wow. I predicted correctly. You failed to address the bible verse.
You mostly hem and haw. Typical splendour conversation:
Splendour says X
Someone says "I believe that's incorrect because of A, B and C. Please address"
Splendour - "Here's a weblink to the shape of the pyramids." or "Chinese are chauvinists too. Here's a link of Footbinding" etc.
You define 'heming and hawing'
Once again... We're discussing a specific quote from the Bible says. Perhaps you couldn't read it? Is it so hard for you to just address the specifics that people ask you?
Let's try one more time. (1) What do you think this means? Without adding or subtracting from this passage, please tell us in lay man's terms what this means. I'm going to assume you are incapable of doing so but I might be delightfully suprised.
Quote:
I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over an man; rather, she is to remain quiet
(2) If you can understand this passage, please explain why it doesn't apply to you. (I'm going to predict you fail to answer #1 so asking a followup question is ambitious of me, but I'm trying to be an optimist.)

Oh and as an unbeliever you're unbelief disqualifies you from explaining scripture to believers. It's like accepting coaching from the opponent team's coach at the Super Bowl
No its not. We're looking at simple passages that we're reading in simple english. There's nothing complicated about it. You're just making excuses for one of three things... the meaning of the passage alludes you and you don't want to admit it (very likely) OR you know that you're disobeying it and you can't follow god's word OR you disagree with god's word.
Prediction: more excuses and complete failure to logically address any question or point... how wonderful if I was wrong for once.
