I know we're really big on The Fortunate Fall, but couldn't we also allow for something like this?"Nothing at all in Genesis [or Moses?] is intended to teach that God set man over woman as the ideal. Before sin came into the world the subordination of women ontologically* or functionally is never considered. The rule of man and the distortion in the equal and complementary relationship of the sexes is given as one of the sad consequences of the fall. Men dominate women and women acquiesce not because God made things that way in creation, but because sin has disrupted life as it was intended by God. The order of creation depicts man and woman standing side by side: only after the fall does man set himself above the woman."
Another thing: I'm like a dog with a bone about what needs to change in the temple, what needs to go away, etc. What if the best way forward is to add to? We're kind of stuck with Genesis. But we could take it where it needs to go by adding. Just 60 more seconds of the endowment could heal a world of hurt.
*I had to look it up: "Ontology is the philosophical study of the nature of being, becoming, existence, or reality, as well as the basic categories of being and their relations."
