Again, they are not to cut their hair because it is glory to them. And secondly what are you talking about would not be praying but remaining silent? The two have nothing to do with one another. Remaining silent as in not talking among themselves and paying attention to the preacher, just as the men are to do. "Remaining silent" has nothing to do with praying or not praying. When one prays they do not "speak" they pray. |

The ONLY place(s) in the new testament that even mention their heads being covered is the following. 1 Corinthians 11:6 6 For if the woman be not covered, let her also be shorn: but if it be a shame for a woman to be shorn or shaven, let her be covered. And it is speaking of her hair. For her not to shave her head. And the reasons they should not shave their head is cause of the following. 1 Corinthians 11:15 15 But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. Because it is glory to her. |

Give a verse from the new testament that says women should have their head covered or anything along those lines. QUOTE: too late Cowboy...you already posted what you thought the passage meant..that women was not forceful as men and therefore why would God have them teach.... Yes, that's what I "thought" to have been the reason. But I don't live on assumptions, so I looked into it further and found that in their culture at that time, it was not permitted for a woman to speak in public. QUOTE: the bible is not about the culture...the bible is suppose to change any and all culture to fit the bible or the word of God...not the other way around in other words your culture will be assimulated...resistance is futile....we are Borg....oops...er... I meant Christians Incorrect. The bible is a collection of epistles, letters written to someone(s) for some reason or other for a specific reason. Again, when these epistles or "books" were written originally, the writer did not specifically intend for them to be all gathered together in one book. Again, most to all the different authors/people of and in the different books didn't even know one another, didn't even know the other even existed. And no, following the scriptures isn't about following the culture they had or assimilating. It's about learning the ways God wishes for us to be. That is why I have once again specifically said and brought to the attention of women having their heads covered was NOT a law from God. It was in THEIR culture. |

you were the one that gave "your own personal reasons" why women should remain silent in church and not teach".....I merely re-posted them .. so if you believe that re-posting your own posts is belittling you ...perhaps you should write to Mingle2 and suggest they eliminate the "quote option".....

Because church is where people go to learn and or teach eg., "preacher". Well since God set the man as the head of the house, why would he then have woman teach? Men in general, just the natural feature, are generally more aggressive and or well abrupt. They speak and or act with more force then women most usually. So therefore, he has the man teach.http://mingle2.com/topic/show/339822?page=5 post 16 your veiws clearly had nothing to do with culture and was clearly sexist ....they were so sexist that now you're making excuses and trying to find ways as to why you shouldn't have to follow New Testament law that was handed down by Jesus to one of his Apostles How is that sexist? I never said a woman can't do something, nor did I say women were of a lower level then men, or anything along those lines. Please come back when you learn how to discuss rather then trying to belittle people's beliefs and make the one discussing with you look stupid.

Now please do give a verse(s) that is specifically knowledge from God on this matter, if you wish to continue to think this. The "scriptures" were not written intending to be in one book. Heck, the authors of each book didn't even know each other. Some where hundreds of years apart from one another even just being in existence. The bible only includes the books, the one's that put the bible together thought needed to be included. There are many upon many scriptures that are not even included in the bible itself. It's about reading what is given, taking it to prayer, and allowing God to guide the rest. |

QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: Women have always been considered to be property (of men) and not much has changed even in today's modern world. Even today women are married off and traditionally the father gives her hand in marriage to the husband. She does not own herself. Yes this is tradition but it is ingrained into our modern society. Never had I even suspected this subconscious attitude until I was married (twice) and discovered an attitude coming from my "modern" husband(s) that I was property. If you are an independent woman and want to stay that way, I suggest you do not get married. Back in the Biblical days, it was almost required for a woman to be owned/married. I am sorry I ever got married. It was such a waste of time. I could have accomplished a lot in my life had I not wasted so much time married. QUOTE: Yes this is tradition but it is ingrained into our modern society. Never had I even suspected this subconscious attitude until I was married (twice) and discovered an attitude coming from my "modern" husband(s) that I was property. Women are not property persay. The father gives his daughter away to the husband. The father then holds no more responsibility over that woman and has given all responsibility over to the husband to make sure she has food, water, is taken care of in every way in that aspect, and is safe. Also you need to separate our "culture" of how this world/country is ran from it all. Cause by our society once someone is 18, their parents hold no more responsibility for them. That is not true. The parents are to ensure the child's safety and what not till the day they are dead. Thus when two are married, the dad gives this responsibility over to the husband. I know that women are not property. But if the father "gives" his daughter away to the husband that implies that the woman is property and assumes that she cannot take care of herself. She is like a pet that needs an owner to feed her and take care of her. Ridiculous. I would love to "separate our culture" from the old fashioned outdated religious traditions of 2000 years ago but guess what? The religions of the world keep shoving their crap onto society like it means something. It is time for change. The old religion is on its way out. It has no place in this culture so it needs to be gone. Traditions are meaningless and are still repeated like they mean something. Get rid of them. QUOTE: But if the father "gives" his daughter away to the husband that implies that the woman is property and assumes that she cannot take care of herself. She is like a pet that needs an owner to feed her and take care of her. Ridiculous. Aye, you're looking at it from the point of religion purely. It's not totally about "religion". When two are married, the woman leaves her family eg., her maiden name. And joins with the husbands family and thus why the woman changes her last name. Of course I am looking at it from the point of religion. That is what it is. That is what we are talking about. That is what this thread is about. Religion. Spiritual beliefs. The Bible. It is all about religion. A woman today does not "leave her family" and join her husbands family. That is traditional Biblical beliefs. It does not happen in this modern world. Ever here of Inlaws? So many times I see the woman's family supporting the woman's lasy husband who won't get a job, or raising their children he can't support. You are talking traditional Biblical ideas. That is not the reality of today's society. No not specifically talking about "todays" society. Heck, today's society isn't the same it was even 100 years ago and so on. I'm talking about the original purpose of marriage in or out of any affiliations with "religion". And you have to also keep in mind, women weren't' always as independent as they are now. It's only been fairly recently women have become indipendent, fairly recently in the comparison to the world. There were plenty of independent women in the past. However, the Church had a habit of killing women who were intelligent and outspoken. (This is true of the Catholic Church.) Women have been purposely suppressed and oppressed. Today, "independence" does not belong to either sex. It depends on the individual and that can be a man or a woman. So I think tradition should change. How would people react to a marriage ceremony where the Mother "gives her son in marriage" to the daughter, and the man changes his last name to the woman's. How strange would that seem? Point is, either way it makes no sense to think of any person as the property of another. Traditions need to change. QUOTE: How strange would that seem? Point is, either way it makes no sense to think of any person as the property of another. I totally agree. And keeping it in context of the more original discussion. Women were never and are never "property" in the Christian faith. The man has a lot of obligations to the woman through marriage. Weather he does it or not is irrelevant, has no bearing on the belief in itself. He was to love her and cherish her even more then himself. That is not "property" That is not "controlling" that is love and compassion. |

QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: I met a woman the other day who said she was the minister at a local Quaker church. So what about that? Have we abandoned the old testament yet? I hope so. Yes we have, the old testament/old covenant holds no power over us anymore. That is what Jesus came to fulfill, to complete, to bring to an end. If that were true, they the religions of the world would throw away the old testament and stop citing verses from it to justify their ridiculous religious ideas. And if that were true, there would be no connection between Jesus and the God of Abraham. The old testament is kept in the bibles for history. And better understand of the new testament, to understand the how's and why's of what has been done. And what do you mean there would be no connection between Jesus and the God of Abraham? Who do you think the God of Abraham is? Who do you think created this world? Who do you think created even man and woman. Jesus did. Jesus is the LORD God. It is also kept there for say the 7th Day Adventists. I have absolutely no idea why they believe the way they believe. But they do not believe Jesus to be the prophesied Son of God. They still follow the old testament/old covenant because they do not feel it's been fulfilled. They are still waiting for that promised messiah, which again they do not see Jesus as having been. I think you are talking about the Jews, not the 7th day Adventists. I could be wrong. I was unaware that they did not believe in Jesus. The Jews may as well. But the 7th day adventists do as well. They see Jesus as a "prophet" and not the promissed messiah. I have a 7th day adventist friend. |

QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: Women have always been considered to be property (of men) and not much has changed even in today's modern world. Even today women are married off and traditionally the father gives her hand in marriage to the husband. She does not own herself. Yes this is tradition but it is ingrained into our modern society. Never had I even suspected this subconscious attitude until I was married (twice) and discovered an attitude coming from my "modern" husband(s) that I was property. If you are an independent woman and want to stay that way, I suggest you do not get married. Back in the Biblical days, it was almost required for a woman to be owned/married. I am sorry I ever got married. It was such a waste of time. I could have accomplished a lot in my life had I not wasted so much time married. QUOTE: Yes this is tradition but it is ingrained into our modern society. Never had I even suspected this subconscious attitude until I was married (twice) and discovered an attitude coming from my "modern" husband(s) that I was property. Women are not property persay. The father gives his daughter away to the husband. The father then holds no more responsibility over that woman and has given all responsibility over to the husband to make sure she has food, water, is taken care of in every way in that aspect, and is safe. Also you need to separate our "culture" of how this world/country is ran from it all. Cause by our society once someone is 18, their parents hold no more responsibility for them. That is not true. The parents are to ensure the child's safety and what not till the day they are dead. Thus when two are married, the dad gives this responsibility over to the husband. I know that women are not property. But if the father "gives" his daughter away to the husband that implies that the woman is property and assumes that she cannot take care of herself. She is like a pet that needs an owner to feed her and take care of her. Ridiculous. I would love to "separate our culture" from the old fashioned outdated religious traditions of 2000 years ago but guess what? The religions of the world keep shoving their crap onto society like it means something. It is time for change. The old religion is on its way out. It has no place in this culture so it needs to be gone. Traditions are meaningless and are still repeated like they mean something. Get rid of them.

When two are married, the woman leaves her family eg., her maiden name. And joins with the husbands family and thus why the woman changes her last name. |

QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: QUOTE: I met a woman the other day who said she was the minister at a local Quaker church. So what about that? Have we abandoned the old testament yet? I hope so. Yes we have, the old testament/old covenant holds no power over us anymore. That is what Jesus came to fulfill, to complete, to bring to an end. If that were true, they the religions of the world would throw away the old testament and stop citing verses from it to justify their ridiculous religious ideas. And if that were true, there would be no connection between Jesus and the God of Abraham. The old testament is kept in the bibles for history. And better understand of the new testament, to understand the how's and why's of what has been done. And what do you mean there would be no connection between Jesus and the God of Abraham? Who do you think the God of Abraham is? Who do you think created this world? Who do you think created even man and woman. Jesus did. Jesus is the LORD God. It is also kept there for say the 7th Day Adventists. I have absolutely no idea why they believe the way they believe. But they do not believe Jesus to be the prophesied Son of God. They still follow the old testament/old covenant because they do not feel it's been fulfilled. They are still waiting for that promised messiah, which again they do not see Jesus as having been. |

Seriously? I doubt that a lot. Church today is a social club. But if that is the case, its a good thing I don't go to church. And that is there problem lol. Church isn't for going to to discuss what you had for dinner the night before. Church is a building set up to make it easy to congregate to worship God and be out of the elements eg., rain, snow, wind, sun, ect. The Preacher is only one person with one interpretation of the Bible. To say that only he is allowed to speak is ridiculous. That would mean that only that one preacher has a right to an opinion. I suppose that anyone who disagrees with him or her should leave the church. This is the reason there are so many different churches. People disagree and go create another church. Eventually every single individual person will be their own church. I am already there. I am my own preacher. And again that is the churches problem/fault. If they do no agree with his "teachings" why did they ordain him to be a preacher there? Preachers aren't suppose to preach their understanding of the scriptures, they are to deliver a message from God. If they do that or not is totally and entirely between them and God. If they have allowed Satan to deceive them so much they are spreading a false gospel, again that is totally between them and God. |
