You're a piece of shit. Now get lost you big dummy.

Did he just say A-Jew-mulation? lol

Why might it be justified in the context of worship if it is not justified in other contexts?

[mtanousable]

What I meant was the context was a chapter entitled "Instructions on Worship" (or some variant thereof). So it is possible that Paul is correct that *during worship and in church dealings* that women and men have certain roles, as he wrote Timothy. Or not. I can't really argue to this specific passage and its meaning. I only wanted to note that it only applies to the procedure for worship and church leadership, and not all of life.

[xcvsdxvsx]

ok so i read the chapter, i see that timothy is not claiming that these are the words of god but neither is he claiming that this is purely how he feels things should be done. "This is good, and pleases God our Savior" he is making objective claims. So do you believe timothy is correct when he says that these are the qualities god desires in his female followers? If not than do you believe that sometimes apostles are wrong but everything that is a quotation from god is correct?

[mtanousable]

The context is the internal workings of the church, in an age where having the women teach was frowned upon by even most women. Whether that is the way the church should be run or not is obviously debatable, but that context is important.

Without it, it would be similar to leaving off the "in self-defense" part of "it is acceptable to kill someone in self-defense".

[xcvsdxvsx]

or you know we can punish those who commit crimes on an individual basis and treat everyone else as equals.

[xcvsdxvsx]

By all means, enlighten me. Forget what the actual context is just give me ANY conceivable context you can imagine where that passage makes sense. Oh and one rule, nothing stupid like "a person is being held hostage and the assailant hands the victim a note and instructs the victim to read it out loud".
