Are you implying that WOMEN did not write the Hebrew Scriptures???

Do you realize how insulting this is to females!!!.
What about the book of Ruth???? Or Esther?

Now, those two are romance novels if I ever saw one----
no MEN could have written them!!!!

Really, I think the whole Tanach shows far too much creativity and
sensitivity
to have been written by......mere MEN.

Frankly, I have no idea why biblical scholars would go to all the trouble
they do to study the Bible in such detail if it
is just another product of mortal MEN.....(Now if were written by
women,....well that may be another story.)

Where???? If there is such an "occaisonal passage" perhaps WOMEN really did
write
the Hebrew Scriptures.....

Yours in Confidence,

Christine
