[Vision2020] what the Bible really teaches (was DouglasWilsononwomen)

[joekc at adelphia.net]

Since there is absolutely nothing in the passage quoted from Wilson with which I agree, I'm curious to know what you think the "interesting point in response" is, Michael?

Also, doesn't the suggestion that some parts of creation are up to God's will ("Femininity" in women) while others are not ("effeminacy in men") contrary to the view that God is all powerful and perfect? How can any part of the Divine creation be "grotesque"? These seem to me to be odd remarks for a Calvinist to make.

Best, Joe
