    8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God. 11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

    Timmy, old boy, I think you might have a point here… lol

    Id say its important to remember that these are not the words of god. They are the words of men, who would use the idea of god to force their world views on to others. Kinda like reddit… but with less paedos moderating…

      It’s Paul. All of the numbered chapters in the new testament are letters from Paul. In this case, to Timothy.

      Paul is lame and destroyed the anarchic majesty that was the early church

      I’m not that knowledgeable about Christianity. But didn’t god just deliver 10 rules and the rest is men writing shit down?

        Jesus explicitly rejected the old laws many times. For example, the un-stoning of the adulteress, new covenant, greatest commandment, etc… It’s all over the gospels.

        It’s worth noting that the gospels are intentionally obscured by almost everybody who profits from christianity (including clergy, “new atheists”, etal. who are actually quite similar).

          Obviously. 😁 But I mean aren’t the ten commandments the only words attributed to god himself? Or the 613 ones according to Viking_Hippie. Unless you count whatever Jesus said
