Conservatives say the Bible is too Liberal

Quote:

2. Not Emasculated: avoiding unisex, "gender inclusive" language, and other modern emasculation of Christianity

Right! Those women need to know who's in charge!

(I just happen the like the lyricness ( not a word) of the king james version
and would never even read a "more concise version" or even a more modern one.)

The Bible clearly states that women should be submissive to their husbands...
because the husband is the head of the wife.
It also says that women should stay quiet in church
(and if they have any questions, they should ask their husband later).

A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing"if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.

From 1 Timothy 2.

1 Timothy 2: 13For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

14And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

15Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety.

Any preacher can express his own opinions about anything,
but Jesus did not give Paul authority to order us around.

Nevertheless osdavid, you did originally try to portray "Put up again thy sword into his place"
as some kind of endorsement of gun (sword) rights or something like that after responding
the image of Jesus holding a sword.

Actually he did just that.

Act 13:47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, [saying],
I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles,
that thou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends of the earth.

Your right it was some kind of gun, (take your word for what kind)
I stand corrected. shrugs Point remains the same.

To throw another scripture around:

2 Timothy 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.

The point is and remains that Jesus advises that if we don 't own a sword we shoud buy one (extrapolating to a gun, today)
even if we need to sell our coats to raise the cash to buy the sword or gun.

He advised no such thing and especially not in the passages cited a while back. (or was this really a joke?)

My point being that the Bible was not written by man's private interpretation or out of their own minds or "opinions." But written by the inspiration of God. So, when Paul said he suffered not a women teach that was inspired by God and not just a private preacher's belief since it is in the bible. Either that is true, or else either Paul is a liar and his accounts and Epistles should not have been in the mix

when the Bible was cobbled together or the whole bible is a lie.
