Saying that it is necessary ‘to gag<br />

(ΕΠΙΣΤΟΜΙΖΕΙΝ) circumcisionist dogs’ is<br />

conceptually inappropriate in an Apostolic context.<br />

In any event, even if Christ referred to<br />

circumcision parabolically— as in Th 53— he<br />

certainly did not forbid its physical practice.<br />

• 25. Lk 11:27-28, Jn 4:1-30, 11:20-35, 20:11-18,<br />

Th 21 || I-Cor 14:34-35, I-Tim 2:11-15<br />

Various women speak up boldly to the Savior.<br />

Later, Mariam Magdalene as first witness (!) <strong>of</strong> the<br />

resurrection is sent by Christ to ‘angel’ (ΑΓΓΕΛΛΩ:<br />

p66* )* A B) his rising to the Apostles themselves.<br />

This is not a teaching <strong>of</strong> mere female<br />

submissiveness or keeping quiet in the<br />

Convocation!<br />

• 26. Lk 7:36-8:3, 10:38-42, 23:55-24:11, Jn<br />

12:1-3, Th 61b, 114, Ph 59 || I-Cor 7:1-2, Eph<br />

5:22-24<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Gospels</strong> represent women as an intimate<br />

part <strong>of</strong> Christ's entourage— thus rescinding the<br />

punishment <strong>of</strong> husband-domination in Gen 3:16.<br />

Paul emphatically opposes any liberated role for<br />

females.<br />

• 27. Mt 3:11-17, 28:19-20, Ph 73, 96, 115! || Rom<br />
