As to OP's original comment: I'll be surprised if this passes. WAY too many religious strings attached to that.
Second, the post I quoted is incredibly ignorant and several things need to be pointed out about it.
First: "Corinthians" is not a book of the Bible. There is a 1st and a 2nd.
Second: addressing your FIRST out of context grab of scripture. If you bothered to do more than Google something about "God hates gays and women" and post up whatever nonsense you found, you COULD have read on or to understand the scripture, you would see that Paul was answering a question posed to him.
SECOND out of context, retarded grab of scripture. Women were known during that time t the church of Corinth to be disrupting the church for no reason except that they wanted a purely political piece of the pie. In fact, many of the disrupting women were known to not even be Christians, but rather, Non-Christian women going to church with their husbands and causing a rabble. Paul says in other places that there is no Jew or Gentile, no Male or Female IN CHRIST, implying perfect unity and harmony in Christ.
THIRD out of context, retarded grab of scripture. Read the beginning EPH 5:21, the header for that section of scripture which you quoted:
"Submit to one another out of reverence for Christ."
And the verse following the supposed verse commanding the subjugation of women:
Husbands, love your wives as Christ loved the church and gave Himself up for her.
Hate to break it to you champ, but Christ died for the Church. Husbands have an even more sacrificial duty to their wives than wives do to their husbands.
This verse is saying nothing more than "Everyone has different roles in the household. Wives, follow your husbands' leads, and husbands, always put your wives' needs ahead of your own."
FORTH out of context, retarded grab of scripture. Colossians, same as third. Just writing to a different church.
FIFTH: Once again, there is a 1st and 2nd Timothy. "Timothy" is not a book of the Bible. Here again, if you READ THE ENTIRE PASSAGE, the context is HARMONY. Men are to raise their hands without quarreling or anger. Women are to be modest. Paul is speaking about the broad picture of harmony by speaking to specific actions that are going on. This has NOTHING to do with the subjugation of women.
FINAL: First of all, the point of that passage has NOTHING to do with what you quoted. It was simply a ready example that Paul could draw on that every man would get.
Second, what are you trying to prove with this passage? That Women are bound to men but not likewise?
Matthew 19:9 "And I say to you, whoever divorces his wife, except for sexual immorality, and is married to another commits adultery."
The point of that passage is that the law is binding, and if you want to try to get to heaven, you had better be able to keep every last piece of it. Otherwise, you will not make it. This is an impossibility. Paul spent his life preaching largely to the Jews, because he was one. The Jews were a law abiding people. They thought that because they had God's law, that they were God's people and that they were going to heaven for it and nothing else. The part about being God's people was true. The rest, not so much. He was a learned, intellectual man with the equivalent of several degrees worth of Theological education. His point is to accept Christ and live under grace.
Nobody is going to read all of this, but oh well. Stop posting ignorant misquotations and misinterpretations of God's word.
Having the Bible be the most widely published and interpreted book in the world is a blessing and a curse. Blessing: more people who genuinely want to can learn about Jesus. Curse: anybody who feels like mucking with the words of God can.
Cliffs: You're wrong and Googled some stupid link about how the Bible supports hating gays and women without reading and understanding for your self.
PS: Where did ANY of those passages even mention Homosexuality?
