I agree with your post and wonder why people are so impolite at times online especially in blogs. We need to walk in Chrit's love with humility and Christian kindness. Thanks again for the great exegetical teaching especially on the Gospel of John! In Christ, Bob Page Concord, NC Hi Dr. Kostenberger,

It’s Bob Page, your former student. I agree with your post and wonder why people are so impolite at times online especially in blogs. We need to walk in Chrit’s love with humility and Christian kindness. Thanks again for the great exegetical teaching especially on the Gospel of John!

You cannot possibly know a person well enough from this medium to make the judgments that some often make.

He created the sexes, and the differences therein. It is amazing some of the scorning and ridiculing comments put out on some blogs. It does make you wonder how these people are face to face.

I have, of course, read quite a bit of what you have written. I am a Canadian woman who writes mainly about mission work, Bible translation and women. I had wanted to comment on your blog some time last winter but the technology was different then and I wasn't able to figure it out. I think that after reading excerpts from your article "The Neutering of 'Man' in the NIVI," I first felt uncomfortable with your writing.

But you offer women boundaries. In fact, I am a free, independent-type spirit who loves nothing more than wide open spaces and plenty of room to roam.

Me too. But you offer women boundaries.

Was that me? I think that it had to do with my retaining my sanity as a woman. It is hard for me to read about the patricentric family and remaining in the domestic domain and all those boundaries and submission and so on because I know many women who have been seriously abused and were given this type of literature. I also know many women who don't/can't have children or aren't married and they like to do any of the things that men do, not the things that one would list as 'domestic'. It feels very personally unpleasant to read what you write, but maybe you are not aware that your writing makes people feel so sad. Do you have a list of things that women can do? Should I have a list of things that men can do? It is a sad discourse. No room for Deborah, or Phoebe, or Huldah - always Hannah, and Rebecca, and Mary, well women are all different individuals! I recently had someone tell me, via blog, that they would never read anything again that I wrote.

I think there is a postive aspect to the whole thing as well, namely, that we can see the reality of one's heart by what we say. And even if it is in written form it nevertheless reflects our heart. So, for the rude comments we may get via internet, we can respond in God glorifying ways that make much of God and deal with the reality of man's heart. Blessings. Agreed.
