No need for a boss here

Dr. Bill Rudd Blog 0 0

In the original creation, why was their no need for either gender to have authority over the other? Here’s a brief paragraph from the chapter of my book entitled, What God Intended From the Beginning:   “Considering my assertion that there are no gender-based hierarchical distinctions in God’s creation design, it is helpful to remember that in that perfect, pre-sin world there was no selfishness, competition, conflict, pride, ambition, jealousy, manipulation, or desire for domination.

Dr. Bill Rudd Blog 0 0

Dr:       Is there anything else? Me:      My wife said I had to talk to you about my memory loss. I forget names sometimes but I think over all I’m doing fine for my age. I’ll be 73 in a few weeks. Dr:       You have nothing to worry about. Remember we did a battery of memory tests on you? Me:      [long pause] We did? You mean a few questions like, “Can you count backwards from one hundred by threes?” Dr:       No……
