Intelligence get levels and it takes highly and super highly intelligent and holy spirit filled folks to interpret and practice the will of the most high. The fool says in his heart that there is no God.

What an intelligent people.

Op you forgot that people don't read their bible or if they read they don't understand. How can you read the book of proverbs and the book of James and someone calling himself a man of God would con you? Impossible.

Chioma,
Voicing this statement without proof is one of the fallacious statements embedded in the Bible. As I always advise Christians learn to read your Bibles. Do not listen to what your pastor says.
In conclusion NO WOMAN who has ever read the Bible and understands what she read can EVER want to be a Christian or ever try to defend the Bible which is one of the most SEXIST books ever written with the aim to keep women subjugated.

The bible was influenced by the culture and tradition of the writers. That is one of the reasons I don't believe it's divinely inspired. Paul's language against women was just too harsh. If he is to write the letters in this 21st century, his letters will have been different.

1 Corinthians 14:34-35 KJV
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. [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.

Chioma probably does not realise she is committing a sin according to the Bible by trying to preach to men.
According to the Bible women are to be SILENT .lipsrsealed

Nah, Christians would probably flip flop as usual and explain it away as God working in a mysterious way as usual. In fact the Christian women will be more vocal defending the sexism.

That's the reason you need to allow your understanding of what you read to evolve into 21st century thinking. Some bits are not "do as you're told bits" but "Yuk! Look how barbaric they were" bits that are meant to disgust and show you shouldn't emulate.

Arguments with some of them is a complete waste of your time. Just like consistently banging your head on a concrete wall.

Or, Chioma rightly knows the Bible is a human made image of God, and is not God!

Serves you right really for "consistently banging your head on a concrete wall". It doesn't exactly show you're intelligent!

Perhaps try reasoning instead of arguing. It's what intelligent people do.

So in this silly logic of yours,you cherry pick what each Bible passage means. Let me take my leave before you make me think I am banging my head on a stone wall.

Christians, that I know, believe in biblical inerrancy.

"It's dangerous to believe some parts are wrong. It makes everything questionable."
