Christine,

The fact that the Bible can be abused through searches is exactly why it must be taken as a whole. You act like such an expert, by quoting sources that abuse history, and know little about the Bible itself. If you want to learn about Yeshua, you should do so form people who serve him, and want to love the world for him. I cannot pick and choose scripture, but accept it all as a whole. In this way the entire counsel of G-d shines through. Many examples of "Christian" errors you have cited here do take things out of context. You will never know the truth until you study Yeshua, whom the whole of the book is about. Do not speak with authority until you have studied the Word of G-d.

Yeshua loves you, and gave himself for you. Will you at least stop turning his truths into mythology. - DLL

>> I could easily do a search and find plenty of quotes from the Bible that are very harshly dominating towards women.<<

ok do so.

>> all the deaths in the Inquisition for example, and the extent of domestic violence in America, make strong statements. <<

yes they do. they make the statement that men were not followers of Christ or they would not be acting this way.

>>Did you know that early Celtic women in Ireland owned property on their own,<<

Proverbs 31:10--A wife of noble character who can find? v11- Her husband has full confidence in her. v.16- SHE CONSIDERS A FIELD AND BUYS IT; (women owning property is not new)

>>could leave their marriages every year simply by walking out on February first? <<

This was progress? this is good? God says two become one.

>>Of course, these are historical facts that scholars and seekers of the truth know. <<

haha- how high was your nose when you printed this?

>> but I think it is a mistake to assume that religious belief systems have been benign or positive on the general history of man.<<

So lets hear your better way Christine.
