I just showed you how it is not

[-] SnoopSqueak@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

No, you didn't.

Why does Eve get the blame for the snake's lie when both she and Adam agreed to eat the fruit?

Why are women expected to be submissive to their husbands? You disgustingly pretend it's a two-way street, but it's not. The bible disproportionately favors men.

Why can't women preach?

Why were daughters considered property?

  1. She doesn't, the blame is equally divided
  2. Its a two way street
  3. Church doctrine and tradition

She doesn't, the blame is equally divided

Fucking liar.

Genesis 3:

12 The man said, “The woman whom you gave to be with me, she gave me fruit from the tree, and I ate it.”

13 Yahweh God said to the woman, “What have you done?”

16 To the woman he said,

“I will greatly multiply your pain in childbirth. You will bear children in pain. Your desire will be for your husband, and he will rule over you.”

17 To Adam he said,

“Because you have listened to your wife’s voice,

Explicitly, Eve gets the blame, and Adam is chastised for listening to a woman.

Its a two way street

No, it is not. The old testament includes many laws for women that do not apply to men, such as being compelled to marry their rapist.

1 Peter 3:

In the same way, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands, so that, even if any don’t obey the Word, they may be won by the behavior of their wives without a word, 2 seeing your pure behavior in fear.

Does he mention husbands in the same chapter? Why, yes! And it confirms that women are inferior:

You husbands, in the same way, live with your wives according to knowledge, giving honor to the woman as to the weaker vessel

Stop ignoring misogyny. Stop serving a death cult.

Church doctrine and tradition

But it has always been wrong. So why does it continue?

they werent

They were. They were bought and sold. Non-virgins were treated like defective goods.

The more you defend the heinous shit, the more intolerable you reveal yourself to be.

  1. Genesis 3:17 Yet truly, to Adam, he said: “Because you have listened to the voice of your wife, and have eaten of the tree, from which I instructed you that you should not eat, cursed is the land that you work. In hardship shall you eat from it, all the days of your life.

Adam is at fault for being tempted into sin.

  1. Verse?

1 Peter 3:2 as they consider with fear your chaste behavior.

Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter toward them.

  1. It has not been wrong

  2. Verse?

[-] SnoopSqueak@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Adam is at fault for being tempted into sin.

No, he's at fault for listening to his wife. Is Eve at fault for listening to the snake? No, she gets blame directly.

Stop defending misogyny.

Verse?

Read your own goddam bible. And again, use full sentences. I have to do twice as much work figuring out what verse you're even asking for. Fucking shitstain.

Deuteronomy 22:

28 If a man finds a lady who is a virgin, who is not pledged to be married, grabs her and lies with her, and they are found, 29 then the man who lay with her shall give to the lady’s father fifty shekels of silver. She shall be his wife, because he has humbled her. He may not put her away all his days.

Do you know how I found that? I typed "rape victims sold to rapists verse" into a search engine. So easy, even you could probably do it.

1 Peter 3:2 as they consider with fear your chaste behavior.

Women feared their husbands beating them, raping them. Husbands feared their wives... withholding sex. That's what you call a 2-way street?

Colossians 3:19 Husbands, love your wives, and do not be bitter toward them.

Uh huh. Which shows a distinct difference compared to the language of the verse immediately before that one:

Wives, be in subjection to your husbands, as is fitting in the Lord.

That's verse 18. Does verse 19 say, "husbands, be in subjection to your wives"? Lol, no. Misogyny plain and clear.

It has not been wrong

It is absolutely wrong to assume that a person cannot teach due to their sex or gender.

Verse?

Use your words. Fuck it, use a search engine. But the passage I already quoted above from Deuteronomy is one example. It doesn't matter whether christ came to "fulfill" these heinous laws, why were they ever written at all?

  1. The snake gets the blame directly

Genesis 3:14 And the Lord God said to the serpent: “Because you have done this, you are cursed among all living things, even the wild beasts of the earth. Upon your breast shall you travel, and the ground shall you eat, all the days of your life.

  1. Deuteronomy 22:28 If a man finds a girl who is a virgin, who does not have a betrothal, and, taking her, he lies with her, and the matter is brought to judgment

This isn't rape, just having sex outside of marriage with a non virgin

  1. That verse implies that the husbands, impressed by the righteous behavior of the wife would turn to Christ.

  2. Only men can become priests but women can become nuns, and by extension have leadership roles in the church. There are 3 or above women in the council that vets bishops.

  3. Mark 10:5 But Jesus responded by saying: “It was due to the hardness of your heart that he wrote that precept for you.

[-] SnoopSqueak@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

The snake gets the blame directly

Let's see what the rest of the bible has to say.

2 Corinthians 11:

But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ.

1 Timothy 2:

And Adam was not deceived, but the woman was deceived and became a transgressor.

Deuteronomy is describing a rape scenario. If you think this is consensual, you are more dangerous than I thought. Read that whole chapter.

23 If there is a young lady who is a virgin pledged to be married to a husband, and a man finds her in the city, and lies with her, 24 then you shall bring them both out to the gate of that city, and you shall stone them to death with stones; the lady, because she didn’t cry, being in the city; and the man, because he has humbled his neighbor’s wife. So you shall remove the evil from among you.

She deserves to be stoned to death because she didn't scream loud enough while being sexually assaulted?

That verse implies that the husbands, impressed by the righteous behavior of the wife would turn to Christ.

What a wild interpretation. Silly me, I was reading the actual words.

How about the rest of the bible?

1 Corinthians 14:

The women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

1 Corinthians 11:

But I want you to understand that the head of every man is Christ, the head of a wife is her husband, and the head of Christ is God.

Same chapter:

For man was not made from woman, but woman from man. Neither was man created for woman, but woman for man.

1 Timothy 2:

Let a woman learn quietly with all submissiveness. I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet.

Ephesians 5:

Wives, submit to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife even as Christ is the head of the church, his body, and is himself its Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit in everything to their husbands.

Can you find as many equivalent verses for the men? And I mean equivalent, not false equivalences.

Only men can become priests but women can become nuns, and by extension have leadership roles in the church. There are 3 or above women in the council that vets bishops.

How stupidly sexist. Why hasn't this been updated now that we know women are as capable as men?

Mark 10:5 But Jesus responded by saying: “It was due to the hardness of your heart that he wrote that precept for you.

Did god harden that heart, like he did with pharaoh? Free will is impossible if god knows what will happen and creates everything. But apparently even that wasn't good enough because he's really bad at planning ahead, so sometimes he directly intervenes by changing our minds to suit his needs.

It is still baseless sexism, intolerable.

[-] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 week ago

these links explain why it isnt

[-] SnoopSqueak@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Hey FUCKFACE.

Can women teach in the same positions as men?

No?

THEN IT'S FUCKING SEXIST.

Apologetics do not alter reality. Stop making excuses for misogyny, you hateful coward.

[-] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 week ago

women and men are different. Not worse or better, different. This is something that modern physiology agrees on.

[-] SnoopSqueak@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Just owning the sexism?

You are a bigot.

You serve a death cult.

Your beliefs are intolerable.

I'm glad humanity is outgrowing superstition. Catch up or get left behind, we're done letting you kill us.

[-] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 week ago

there is no sexism

read the links I sent you

[-] SnoopSqueak@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago
[-] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 week ago

women and men are different and have different bodies, yes

why do you think we need to have seperate clinical trials for men and women?

[-] SnoopSqueak@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago

Slimy shitbag.

The fuck does any of that have to do with forbidding women from speaking?

Your misogyny is unacceptable.

Your beliefs are intolerable.

[-] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 0 points 1 week ago

Paul was quoting a sexist phrase, this isnt a direct command, he rebukes this quote in the next verses

[-] SnoopSqueak@lemmy.today 1 points 1 week ago
[-] IAMgROOT@lemmy.wtf 1 points 1 week ago
