I’m not a Bible thumper or anything, but how do you ignore where the Bible talks about the role of women and what women should be doing in a church and still call yourself a Christian?
How does a man take instruction about God from a woman, when man was made in the image of God and woman was not? And when the order of God puts women below men? You’d think there might be some level of embarrassment there…
It’s just mind blowing what people are doing and pretending is Christianity. Whatever it is, it’s straight from the pits of hell.
It's ironic really. Everything that doesn't state women's superiority is just ignored or modified so it does. Regardless of historical relevance or how integral to society that belief is.
I forgot to mention my favorite one, and you’ll like this. This one really shocked me when I found out. Go read Genesis. I was always taught that Adam and Eve were both to blame for eating the fruit of the tree of knowledge, but then I actually read the story.
God is angry with Eve for eating the fruit, true, but he was angry at Adam for listening to the woman!!! It legit shocked me because no one ever mentioned that, not any priests or anything, and I went to Bible study.
God cursed Adam for listening to a woman. Yet look at what men are doing today. How the hell can you have a female preacher after reading that? Easy, you never read the Bible for yourself.
I'll be honest, I never really read the Bible. Growing up with a Catholic extended family, I of course owned one and went to Easter events, did the stations of the cross etc. But I never bothered reading it. Seemed like it would take a long time and not serve me that well for it.
I wonder if this inconvenient fact is removed in new translations.
I don’t think you need to read the Bible to know God or anything like that. It’s just a good roadmap to find your way back to him if you are lost.
You don’t want to read it to remember anything, as that’s what the Bible thumpers do. Intellectuals don’t know God, they only know about him. (it even says in the Bible that God likes to use foolish things to confound the wise, because God and this world are at odds with one another)
I just pick it up from time to time and read parts of it. I always find some hidden gem, and I think that’s just God knowing what I need at that moment and teaching me.
Other times I learn directly because he just shows me. I always thought it didn’t make sense for God to communicate through text alone. He is God. Then I learned about the Holy Spirit and it all made sense. We have a direct connection to him.
You know those “aha” moments where things click and you just know something to be true without being able to explain it? It’s just this deep sense in your gut that you know what needs to be done? That is God communicating with us.
I wonder if this inconvenient fact is removed in new translations.
I wouldn’t be surprised. The new ones teach that God is female lol, and promote homosexuality as good, at least from my understanding. I stick with King James, but I’m not a snob. I don’t think any Bible is perfect.

It's an accusation against a woman, so you already know the hostility is real.
