      1 Timothy 2:

      8 I desire therefore that the men in every place pray, lifting up holy hands without anger and doubting.

      Bonus sexism later in the same chapter:

      11 Let a woman learn in quietness with full submission. 12 But I don’t permit a woman to teach, nor to exercise authority over a man, but to be in quietness.

        Keeping in mind this duty of love, and building on the preceding verse (21) that introduces this passage in Ephesians—“Be subject to one another out of reverence for Christ”— John Paul II interpreted these passages slightly differently: in a context of “mutual submission.”

        Although there’s an apparent contradiction in such language, since two people or things can’t be “put under” each other in the same respect, in this understanding we can interpret submission not as an ordering of authority but as the mutual regard and self-giving love that both husband and wife must practice in marriage. Paul is simply expressing that idea in two different ways, corresponding to the analogy of marriage with the relationship between Christ and his Church.

        also, the first verse is just calling everyone in the world to pray

          but as the mutual regard and self-giving love that both husband and wife must practice in marriage.

          Absolute bullshit. The bible is relentlessly misogynistic.

              No, you didn’t.

              Why does Eve get the blame for the snake’s lie when both she and Adam agreed to eat the fruit?

              Why are women expected to be submissive to their husbands? You disgustingly pretend it’s a two-way street, but it’s not. The bible disproportionately favors men.

              Why can’t women preach?

              Why were daughters considered property?

                  She doesn’t, the blame is equally divided

                  Fucking liar.

                  Genesis 3:

                  12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

                  13 Yahweh God said to the woman, “What have you done?”

                  16 To the woman he said,

                  “I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. You will bear children in pain. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

                  17 To Adam he said,

                  “Because you have listened to your wife’s voice,

                  Explicitly, Eve gets the blame, and Adam is chastised for listening to a woman.

                  Its a two way street

                  No, it is not. The old testament includes many laws for women that do not apply to men, such as being compelled to marry their rapist.

                  1 Peter 3:

                  In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word, 2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.

                  Does he mention husbands in the same chapter? Why, yes! And it confirms that women are inferior:

                  You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman as to the weaker vessel

                  Stop ignoring misogyny. Stop serving a death cult.

                  Church doctrine and tradition

                  But it has always been wrong. So why does it continue?

                  they werent

                  They were. They were bought and sold. Non-virgins were treated like defective goods.

                  The more you defend the heinous shit, the more intolerable you reveal yourself to be.

                    1. Genesis 3:17 Yet truly, to Adam, he said: “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, from which I instructed you that you should not eat, cursed is the land that you work. In hardship shall you eat from it, all the days of your life.

                    Adam is at fault for being tempted into sin.

                    1. Verse?

                    1 Peter 3:2 as they consider with fear your chaste behavior.

                    Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter toward them.

                    1. It has not been wrong

                    2. Verse?
