If Yeshua’s Mother Was Not a Virgin, Would You Still Believe He Is God?: The Implications of Women’s Sexuality for the Christian Religion.

What does it matter to Yeshua's claims to divinity that his mother was a pregnant virgin? What would it have mattered if he'd been birthed by a non-virgin woman? Would his divinity have been questioned, rejected or mattered less? If yes, then we are looking at a situation where salvation of humanity depends on women's sexuality.

Man or Husband Does Not Mean or Translate as Protector, Provider, Defender, Etc..

Nowhere in the Scriptures is there mention of this term being translated to mean 'provider,' 'defender,' or 'protector.' Instead, what we see in Scripture is that people who are in covenant of commitment to one another deliberately practice and model these concepts regardless of their gender. -Oghene'tega Swann

Single Women and the Imago Dei

"The revelation of who God is carries into our lives both as single and married folks, and not just as married folks. Thus, we do not lack full representation of God only to gain it when we become married. Instead, God reveals the fullness of His being to us both in singleness and in marriage." -Rev. Tega Swann
