Because Lord knows, the bible is replete with Female prerogatives.

""Not Emasculated: avoiding unisex, "gender inclusive" language, and other feminist distortions; preserve many references to the unborn child (the NIV deletes these) ""

Of course, this emasculating starts off young, so we will develop public school materials. Of course Jezebel, and Delilah remain women.

""benefiting from activity that no public school would ever allow; a Conservative Bible could become a text for public school courses""

Next, they are going to work on this distorted piece.

About taking the "he" out of "she" Lunacee2012 Jan 2012 #8
