I should add to post #293 (my last to you, that family-based enterprises are great for family and economy. I mean, an enterprise where husband, wife, and children work together to form and operate a company or business.

I am coming at this, as I do in all of my posts from the perspective of a Bible-believing Christian, reflective of America's Christian history and heritage. If you do not believe the Bible, then my commends are lost on you, that's all.

The Scriptures do not prohibit women from conducting business or enterprise, or from laboring ; but the context of them doing so in Scripture (e.g. Proverbs ch. 31 ; etc.) is always in direct correspondence to family order---the women's enterprise always centered around her home and family, diminishing the affects of her entering into a "dual headship," working for a man, for example who is a different woman's head, not hers.

Thus the most consistent course with Scriptural principle would be a business in which the husband and wife, and children are laboring together.

Women in combat are working for their families. Her working “for a man” does not diminish her status. It is not a dual headship by working for someone. My mother worked as a beautician, and had her own shop at times, other times she ran shops. If I read you correctly, then she shouldn’t have done any of these things. Are you proposing that women shouldn’t be in the workplace unless they are working in a family based business.

God created woman from Adam’s rib (side) so that she wasn’t beneath him. She didn’t come from his feet. Although it is interesting that, all human life starts out female, and then splits to become male or female.
