Kings 22:14
So Hilkiah the priest, Ahikam, Achbor, Shaphan, and Asaiah went to Huldah the prophetess, the wife of Shallum the son of Tikvah, the son of Harhas, keeper of the wardrobe. (She dwelt in Jerusalem in the Second Quarter.) And they spoke with her.

Nehemiah 6:14
Remember, O my God, all the evil things that Tobiah and Sanballat have done. And remember Noadiah the prophet and all the prophets like her who have tried to intimidate me.

Luke 2:36
And there was one Anna, a prophetess, the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Aser: she was of a great age, and had lived with an husband seven years from her virginity;


Yahoo Bot's talking points will say that the female leaders in the Bible were the ancient equivalents of Relief Society Presidents and Temple workers. That is the explanation I always heard.

Precise wording is only important when it advances the LDS viewpoint.

Probably one of those translation errors.

Just more proof that god is racist.


For the jews, yes, god is racist. We just need to look how they reference why they are the chosen people and why they should have the land (the west bank) given to them by god. The other semites, the palestinians, are excluded from the land. Thus, the problems.

Since the zionists use the Bible to justify their occupation and land grab, is the jewish faith racist?
