"One flesh" certainly indicates equality.If that is the case, then why are there passages like the ones where women are to to keep quiet and to be obedient to their husbands? Also, I do not know why this certainly means equality. Couldn't women still have been seen as the inferior half, who needed a man to complete them?

Quote:And, I did not move away from what was previously quoted. I quoted that passage in full (and another verse or two) originally.The previous portion of this part of the discussion regarded the time after the thousand year reign of Christ when Satan was released from prison. You then shifted to the tribulation, before Satan was imprisoned.

Where does it say that? (Though that would make sense) I think the point of contention between us would be how much faith it is we're talking about. You seem to think a lot less is required than I do. Although, even if we assume that god did make a deal with the devil, why would he do it? What could Satan possibly offer an omnipotent god (other than someone to demonize to make himself look good)?
