Divine Inspiration

[FallentoReason]

I saw the responses Darkstar gave you and I completely agree, so I won't repeat myself, except for this bit:

I do not see gender when questions are asked I only see a hungery soul looking to be nourshied. For all I know you are a female and I have readily provided an answer to your questions. I have done this for the known males and females in this Forum. I have also taught classes and had women ask questions, and i have answered them. Even so, I do and can see why this can be considered to be a problem.

As you can imagine my 'take' on christianity does not fit most denominational doctrines. In one instance I said something that contradicted this womans beliefs and she asked a question i quickly returned with a biblical answer, to which it became very personal to her and counted it as a personal attack against her when I corrected her theology. I did not mean any disrespect to her personally even though she took it that way. I then spent the rest of my time trying to calm her back down. In that instance this woman needed the personal attention her husband could have given her.

Likewise my wife was apart of a similar situation and was 'corrected.' to which she got very angry at how she was 'corrected.' I wished that she just asked me, but at the same time i have no issue with her engauging herself in a given study if she can leave her pride at the door.

That said I know what the bible says, and I know what i have done is wrong. No appologies no excuses. i am now subject to the same grace and attonement that covers all other sin. If not then I will have Hell to pay for my actions.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like you're justifying Paul's sexism by saying that women become emotionally unstable when they're shown they are wrong. I don't know how you could think that makes it any better, but we'll roll with it for now.

I don't see how you can be on Paul's side but at the same time continue to act as if it's not a part of doctrine. Why do you answer women's questions? You should point them to the "book, chapter and verse" that says what they're doing is wrong and tell them to be on their way (i.e. go ask your husband). Clearly "God's Righteousness" isn't what drives you nor is it the Holy Spirit. You have identified a man's opinion from the 1st century Roman Empire which is clearly sexist, doesn't fit into today's society and have decided to override "infallible scripture". My advice to you is to take the stance of the moral relativist. That is, accept something as morally right if, and only if, the society accepts that as being morally right. Therefore Paul's words can be said to be sexist but because that's the society he lived in, it is therefore morally right. The only problem with this view is two things:

a) It means his teachings can't be applied anymore (because our society isn't ok with sexism).
b) Hence, according to 'a' (surprise surprise) the Bible is fallible.

I don't think any other moral ethics stance can justify how it's ok for Paul to say that.

oh p.s. I'm a guy. Not that it matters really...

Oh woops, I forgot to answer this bit:

Then you need to show me where the pentatuch was only written by Moses. Or are you mixing church tradition with the bible interchangably?

Since I'm not the one making radical claims, the issue isn't with me but with you about 'interchangeability'. Clearly you see it as impossible that Moses could write Deuteronomy, but at the same time you think it's ok to accept tradition when it comes to the authorship of the Gospels. What's it going to be?
