Tru Friends Friday - Dr. Mike Davis. Echoes of Slavery "justification!"

It is stunning how slave holders before the American Civil War tried to justify their actions with arguments similar to those used by those who restrict women in the church and the home! Christy is stunned as she and Bruce talk with Rev. Dr. Mike David on this Tru Friend Friday episode of The Eden Podcast!

Here are some of books Mike referred to on this episode.

The Tru316 Foundation (www.Tru316.com) is the home of The Eden Podcast with Bruce C. E. Fleming where we “true” the verse of Genesis 3:16. The Tru316 Message is that “God didn’t curse Eve (or Adam) or limit woman in any way.” Once Genesis 3:16 is made clear the other passages on women and men become clear too. You are encouraged to access the episodes of Seasons 1-11 of The Eden Podcast for teaching on the seven key passages on women and men. Are you a reader? We invite you to get from Amazon the four books by Bruce C. E. Fleming in The Eden Book Series (Tru316.com/trubooks). Would you like to support the work of the Tru316 Foundation?
