Get the Message?

This is how the MESSAGE puts it:
"Since prayer is at the bottom of all this, what I want mostly is for men to pray, not shaking angry fists at enemies, but rasing holy hands before God. and I want women to get in there with the men in humility before God, not primping before a mirror or chasing the lastest fashions, but doing something beautiful for God and becoming beautiful doing it. I don't let women take over and tell the men what to do. They should study to be quiet and obedient along with everyone else. Adam was made first, then Eve; woman was decieved first - our pioneer in sin! - with Adam right on her heels. On the other hand, her child bearing brought about salvation, reversing Eve. But this salvation only comes to those who continue in faith, love, and holiness, gathering it all into maturity. You can depend on this."
My apologies to the purists out there who cringe at the Message, but I actually "get this".
And again, the theme of the book is consistant - love and purity.
