Answer 1

Why bible wants to fit the Silencer on the mouth of Woman when men love to hear sighs of woman?
I Timothy 2:11-14. "Let the women 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."
Another case where the Bible makes it quite clear that women live for man and must submit to them. "Man enjoys the great advantage of having a god endorse the code he writes; and since man exercises a sovereign authority over women it is especially fortunate that this authority has been vested in him by the Supreme Being. For the Jews and Christians among others, man is master by divine right; the fear of God will therefore repress any impulse towards revolt in the downtrodden female." (Read also I Cor. 11:3-12, I Cor. 14:34-36, I Peter 3:1-7, Ephesians 5:22-24, Col. 3:18-19.

Stone The Woman!
Deuteronomy 22:22."If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her;" Deuteronomy 22:24."Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour's wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you." (Read also Deuteronomy 22:13-21). The discovery of a bride lying with another man can yield disastrous results.

According to bible, are women cash crop and property of men?
"If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel's father fifty shekels of silvers, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days." (Deuteronomy 22:28-29)
If the wife's parents can produce tokens of the damsel's virginity and spread the cloth before the elders of the city, the husband has to pay the bride's father one hundred silver shekels and he may not send his wife back to her parents as long as she lives. But if the bride's virginity does not satisfy the requirements, the husband can get rid of her by letting the men of the city stone her to death. From a practical level, these designed laws regulating women's virginity protected economic transactions between men rather than for the sake of morality.
The belief some get about the Biblical law leads to protect men's property rights of their wives and daughters.
This law says that since an unmarried girl, a non-virgin, no longer serves as an economically valuable asset, her father must receive compensation. As for the legal requirement of the man that caused the economic problem, his marriage in that society gave him practically unlimited power over their wives. Such forced marriage can hardly serve as a concern for the poor girl's welfare.

Wives, Submit Yourselves before husband.
Ephesians 5:22-24."Wives, submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, even as Christ is the head of the church: and he is the saviour of the body. Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in everything."
These words of Paul describe another instance for the calling of the submission of women to their husbands. Note that the all inclusive "everything" could allow husbands to submit their wives to anything, including rape, beatings, slavery, etc. See also I Cor. 11:3-12, I Cor. 14:34-36, I Timothy 2:8-15, I Peter 3:1-7, Col. 3:18-19.

According to Bible, Why women are forbidden to speak in churches?
I Corinthians 14:34 "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."
If one ever wishes to find an explanation of woman's inferiority to men, one only has to look in the Bible. Paul makes clear and delineates the importance of woman recognizing her place, "ad nauseam." (See also I Cor. 11:3-12, I Timothy 2:8-15, I Peter 3:1-7, Ephesians 5:22-24, Col. 3:18-19.)

Has woman brought sin and death into this world? Is woman fall of race?
I Corinthians 14:35."The bible teaches that women brought sin and death into the world, that she precipitated the fall of the race, that she was arraigned before the judgment seat of Heaven, tried, condemned and sentenced. Marriage for her was to be a condition of bondage, maternity a period suffering and anguish, and in silence and subjection, she was to play the role of a dependent on man's bounty for all her material wants, and for all the information she might desire... Here is the Bible position of woman briefly summed up."
If one ever wishes to find an explanation of woman's inferiority to men, one only has to look in the Bible. Paul makes clear and delineates the importance of woman recognizing her place, "ad nauseam." (See also I Cor. 11:3-12, I Timothy 2:8-15, I Peter 3:1-7, Ephesians 5:22-24, Col. 3:18-19.)

Why bible wants to multiply the sorrows of woman manifold?
Genesis 3:16. "Unto the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over thee." Not only does the Woman get blamed for the Fall, but God decides to multiply her sorrow, plus, she must submit to her husband like a slave. Religionists have used this verse as justification and "reason" for the pain and punishment (sin) of childbirth and the sin of mankind. And to this day many Christians and Jews place women lower then men in the ranking of Godly order. If ever there existed a more cruel justification against women, it could not have done as much damage as from belief in Genesis 3:16. Because of the belief in the Fall, countless Christians have branded the entire human race as depraved.

"Christianity teaches that the human race is depraved, fallen, and sinful."
Why Bible want to rip up rebellious woman. Which one bible believer woman is not rebellious now a days?
Hosea 13:16. "Samaria shall become desolate; for she hath rebelled against her God: they shall fall by the sword: their infants shall be dashed in pieces, and their women with child shall be ripped up."
Throughout the Bible, God smites those who do not believe in him or those who do not follow his commands. Here we have the grotesque description of infants dashed to pieces and pregnant women ripped up. Whatever rebellious nature an infant's father or mother may have had, it bears no justice to an innocent child or to an unborn fetus who could not possibly have rebelled against God, much less understood him. Anyone who claims to love such a God, must accept infanticide as one of God's ugly revenges.(See also Psalms 137:9)

Why Bible try to change the gender of shameless woman, from female to male gender?
Sirach.26:25. "A shameless woman shall be counted as a dog; but she that is shamefaced will fear the Lord."

According Bible, Is Wicked woman have equal to plague of heart?
Sirach 25:13. "Give me any plague, but the plague of the heart: and any wickedness, but the wickedness of a woman."

If woman is beginning of sin, then man is its end?
Sirach. 25:22."Of the woman came the beginning of sin, and through her we all die."

Cut the hands of woman and divorce because she is woman?
"If she go not as thou wouldest have her, cut her off from thy flesh, and give her a bill of divorce, and let her go." (Sirach 25: 26)

Bible declares that hooker can be known by haughty looks, eyelids and garments. Do hookers and promiscuous women wear such biblical makeup and garments?
Sirach 26:9-10. "The whoredom of a woman may be known in her haughty looks and eyelids. If thy daughter be shameless, keep her in straitly, lest she abuse herself through overmuch liberty."
"For from garments cometh a moth, and from women wickedness. Better is the churlishness of a man than a courteous woman, a woman, I say, which bringeth shame and reproach." (Sirach 42:13-14)

Answer 2

I'm sorry, where is this bit about angels lusting?

At any rate, to answer your questions:

1. Jesus is part of God. If you know anything about Christian theology you know that God is three persons in one (like the famous illustration of the shamrock -- three leaves create one thing, each separate but neccessary to the whole). Therefore when the Bible speaks of God in the passage you're refering to, it's refering to God the Father being the head of Jesus the Son, two persons within the whole of God Himself.

2. As other people have pointed out, you really have to read the entire Bible, not just rely on youtube for your information. You mention a few places where women are "degraded" in the Bible. What about:

-Deborah, who lead all of Israel (Judges 4)
-Esther, who single-handedly saved her people (Esther)
-Mary the Mother of God
-Mary sister of Lazarus, the first to recognize Jesus as the Messiah (John 11:27)
-Mary Magdalene, in ALL FOUR GOSPELS, the first person to see Jesus after the ressurection
-Priscilla, an early church leader who accompanied Paul on missions and worked in the early church (Acts 18)

So women are also given a lot of work and credit in scripture. In addition, there is some compelling evidence that Corinthians 14:34 is a later addition -- check out this website if you're interested:

Answer 3

A woman, is The Light. (1% of the universe)

But a man, is The Dark Matter. (99% of the universe)

There's no Love, in the dark matter, without The Light!

Answer 4

The Bible reflects the culture of the times in which it was written.
More evidence that it was written by humans and is not the inspired word of God.
.

Answer 5

It's common in all patriarchal religions. When you leave out the archetypical feminine you lose the reasonableness of belief. If you really notice, they degrade anyone that isn't of equal belief. Sad, and totally unnecessary.
