Default Re: Paul's Uncomfortable Verses About Women

Sorry my friend Awoken. I removed the "Next?"

But I'm going to stick by this:

Our sister Nell is looking at this from a women's point of view in 2021. Maybe the great apostle Paul would be in disagreement with her in the middle of the first century. I cannot say for sure. The apostle Paul was a man of his time. We are now men and women of our time. What was not uncomfortable to the men of 1st century Corinth may seem to be very uncomfortable to a women in the 21st century Western world.

What was very comfortable to Watchman Nee in early to mid 20th century China may now be very uncomfortable to our sisters/women/girls in the third decade of 21st century America.

I am not placing comfort above the Word of God. I am placing the Word of God within the understanding and realities of us mere mortals in 2021. In my experience and observation, Christian men have a tendency to be super-spiritual/scriptural at the cost of our dear Christian sisters. And then when it suits us, we become the most practical of creatures on earth, and expect our sisters to be the super-spiritual/scriptural ones. Funny how that works
