"I will greatly increase your pain in/and your pregnancy/conception. In pain you will bear children. And your desire will be for your husband, and he

and he will rule over you."
[b]Genesis 3:16[/b] (this is the curse on all women because in the Garden Eve enticed Adam to sin)
"Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church."
[b]1 Corinthians 14:34 [/b]

Do you truly believe and follow this ?

If God loves all his creatures, and the debt of original sin been paid, why punish further those not guilty and already absolved ?

@NOS4R2 We are all sinful, every one of us!

NOS4R2 · 36-40

@Carazaa so you think women should be silent ?
I can't abide that . That isn't right. I refuse to believe that God made such a ruling.

God is too great to be misogynistic.

@NOS4R2 Ok do what you please then. For me and my house we will serve the Lord. I want to make him happy, and I want to be blessed!

@Carazaa And you can't be blessed if you speak up? Have your own opinion?
People are fallible, hence the church can be fallible. If people had spoken up particular churches and cergy may not have fallen into doing evil things.
If we stay silent when we could have spoken against evil - is that righteous ?
Our souls are genderless to God, we are neither man nor woman in his eyes, we are his children.
He gave us a voice to use for good.
Denying that gift seems .... illogical and perhaps ungrateful.
On a side note, I think we must be careful taking [b]all [/b] of the Bible verbatim - it was written in politically sexist times.
The inspired writers weren't only inspired by their Faith, but also their present culture.
We must be wary of such idignancies distorting the true message God intends.
I feel we must take our faith, speak up, speak for the needy, for the voiceless, lead.
To be the Shepard not the sheep.
