Man/Woman series

Working on this Men and Women are not Equal series.  Love this subject, but it is hard to do it justice in a sermon series.  I studied this a lot in college and after.  The real question is how to find the truth that crosses all the things said in scripture.  I believe God created us equivalent and there was not one in charge of the other at the beginning.  I believe the curse is just that - a curse, not a command to live by.  I believe Jesus meant what He said when He said "neither male nor female, jew nor greek..." etc.  The gender is just another aspect of who we are no different than skin color or family background.  What about Paul saying women can't speak and wives submit to husbands?  Next week we will look at the submission concept at least and address the NT view of women.  Chime in if you have any opinions.
