1 Timothy 2:1-12 King James Version

  1. I exhort therefore, that, first of all, supplications, prayers, intercessions, and giving of thanks, be made for all men;
  2. For kings, and for all that are in authority; that we may lead a quiet and peaceable life in all godliness and honesty.
  3. For this is good and acceptable in the sight of God our Saviour;
  4. Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth.
  5. For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
  6. Who gave himself a ransom for all, to be testified in due time.
  7. Whereunto I am ordained a preacher, and an apostle, (I speak the truth in Christ, and lie not;) a teacher of the Gentiles in faith and verity.
  8. I will therefore that men pray every where, lifting up holy hands, without wrath and doubting.
  9. In like manner also, that women adorn themselves in modest apparel, with shamefacedness and sobriety; not with broided hair, or gold, or pearls, or costly array;
  10. But (which becometh women professing godliness) with good works.
  11. Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection.
  12. But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

Yeah exactly, this is on brand for their beliefs. Still dumb as hell, but they're being consistent at least. Not sure why this is news tbh, this is a normal Wednesday for this group of people.

Yeah exactly, these are the words of God and dismiss them and scoff at your own peril

I mean, I'll dismiss them and scoff as I please, but I can recognize it isn't a hypocritical action they're taking in this case.

Oh, we're selectively quoting bible verses that suit us?
How about this then:

Mark.10 Verse 21
[21] Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
