Should man rule over women for women’s own good?

[Chas]

Except if you can interpret the book in any way you like, as you've said, then anything it says about "right and wrong" is utterly relative and largely useless, since two people could reach the opposite conclusion on any given problem. Example: Homosexuality. Some Christians say homosexuality is disordered, some Christians say homosexuality is not a disorder. They both can't be right.

Somethings are up for debate are arguement. Others are set in stone and can't really be interpreted any differently. This would be things such as salvation. Others, like homosexual marriage are debatable but it states clearly in the Bible homosexuality is a sin. Where I live homosexuality is not legal. This doesn't mean I view homosexuals with disrespect, I view them as equal. The Bible doesn't say certain sins are worse than others, everyone is the same.

Nope. There are many interpretations of salvation. You don't seem to know very much about Christianity.

No, I'm not trying to guess your name Carmen, what gave you that idea. Also, you're providing books that are garage-produced by a British evangelical minister, and not in any way academic or historical. Just because some arse (since he's British) claims something in his pet fantasy book doesn't make it evidence. If there exist these 24000 contemporary manuscripts (thats a lot of documents), you'd be able to find a better source than one whackjob's ad-hoc justification for his belief, which doesn't even try to hide the fact that's it's all pre-drawn conclusions. Where are the historical articles? Peer-reviewed dissertations? Literally anything besides "this one guy says so", please.

Well, to be honest I have completely forgotten what I am talking about. The Bible is all about faith, Jesus himself said that if he prefreformed miracles to certain people they still wouldn't. In oher words no matter what I say you are not going to believe me.

There are no NT manuscipts that are contemporaneous with the alleged events.

None, Nada. Zilch. Zip. There is nothing earlier than c.125 CE.
