Do Men Have Authority Over Women?

[reformed1689]

I believe that we should obey the Lord, and when we do, we have peace of mind. Check out Matthew 4:17.

How can you obey the Lord if you throw out parts of His Word?

 

[Bob Estey]

So God was wrong? Remember all Scripture is inspired by God. So if Paul in his letters was wrong it is not Paul you are disagreeing with it is God. That's some pretty dangerous territory Bob!

No, God wasn't wrong. Paul was wrong, I believe.

 

[reformed1689]

Paul tells women not to speak in churches. I can only think of one way to interpret that.

Because you are lazy in your interpretation and don't care to even investigate what he was talking about and what the original audience would have taken that to mean.

 

[reformed1689]

No, God wasn't wrong. Paul was wrong, I believe.

There is only one person wrong there, you. God was not wrong, nor was Paul. YOU are wrong by rejecting the Word of God.

 

[Bob Estey]

So Bob gets to decide what is Bible based on what he agrees with.

It isn't the Bible I give allegiance to. It's God I give allegiance to. You will never find me disagreeing with anything God or Jesus are quoted as saying in the Bible.

It's like "Do not steal." How many ways can you interpret "Do not steal"?

God is never wrong, but I think occasionally Paul was wrong.

 

[reformed1689]

It's God I give allegiance to.

Yet you reject his word.

 

[reformed1689]

God is never wrong, but I think occasionally Paul was wrong.

Based on what? What makes you so wise that you say Paul wasn't writing that line under the inspiration of God? What an arrogant fool!

 

[reformed1689]

I never disagree with anything God or Jesus are quoted as saying in the Bible.

You clearly disagree with keeping God's commandments which Jesus said.

 

[Bob Estey]

Based on what? Jesus told us to love one another. How can you love a woman if you forbid her to speak in a church building?

 

[Bob Estey]

You clearly disagree with keeping God's commandments which Jesus said.

I try to keep all of God's and Jesus's commandments. I don't think Paul, or any other human, has the authority to issue commandments.

 

[Bob Estey]

You clearly disagree with keeping God's commandments which Jesus said.

By the way, Jesus warned us about insulting each other (Matthew 5:22). You've insulted me several times.

 

[reformed1689]

No, I never disagree with anything he or Jesus are quoted as saying in the Bible.

I got news for you, the Word of God is more than the Red letters.

 

[reformed1689]

By the way, Jesus warned us about insulting each other (Matthew 5:22). You've insulted me several times.

No, I have spoken truth. There is a difference. If you were insulted, that's because you do not like the light of the truth.

 

[reformed1689]

I don't think Paul, or any other human, has the authority to issue commandments.

Paul didn't, God did. You don't believe the Bible was inspired do you? Heretic.

 

[reformed1689]

Based on what? Jesus told us to love one another. How can you love a woman if you forbid her to speak in a church building?

Did it say church building? No. You added that in and are completely oblivious to the cultural/historical context of the passage.

 

[Bob Estey]

I got news for you, the Word of God is more than the Red letters.

I don't think so. The Bible has all kinds of valuable stuff, but I think the Word of God are just those instances God and Jesus are quoted.
