I am aware of that, but I still do not accept the specific ideas of men ruling over women or of womankind being punished through childbirth. In short, I reject sexism just as I reject racism and nearly every other "ism".

Don't go to the trouble. I reject the basic premises of the early chapters of Genesis, not merely a specific translation. What I accept as an accurate summary of actual Creation is John 1:1-5. You are, of course, free to believe as you choose, however, and I don't have any desire to change your way of thinking. |
you can't choose and pick what you believe in from the Bible.
anyway, Christ took those sins away with His death. His resurrection shows us how things will be when we are in Heaven.
