Someone brought up some of Paul's commandments to women in the bible and so I checked it myself.
In 1 Corinthians 11:3-6 Paul says women rank below men and are supposed to keep their heads covered in church and if they refuse to do so, they have to have their heads shaved.
Also in 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 Paul forbids women from even speaking in church at all. He says it is a SHAME for a woman to open her mouth in church.
Then in 1 Timothy 2:9 Paul said that women are to dress "with shamefacedness" and cannot braid their hair, wear gold, or pearls, or costly array.
In Chapter 2:11-12 Paul said a woman must NEVER teach or have authority over a man.
He then goes on to blame the downfall of mankind on women and say that the way women are saved is through, "childbearing" in 1 Timothy 2:14-15.
Now this is NT not OT, so you cannot say it does not apply to you. Do any of you actually apply this literally to your life? If not, why not?
