You're just incredibly full of yourself. I read the Bible for edification; I find your posts replete with errors and misunderstanding, and I find nothing whatsoever edifying in them. You're still promoting your own threads in the vain hope that someone will be "edified" yet you completely...

If I understand you correctly, you’re addressing the practice of praying out loud, but speaking words of correction during the prayer, to be heard by the intended correctee? I’ve heard parents do this, and I’ve heard pastors do this. It’s manipulative at best. Both parents and pastors need to...

You are deeply confused about the degree of importance your threads hold.

There are (at least) two things at work in such situations. The first is the Christian's well-intentioned attempt to bring biblically sound correction, which may be valid but ill-timed, inappropriate to the context, or framed in a bunch of other junk. The second is the recipient's brokenness or...

That's all good and valid. I'm not sure why you're bringing it up though; the topic is the restriction on women's roles in the Church.

Sorry to hear that. I have observed some terrible treatment of women (and I don't even mean "abusive") that was justified with the misuse of Scripture.

Thanks for clarifying. I misunderstood you as well. My apologies.

Yes. However, Christ died for the Church before ruling her. That has bearing as well. ;)

Stuffed crust. 😎

Has it occurred to you that Genesis 3:16 (and the rest of God's words to Adam and Eve) were statements of certain consequence rather than judgment? If a person jumps out of a flying airplane without a functional parachute, their sudden and likely fatal landing is not a judgment; it's a...

I suspect, as with most people, you haven't read Genesis 3 anywhere near carefully enough. Nowhere else in Scripture is a law given to someone who will be the passive recipient of the action of that law. God did not say to the animals, "Man will rule over you." He does not say to the Amorites...

It doesn’t say the the woman would be in submission; it says that he will rule over her. They are very different.

I respect your right to your opinion, but I strongly disagree with you.

Could you please explain your understanding of Genesis 3:16. You refer to it twice but don’t explain what you think it means.

Wow. I have no words.

Welcome to CC, Ex-Tex! :)

Welcome to CC, Amy! Not a fan of YA fiction (never was, even when I was a teen in the '80's) but glad to have you aboard. :)

How would anyone else know what you were thinking? That's just wacky. Maybe you haven't spent enough time interacting with other people; you certainly don't seem to get the concept of answering straightforward questions with straightforward answers.

Not ‘sleepy’ perhaps, but dopey. I can’t take any of those because the side effects are far worse than the symptoms themselves.

Yes, and? How does this support your previous post?
