I'm not interested in your silly fallacious games.

You're welcome to your conclusions, but I would encourage you to tone down your arrogance. My conclusion is based on Scripture just as much as yours is.

I too have a problem believing God would write, "women keep silent in the churches..." when three chapters earlier, He specifically permitted them to speak in the churches (11:13-16). 1 Cor 14:35 cannot apply to all women, because many are not married and therefore could not ask their husbands...

I don't have to prove anything. I have a rational conclusion that follows the available evidence. You reject it based on the absence of particular evidence.

Yes, but it's the same sin, according to Leviticus 18:8: "“‘Do not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; that would dishonor your father." Both Reuben and Ham dishonoured their father by sleeping with his wife; that one was the younger man's mother is secondary to my point. Ham slept...

Very credible, considering that Reuben did the same thing with Jacob's wives. See Genesis 35:22 and 49:4.

Yes, the overwhelmingly common interpretation is that Nephilim were the result of such unions, not in existence before such unions. Perhaps you missed the "If"?

You're welcome to argue as you see fit, but first you must explain Genesis 6:1-4. Please, don't waste your time or mine with the "descendants of Seth" fallacy. When human beings began to increase in number on the earth and daughters were born to them, the sons of God saw that the daughters of...

As for the matter of corruption, God indeed has the power, but that doesn't mean He has stopped every attempt to do so. The Mormon and Jehovah's Witness "bibles" testify to that. As for the rest, it is always the responsibility of the reader to consider the word in light of its context...

If God truly did not want women in any leadership role, He would not have used Deborah, Hannah, Chloe, Prisca, or Junia in such roles. He would not have affirmed the importance of women in a patriarchal society. He would have not have allowed His word to have all the “restrictive “ passages...

We know that God created humans in His image. If God also created angels in His image, it is not unreasonable to conclude they could mate and produce offspring. Regardless, nowhere in Scripture is it stated that angels “could not” produce offspring if they mated with humans. Methinks you have...

Wow. Did you actually read Genesis 3 before writing your post, or did you rely on your faulty memory? There is far more said to the serpent and the nan than to the woman. The stated consequences seem far more serious for the serpent and the man than for the woman. If that weren’t enough, the...

Is it God’s fault that the misogynistic bias of men has resulted in translations that reinforce the subjugation of women? Language changes over time, and context is lost. That’s true for much of Scripture, and it is not anyone’s fault. The context is a personal letter, not a detailed reference tome.

It is quite unlikely that the Greek word “authentein” means “have authority over” in the normal sense. It is far more likely it has a specific culturally relevant meaning that is not obvious to 21st century English readers… or anyone else not in that particular culture.

How does this passage relate to your earlier claim that you quoted?

So now you call me a serpent? Wow, okay. Your character is showing.

“Midst” does not mean “exact centre”. As I don’t own science, your question is nonsensical. What atheistic scientists say is irrelevant.

Matthew 25:41 refutes your claims.

Your arrogance is astounding.

This isn’t the place for your debunked speculation regarding astronomy.
