Is the story of Adam & Eve empowering to women when it says she was made from his rib?

Of course it does, and many Christians already understand this. They try and "explain it away" by claiming it is a "metaphor" for the way "God created everything". However, there is a problem with that: 1) If there was no "actual" Adam, there was so "actual" violation of God's order.

2) If there was no "actual" violation of God's order, then, there was no "actual" sin. 3) If there was no "actual" sin, then, there is no need for a savior. CONCLUSION- It was either real, and a "Jesus" was necessary, or it is a metaphor, and he was not.

Either way, one or another very important part of the Bible is disproved.

The whole bible disproves the bible. All I disagree with is that it is only women they control with this superstitious crap. It is men and women they wish to control.

But women more so than men I suppose. Read the bible, to disprove the bible. It is the fastest way.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
