Women To Remain Silent?

That was Old Testament law. What part of that do you not understand. Do you always erase people's answers that you don't like? Some men use that verse to be abusive and insist that their wife be "submissive" when actually they just want to be abusive to their wife. You sound narcissistic. No woman needs to bow down to you or worship you. You've taken that out of context to meet your own selfish needs. That's sick. If a man loves a woman, he will treat her as Christ loved the church, and that was with all the love and respect one could have.

The bible also says

"[i]Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God[/i]" (Matthew 19:23)

Yet the average christian worships billionaires at least as much as they worship their god.

What part of that didn't you (plural) understand?

Why anyone would think silencing women is a good idea. Their perspective, knowledge and experience can bring value to a discussion. I think many of these types of rules were created because a man was once made to look a fool and he didn't know how to hand his woman.

Most christians probably haven't even read the garbage book they claim to derive their morals from

Why have you missed out ‘of the saints’ from the first phrase of the first sentence.

Also where did you get those commas from? New Testament Greek does not have some.

On a personal note, I’m glad you read the Bible. But try to read it as a whole, instead of a couple of sentences. Within twenty years of Jesus death women acted as leaders in certain church groups: prophets, teachers and evangelists. Paul recognises their work as deacons and fellow workers, and even greets one, as an outstanding apostle.

You will see this when you get to Romans 16.7,
16.1-2, 16.6,16.12. Philippians 4:2-3. Col4.15
Acts 2.25,21.9.

In Christ there is neither male nor female.

I understand it all and reject iall of it as bullshit, just like Abrahamic religions as a whole. Why should women be silent?

@Adstar it would be better if the [b]men [/b]were not allowed to speak. If churches were used for quiet personal meditatiion rather than a guy in fancy dress spouting at a bunch of like minded zombies. That'd be great.

Just shows the bible is full of shit.

women have alot of input.while the west was being settled,women were not allowed to own land and the man handled all finances.women could have been better planners.

I’m Jewish, and my congregation has a lesbian rabbi. We love her.

OP:

Not what it means. It's [u]spiritual[/u] not carnal. That's why so many misinterpret it. It is talking about her teaching or usurping authority over the man, Of course she can speak.

Isn't the scripture grand? /s

It's a matter of biblical commitment, a commitment to the scripture that unequivocally, we believe, limits the office of pastor to men. It is an issue of biblical authority. Geoff Bennett: And there are other SBC members who note that the Roman Catholic Church also does not allow women to serve as pastors or priests.

Southern Baptists say no to women pastors, uphold expulsion of Saddleback megachurch. Congregants arrive at Saddleback Church in Lake Forest, Calif. The megachurch founded by Rick Warren was one of two churches affected by a vote Wednesday at the Southern Baptist Convention's annual meeting.

All religions are male dominate, female submissive at least, slave at the extreme.

Men are responsible for more deaths, rapes, and wars.

Women nurture...men destroy.

What the actual hell! Talk about a lot of B.S.

I've never been to a church like that.

Yeah, Fuck that. 🤣😂

Wow, this should get more downvotes than 'bomb Canada'..

What do you not understand of being a sensitive, caring person?

That's how people used to think though. It doesn't bother me.

[quote]“As in all the churches, the women are not permitted to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law also says. If they desire to learn anything, let them ask their own husbands at home, for it is improper for a woman to speak in church.” 1 Corinthians 14:34-35

Amen...

Let me guess, you're nothing but an uber religious freak that follows a false apostle.
