The only response to the "Christian" Republican Housewife for NJ

[Perky]

"Umm excuse me but....Do you honestly think Jesus Christ believes the way you do? If you honestly think that he does. I would humbly submit that you need to read the Gospels again, you bombastic, hateful pharisee. Your statements do great harm to the cause of Christ. If you are not sure... then how dare you associate His name with your opimions?"

"Your beliefs are your entitltement as an American. Your opinions are howver repugnant to God."

5. "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach...

"Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." 2:11-12



Also:

Women in 1 Timothy

1. Women are to dress modestly, "with shamefacedness" -- "not with braided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array." 2:9

2. "Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence." 2:11-12

3. Men are superior to women since Adam was made before, and sinned after, Eve. But even though women are inferior to men, they shouldn't be discouraged because they shall "be saved in childbearing." 2:14-15

4. "A bishop must be ... the husband of one wife." Apparently, it's OK for laymen to have several. 3:2

5. Real widows are "desolate" and pray "night and day." But those widows that experience pleasure are "dead while live." 5:5-6

6. You should help a widow only if she 1) is over 60 years old, 2) had only one husband, 3) has raised children, 4) has lodged strangers, 5) has "washed the saints feet," 6) has relieved the afflicted, and 7) has "diligently followed very good work." Otherwise, let them starve. "But the younger widows refuse : for ... they will marry; having damnation." Besides the young widows are always idle tattlers -- "busybodies, spreading things which they ought not." He adds that "some are already turned aside after Satan." 5:9-15

10. this is waaaayyyyyy off topic but

it was also 1950 years ago and has to be understood in the context of the culture.

The few souls to day who agree with Paul's sentiments do so in part because of a false slippery slope concern that cultural relativism means everything iin the NT and certainlty the OP is up for grabs.

There is a balance here and the CHurch will never figure it out or agree on what that balance might be.

9. Well she was right. She doesn't care.

And that is the problem. If you don't care what you do to other people you are teaching them not to care what they do to you. I think there is something about a rule of Gold or a Golden rule or whatever that addresses that issue.

11. Don't you find it odd ...

that Jesus didn't have the wherewithal to create permanent, irrefutable proof of his divinity. It would have prevented so much death and destruction in proving it by hearsay, coercion, intimidation or blind faith.

12. Sorry, but this is by a political speechwriter and 'freelance columnist' named

Doug Patton. It was circulated widely in 2005 and was fist published on that well-known web site, gopusa.com.
