Some sects, such as your own, have decided that women being silent in church and not leading men was a cultural issue no longer relevant today. For others, they read this as being an unchanging rule across time and cultures. To take another commonly argued area, your sect still sees homosexual activity as sinful, whereas others see the biblical stand against this as being a cultural thing at that time and not applicable to modern, committed same-sex relationships. In years past slavery was easily justified through scripture, yet now it is almost completely condemned as wrong. <br /><br />So really it's just a matter of pick and choose as you read and interpret the bible - if it suits you and your sect to make it a cultural issue then do so, if not make it a rule for all time. Which is one of the many reasons that I find it hard to hang onto the remnants of my Christian faith - most Christians are convinced that their version is the right one, but the reality is that none of you have any idea if you are right or wrong about anything.Jacknoreply@blogger.com
