Picking and Choosing: Women Preachin’ the Word

1 Corinthians

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.

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.

 

My comment was recently deleted from a blog because I used this verse. The woman who posted the blog is a fan of Joyce Meyer, a female televangelist. She gave me the greatest reason a Christian could ever give – I took the verse out of context.

How? It seems to me that these verses are clear as day. This is going to be a regular blog. I am going to really focus on this picking and choosing from the Bible. Christians say this does not happen, but it is PRIMARY REASON for the development of thousands of denominations in the Christian religion.

Women CANNOT preach. They are not supposed to be leaders of a congregation. They are not even supposed to open their mouths. It seems to me that the Christian’s favorite argument is “you took that out of context.” Whatever, I am just preaching the good word.

Let me state that I do not have a problem with a woman preaching…well, that isn’t true. I have a problem with anyone preaching from an outdated book, and telling you that if you don’t believe it you will go to hell. To tell you the truth, I am a little disappointed that this is the best God could do. A friend of mine (see his blog here - K-Daddy’s Blog) says it is pretty embarrassing that the bible can be so boring. Apparently, god is smart enough to create people like Shakespeare and Twain, but not smart enough to get them to write his holy book that he wants everyone to follow.

 

 

Women, I am sorry I have to say this…but SHUT UP!!! Be submissive. Be a servant. Do what your husband tells you to do, and DO NOT ARGUE. I am going to close tonight with a few more verses. The Bible is much better at destroying itself than I am. I am also going to use ONLY the New Testament. Apparently, Christians argue all day long that they do not have to follow the Old Testament. I guess they got tired of murdering their own children.

 

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;

2:10But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.

2:11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.

 2:12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

2:14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

2:15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. 

 

5:9 Let not a widow be taken into the number under threescore years old, having been the life of one man.
5:10 Well reported of for good works; if she have brought up children, if she have lodged strangers, if she have washed the saints’ feet, if she have relieved the afflicted, if she have diligently followed every good work.

5:11 But the younger widows refuse: for when they have begun to wax wanton against Christ, they will marry;

5:12 Having damnation, because they have cast off their first faith.

 

Did you catch that…Ignore the young widow, because they have sensual desires that they place ahead of Christ. HAHA

 

There are SO many more, but I am way to lazy to post them.
