When men drop the reins, women pick them up.
How were men supposed to keep the reins
Good leadership. Already addressed.
So you tell me how some hardnose guy convinces a woman to choose something he wants her to do instead of what she wants to do.
Uh...that's never going to work. Why would anyone follow a hardnosed person? You seem to really fail at this concept...that women will follow GOOD leaders. A hardnosed person is a good leader?
Make up your mind.
No one will follow a soft guy, but no one will follow a hard guy, either.
Apparently “leadership” is some magic wand that becomes anything you need it to be...except an answer to a straight forward question you have been asked repeatedly.
How do you lead women who refuse to follow? Leadership!
How do you keep someone safe who refuses to be safe? Safety!
How do you get pregnant when you can’t get pregnant? Pregnancy!
How do you find a job when you can’t find a job? Find a job!
How do you win a debate with “what’s up?”
Walk away...
It is because you are too lazy to do your homework, relying instead upon the priestly class of "scholars" to do it for you. You let them study Torah and tell you what it means rather than learning from it yourself and engaging others in discussion.
Our Savior didn't associate with the pharisees; He associated with the am-haaretz, the people of the land, taking His teaching directly from Torah. My take is that you would rather follow the priests than His example. So why should I bother with more than a succinct reply when you won't read what I've provided you?
Stew in your juice. Its quite apparently bitter taste might just do you some good.
I have never seen a reason to reinvent the wheel, particularly when current wheels work just fine.
Furthermore, I hardly think the endorsement of a fringe Jewish sect, whose most notable contribution to modern theology is the promotion of a false messiah, to be too compelling.
You let them study Torah and tell you what it means rather than learning from it yourself and engaging others in discussion.
You presume much. But then, it is with good reason Jesus warned about the way of "rich" men.
Our Savior didn't associate with the pharisees.
Sure he did. He associated with them all the time. What he didn't do was agree with them.
Nevertheless, he did seem to reserve his strongest disapproval for those who manipulated the Scripture to achieve a divine imprimatur for their own preferences and accusations.
So why should I bother with more than a succinct reply when you won't read what I've provided you?
Because your "succinct reply" is so succinct, it provides neither the problem, nor the solution; only a strained reinterpretation, having neither a thorough peer review, nor a stated motivation, though a quasi-gnostic impetus seems strongly implied.
Are you really so myopic as to believe "the people of the land" are "too lazy" to make textual criticism their avocation?
Stew.
Sure thing, “Sheldon.”
