[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5930039, member: 24302"] It would also help if you understand the context in which it's written. The Apostle Paul when writing to the Galatians was writing to congregations that were divided by former religions as well as ethnicity. He wasn't trying to change the whole world with that verse. We make a mistake when we apply our modern culture to verses written at that time. It's why Biblical scholars research the meaning and nuances of the Hebrew and Greek languages. Today we have women voting, living independently of men, wearing revealing clothing, etc. We see a verse like the one you cited and some think that confirms that the early Church was 100% behind what people want today. But as the verse in 1 Corinthians shows the concept of women being totally equal with men at that time was as foreign to them as if a spaceship landed from Mars. Try as we might some of today's mores can't be justified using the Bible. [/QUOTE]
