It sounds sexist,,i'll say what most cannot.
1Co 14:34
Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.
1Co 14:35
And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home: for it is a shame for women to speak in the church.
There also that one about eve being fooled and not Adam,,,,,,,yes it would be a over generalization of interpretation.

There's a lot of evidence... you have chosen to ignore it. So if I show it to you... you will discount all of it.
Just like you read what you wanted out of my original post in this thread. I stated cases for both sexes to lead and be in leadership but you discounted them and disparaged me in the process.
And now you want more ammunition with which to disparage me? Think again. Use some of that logic you claim to own.

There is no evidence to ignore. You made an assertion that has absolutely no support in Scripture. Claiming there is a lot and showing none of it is weak.
I read your entire post. I addressed the points I wanted to address. I called "sexist" the sexist comment you made. Maybe you feel offended because you really are sexist. With your response, "Sucks to be you," I'd say my comment hit the mark, and you don't like the feeling of conviction.

I consider that the following verses of scripture are given to me.
Jhn 15:20, Remember the word that I said unto you, The servant is not greater than his lord. If they have persecuted me, they will also persecute you; if they have kept my saying, they will keep yours also.
1Jo 4:6, We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

It does, yet people change it every day to make it to say what they want. For example:
1 Timothy 2:9In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array; 10But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works. 11Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 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.
This is general teaching to the women at Ephesus. Yet V12 is continuously taken out of context to mean ministry while the context speaks only of their personal lifestyle & marriage. V12 speaks only to the marriage relationship, because it agrees with the man being the spiritual head of the household. Women aren't to try to be the spiritual heads, thus it is written.
