isn’t that.
