ProfLogic said:I refering to the scripture writers. the culture was mail dominated thus mary was not a person that they wanted to write for. Jesus the son of god is evident. It could have been a daugther... eve is evil, etc...... The culture dictated your christian theology.....
You didn't read a thing I wrote.
If that culture dictated Christian Theology, then why does the Bible refer to God as a mother? Why do we have such things as feminist theology and liberation theology? That culture did not "dictate" our theology. Their culture may have informed some of their understanding of theology, but our own culture has informed our own understanding of theology, too. No. This is not a cultural issue at its base, but a theological one.
