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.

    Christians on old testament laws:

    • prohibition on eating pork: god actually didn't mean we should stop eating pork. It was an accident bro.

    • prohibition on vaguely sexual acts without clear translation: this is the word of god, how dare these people exist

    I'm not defending Christianity, but the actual defense of pork is that Jesus had made pork clean, in a vision to Peter where the analogy was that Jesus also made non Jewish people clean, since mixing with them was also forbidden. So less accident, more amendment.

    They would also claim (from my experience in a cult anyway) that the old laws were necessary at the time they were given, but by the time Jesus came he could revise them as they were more ready.

    If we look at it from a secular viewpoint, badly cooked pork probably caused a bunch of illness to was banned, and by the time Jesus supposedly existed people had learned to cook it more safely.

    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. 🤷

    Nowhere, actually, I must have hallucinated it (?!). Perhaps in some apocryphal gospel? Religious fiction? Sorry for spreading misinformation, I really thought I read it.

    Paul never even met Jesus. He had a vision that Jesus wanted him to be a disciple.

    Try having a vision that you are a billionaire CEO of some big Wall Street company and see how far that will take you?

    I feel like if I put enough production value into it I could get a following that goes for it.

    Kinda like how people think Elon is a genius not because of anything he did but because people paid to say he was one said he was one
