But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin
Sorry - but first - "He" is a MYTH - no blood - no purification - no a real person to begin with - and YOU cannot prove otherwise
THen - there are THOUSANDs of competing sects of your religion - who do not have a fellowship with each other.
The majority of THEISTS in the world do not worship "him"
And in Western countries - the few that still do - are getting less and less - and that fraud is eventually going to become extinct.
1 Timothy 2 - Because it Contradicts the religion on the most basic belief - and also IS obviously SEXIST nosnese as well
I urge, then, first of all, that petitions, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for all people— 2 for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3 This is good, and pleases God our Savior, 4 who wants all people to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth. 5 For there is one God and one mediator between God and mankind, the man Christ Jesus, 6 who gave himself as a ransom for all people. This has now been witnessed to at the proper time. 7 And for this purpose I was appointed a herald and an apostle—I am telling the truth, I am not lying—and a true and faithful teacher of the Gentiles.
8 Therefore I want the men everywhere to pray, lifting up holy hands without anger or disputing. 9 I also want the women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, adorning themselves, not with elaborate hairstyles or gold or pearls or expensive clothes, 10 but with good deeds, appropriate for women who profess to worship God.
11 A woman[a] should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man;[b] she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women[c] will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
The passage CLEARLY says that there is ONE GOD - and the Christ is a MAN (See 5 above)- and a mediator between God and other men. (AND it meant MEN - not humans) - the christ is NOT god.
And it also clearly says that women should not have any place of power or control over men - or to teach men. ANd IT does so by quoting the Old Testament FAIRY TALE - of EDEN which we KNOW is NOT true.
