A few lessons that can be derived from the story of Zelophehad's daughters:
-Sometimes women have better insight when the rules don't apply.
-The land and the people are one. God's people are tied permanently, inextricably to Eretz #israel. It is their (our!) possession forever. Exile is like divorce.
-Sons inherit first, then daughters, brothers, and male cousins in that order.
-A man's name is more than the label on his birth certificate. It's his character, his legacy, and his permanent mark on the world.
My Husband and I will be reading from the Chronological Gospels book compiled by Micheal Rood of https://aroodawakening.tv/. We will be reading and discussing this book via ZOOM every Tuesday evening beginning tonight from 6 PM to 8 PM CST. If you would like an invite please Message me to get the link to the meeting. We will also be taking communion and prayer requests.
In #torah, daughters have an inheritance in the land too. They have rights and responsibilities. They can own property, run businesses, serve as witnesses in a court, and even as judges. Don't let ignorant people slander God and his law by claiming women are treated as chattel.
That isn't to say that there is on difference between men and women. All of Scripture shows that God has a very definite patriarchal preference for how his people are to be governed at all levels.
Over the last two centuries, the ability to think rationally has been systematically and deliberately undermined in people everywhere, but especially in Western Civilization. I frequently mute (unfollow, unfriend, etc., depending on the social media platform) people, not because I don't like them or don't want to associate with them, but because they express the most absurd ideas in a manner that advertises they will savagely attack anyone who challenges them.
Maybe I'm just a sensitive snowflake, but it hurts me when I see it. It's heart breaking and sometimes I just can't bear it. I don't understand how people get sucked into these bizarre fantasies. I have learned that engaging those people on those topics doesn't help them. They didn't arrive at their beliefs through reason, and so they can't be reasoned out of them. Their circular "logic" and rejection of common sense and all contrary evidence is quite literally infuriating.
If I mute you it's not because I hate you. It's because I don't want to think badly of you. I don't want to be angry at you.
I'll keep teaching and trying to give people the tools they need to avoid those black holes of insanity before they get sucked in too. I love people who are asking questions and are ready to explore ideas outside of traditional boxes.
Everyone needs some guidance at times, and people who are blazing new trails away from convention and dogma often need a little bit more even as they are rejecting their old guides. It's important to recognize that everyone who is wrong isn't necessarily lying to you. Everyone who lied about one thing isn't lying about everything. Not all doctrines, philosophies, or systems are man-made constructs designed to enslave people.
Convention isn't always wrong. *Sometimes* the trail is here and not there because it really does lead to the truth.
