On the flip side tho, what do you do with women like Timothy's grandmother in the Bible? Didn't she work? And how about in the virtuous woman - don't they talk about her working well with her hands, etc.? I suppose I should go and take the time to look these passages up so that I can talk intelligently before I post, but right now I'm just trying to take out enough time to eat my lunch. LOL
I think if you check they worked, but probably not for money. They worked in the fields, spinning thread, whatever women in the day did for their families - just like stay at home moms do now. Do they work? You better betcha they do!
