Well, if you aren't aware that you have been insulting me post after post (please go back and read them, and try to see how demeaning your posts to me have been), this is an exercise in futility, but here goes.....last try.

If Paul is telling the women of Corinth that they must NOT pray and prophesy without head covering, then there is an obvious assumption that they DO pray and prophesy. (The entire passage in chapter 14 is about order in the service, because the Corinthian women had been rowdy). You have to distort what's in chapter 10 and 11 to come up with your view that the negative approach to the wording means there is no positive. It is totally illogical that Paul would have said it without meaning, and Paul is anything but illogical.

I believe in the errancy of Scripture, and that it can be taken literally, but you apparently deny that there are difficult passages that need more study.

I will repeat for the last time, I am not throwing out any passage, I am not seeking to twist passages to my liking, and I am not coming from a position of feminism or a self-serving I-want-the-Bible-to-say-what-I-want-it-to-say position.

It is pointless to discuss this with you, since you do not have one whit of respect for me.....so much so that you don't even realize how insulting you have been.

I am a student of the Word, and seek to become more of one as a come closer to the time when I see my Savior face to face.

I pray that you will grow in your faith and in the wisdom to know when knowledge and opinion is being used as a tool to hurt fellow believers, and not to glorify God.

I assume you will insult me again, but I don't have time to keep this 'discussion' going. I will pray for you, Appy.
