Do you think it was possible for Adam or Eve to have committed adultery when just the two of them existed in the Garden of Eden?

Do you think they would remain the only two forever?

You don't seem to have much respect or trust for God's handiwork. Without the fall, there would have been no adultery, not even the temptation even with 10 billions humans around.

Much of the to do about women's equality, women in the workplace, and women being ordained centers on the modern Eves' rejection of their God-assigned duties. An interesting statement from the pen of inspiration which touches on this is the following from Ministry of Healing (1905).



This statement highlights distinctions in duties between men and women. Women who do their noble work in the home would not be temptresses for men who are laboring outside the home.

Tragically, many modern women feel that "housewifery" is beneath them. They want to do everything that a man would ordinarily do.

It so happens that my wife has four sisters, all of them are now past the age of 70. Two of these are widows, and both of them had to "bury" the car with their husbands, who had firmly believed that driving a car was only the task of a man. Neither one of the other two are able to drive the car, due to the same convictions. Now that their husbands are getting older they are not always able to drive.

My wife and I take turns driving, and this is a great relief for both of us. Today we will drive to town to visit a sister who has been a widow for 26 years without a car.

Would we have a better world if no females could drive a car?

Two ditches:

One of legalism & intolerance, the other of liberalism & cheap grace.

I'd like you to show from Ellen White's writings where mini-skirts are healthy. Or is this just a thought since they don't drag the streets?

If you are looking for a specific mention of miniskirts, you won't find it. Mrs. White does not mention them. They were invented in the 1960s. However, if you are looking for a reference to a healthful skirt, note the following statement.



In agreement with the principles outlined above, a miniskirt is not heavy, does not catch the dampness of the ground, and does not impede free and natural movement. As it does not provide much warmth, it would be unsuitable in the winter. But in the summertime, there is no reason provided in the above statement to prohibit it, and much, in fact, to promote it.

Please understand that I am NOT promoting miniskirts. My object here with this example is to illustrate the need of balance in interpretation of the spirit of prophecy, and this balance necessarily includes taking all of the statements on a given subject together in their totality. One statement alone is often insufficient to provide a clear view. Another statement will add to it and help us to understand better.

Note that the statement I quoted above is focused strictly on health and makes no mention of modesty nor of morality. So from a health standpoint strictly, miniskirts would not be prohibited. But when we move to the modesty issue we have a clear prohibition against such an article of clothing.

From a health perspective, EGW could not have endorsed mini-skirts (or t-shirts, etc.)
because this would contradict her counsel to keep all limbs covered to balance circulation, regardless of season.
________________________

Right, but it's a part of the miniskirt fad to wear the leotards/tights as well. That would fulfill that portion of the counsel. I'm not sure that Ellen White would have required that limbs be fully covered in summer either. Where do you find that?

If you work in the tropics, are you required to wear long sleeves?

I've never enjoyed seeing women's armpits (or men's for that matter), in any season. But I have no issue with short sleeves. Covering the armpits is simply for modesty...well, and maybe for aesthetics too. But there's no need to cover the arms to prevent the cold when the weather is in the upper 80s to 90s and the humidity is so high that your sweat just sticks to you while your body nearly overheats.

Do you have a good quotation for this exact measurement of people?
