Thank you, Judy, very much. I'm glad you enjoyed. Interesting enough, my professor (Feldmeth) was Baptist. He said he would take my "findings under consideration," whatever that meant. Yes, the birth order of Artemis then Apollo, and the connection of Artemis to saviour of women in labor are very compelling tidbits of information. It seems quite plausible to me that these are at least some of the doctrines Paul was attempting to challenge in his rebuke of women teachers in Ephesus.
