What does it say about women speaking again?
I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.”
Paul probably didn't write that paragraph of verses. It was most likely added by someone else along the way.
To your point of people wanting to take only portions of the Bible literally and ignore others, there are TONS of things that the old testament says to do that we don't do every day.
A whole lot of the bible wasn't written by Paul. Doesn't mean its not part of the bible.
Nah, I can see Paul saying that, I just cannot see Jesus (who was openly kissing women like men kissed men and basically publicly recognising them as equals! The horror, lol) saying that. 🤷
That sounds like a very feminine opinion
Didn't Mary and Joseph live together before they were married?
No, they just had a baby in a cave together and claimed it was a virgin birth.
Seriously though, I thought they were married?
I feel like if they were married it would have been expected that mary wasn't a virgin
It was acceptable because Mary could do sick ollies at the half pipe
Did God marry Mary, before he knocked her up?
No, but in his defense, neither did he live with her.
Incorrect. He lives inside all of us! HE'S INSIDE OF YOU RIGHT NOW!!
I didn't consent to this!
UwU Jesus Christ
Some really unfortunate power dynamics in that relationship.
Problematic
There are so many books. It is strange that this one gets so much attention.
Controversial fact: Gondor does in fact call for aid.
We mustn't answer the call!
But it's a Good Book don't ya know! If you just read one book it should be a Good Book.
Outside the Ten Commandments (supposedly), the Bible was written entirely by fallible humans - these assholes keep forgetting that part & act like it's 100% perfect (which we know it's not simply by its own self-contradictions).
Also somehow the King James version is authoritative, after who knows how many links if translation phone games?
It is also important to not forget about how the Bible was formed.
What we know as the Bible is a collection of books, selected by a committee during a conclave centuries ago.
Any decision made by humans in power and influence will inevitably be favoring their own goals and politics.
There are plenty of other Christian texts that were excluded, how would they have changed Christianity if they were included?
Thou shalt boof but not before 3 days after the sabbath. So it is written
The Bible is very contradictory because it's a collection of books written throughout millennia, usually with prophets saying A and judges and scholars saying B (and people usually following B).
And I see Stanzi is on her Madonna-styled Trinitarian rebellion, lol. I love her content, hopefully she's not doing too many bumps!
Equally controversial fact:
I am not obliged by law or morality to follow what is written in your fucking book either way.
