So, what exactly are you attempting to communicate?
You've thrown a lot of accusations out, but I'm not quite sure where they're founded in. I'm going to pray for you, Aussie friend. You sound like someone who has never really experienced peace.
I do not agree with Sharia law. I believe in making approaches in kindness, gentleness and meekness. Browbeating someone because they refuse to believe what I believe does not push the point across.
I think a few posts back you mentioned something about only being able to pay attention to what Je'sus said, but paying no attention to what his disciples said later.
To this effect I ask, if these disciples were good enough for Je'sus Himself, why would they not be good enough for you? Paul was a righteous man, and Peter was too (but he had one exceedingly foot-shaped mouth).
Friend, if you're living under the Spirit of God, you are not living under the law.
Quoting: Nothing 9906991 Don't pray for me...please... It is breaking a spiritual law... Plus I am not quite sure who you actually are praying to.
You are reading your Bible with one eye closed.
Remind yourself of how Jesus became frustrated at times because people just didn't get it!
The first considerations for you regarding Paul (Sorry this is long)
1.What did Jesus say in Matthew 23 about Pharisees.

Now I was only really interested in one of the Pharisees – Paul
Acts 23:6 “But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men and brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.”WOW! So now where does Paul show his true Pharisee colours? Remember Satan is rather tricky and devious according to you guys!
1 Corinthians 14:34-35 “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.
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.”Where did Jesus preach this? So by posting here as a woman are women breaking
a law, a commandment stated by Paul! I know he is wrong, but do you?
But there is more -
1 Timothy 2:11-14 “Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
For Adam was first formed, then Eve.
And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.”So if a woman is trying to teach a man, by posting here, they are also breaking
a law stated by Paul! I know he is wrong, but do you?
Paul was just a man! And yet he continued the discrimination against women for a further 2000 years and beyond!
1 Corinthians 11:6 For if a woman is not covered, let her also be shorn. But if it is shameful for a woman to be shorn or shaved, let her be covered. Where did Paul's righteousness disappear to?
Yes this one Pharisee has authorized 50% of the population to be discriminated against!
So if you believe Paul - should women stop talking on religious matters and only discuss things with their husbands?
I'm sure you have missed most of this in your studies BUT I am opening your closed eye.
Also note - Paul lied in 1 Timothy 2:11-14 to justify his oppression of women
“And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.”
What Adam didn't eat of the tree of knowledge of Good and Evil? Adam wasn't tempted? That is totally untrue!
Genesis 3:6 "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat." But there is an even bigger problem!
God gave Moses the Ten Commandments.
Jesus (the Son of God) gave two commandments although the first is re-stating Commandment 1 of the 10 commandments.
Mark 12:30-31 "And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.
And the second like it, is this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these." Are commandments laws? So much for not living under the law!
But hang on Paul a man, and a Pharisee (remind yourself about what Jesus thought of Pharisees in Matthew 23) says this –
1 Corinthians 14:37 “If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord.”Can a man make a commandment –
Answer NO! Paul certainly got a bit full of himself here. But no-one notices... Did you know he wrote these things?
If these are commandments from the Lord as Paul claims you had better by some shears to get those uncovered heads in Church shorn.
Jesus (the Son of God) made 1 extra commandment BUT Paul says all his instructions are commandments!
So you see your dilemma. Everything Paul said was a commandment from the Lord, he mentions "the law" when telling women to refer to their husbands only, and he teaches things Jesus never said. Should women be shorn?
So who do you believe Jesus or Paul?
If you believe in Jesus’, the Son of God's teachings over Paul’s teachings why hasn’t anyone pointed this out to you?
Why didn’t you notice these problems? If you didn't you are studying poorly.
Why didn't your Preacher teach you this vital information?
I didn't say don't pay attention to the disciples... I said men are often wrong.
Paul is obviously wrong but in his being wrong he wrongs 50% of the population in one fell swoop - WOMEN!
Do you still wish to maintain Paul's righteousness or is that just another Bible Babble word?
So here you have a set of books called the Bible where you can intimately study what Jesus (the Son of GOD says) is alleged to have said and yet you keep wanting to study and quote man.
May your eyes be opened so that you might see!
Please pray for yourself!
