I'm not sure I follow you on this one. What do you mean?
What I am saying is who judges whether a woman or man "has" more spirituality than the other? And what "spirituality" are you judging?
Then the answer becomes, "because it says so". Can you understand why a person who is a non-believer would look at that and say, "that's not good enough
Ok,following your reason,
let's say Peter said, That ain't good enough" when Jesus said "come follow me" ?
Let's say Abraham said, "that ain't good enough" to God when told to pick up and move.
Let's say Paul(then Saul) says "that ain't good enough" to the Lord when He told Paul to go to the city and there he would be told what to do?
Let's say the eununch told Phillip, when told who he had been reading about, said "so what" or "I don't like that answer", instead of "what must I do to be saved" what then?
So you decide the answers given to us are not good enough for you. Well that is a personal choice you choose, I am sorry you choose it. Many others did what was asked of them and they are called faithful.
If you take a situation that on the surface looks like chauvinism(sp?)(when you a deny a women basic rights for no other reason than gender, that is chauvinism)and have no other reason to explain it besides, "it says so", a non-believer will just look at it
and say that he doesn't believe that God denys any human basic rights.
Because God says something and I agree, you say it is chauvinism. I say open your hart soul and mind and inquire of God.
Again, that doesn't mean that anyone is more right or wrong, just that this question is representative of one that keeps some people from believing in literal
translation. I KNOW that it keeps many women from believing in literal translation, and keeps some from christianity as a whole.
Yes it does Mark. God's word is always correct. And yes again the question will always be asked in various forms, or it can be asked in it's real intention....Why is my idea not better than God's?
If the Word keeps women from believing, I am sorry for them. It is not the word it is the heart.
