I have never been one who understands the "battling of the sexes." Our reading on witches last week and now this weeks reading of Agrippa both equally infuriated me in different ways. I do not think women to be either higher or lower than any man who walks the earth. I hold firmly to the Biblical understanding that men and women are meant to serve different roles within the world. If men and women battle against each other, then how can there ever be a marriage between them that displays the beauty of Christ and the Church in the way that a marriage is intended to? There cannot be. Therefore, in that sense, we have failed one of the commandments of Christ. Women are not superior, nor are men, but they are called to different roles that are intended to compliment and complete one another in order to carry out the commandments and the call of Christ upon the lives of those who follow him.
P.S. I commented on Kelli's post
I am with you 100 percent. I couldn't wrap my mind around Agrippa. He made me mad! No one should ever think they are better than another, regardless of the judging criteria. No man is any greater in the eyes of God. I also find it quite ironic that it is was a man writing this. I wonder what his intentions were?
