If you'd like to discuss, we'll need to at least attempt to present each other's doctrine and dogma honestly.
If you'd prefer flame wars, I think there are others you can engage with.
I don't have a problem with it. You however will not heed his admonition re contentiousness.
Paul was talking cultural norms. The most important part of what he said was But in the final analysis, if anyone one wanted to be contentious... It was not an apostolic or church custom
Luke 4:23

GWARSH! WHAT A SHOCK!
You mean St Paul was being reasonable and displaying a lot of common horse sense
INSTEAD
of being prissy, pontifical, pharisaical and censorious of others?
My, my, what a novel Christian idea!
I've already explained that I have no problem with schismatic anti-Christian sects opposing St Paul; no contention at all.
I'm simply interested to lay out what Christians say and beleive (and St Paul was clear that Christians would say and practice the commandments he writes which are from God, and those who do not are false prophets) so that no Christians are deceived by such schismatic anti-Christian sects.

Hmmmmm . . .
Of course, that comes from III STEPHEN 9:3, doesn't it! LOL.
Friends, this thread is heading toxic again.
This is not good for any of us.
It's just like St Paul warned in Acts; wolves trying to tell the faithful to follow them and abandon St Paul's teachings...
Not only that-- there were female disciples. Some didn't even help with the dishes but sat at Jesus' feet. And probably had her hat off too!
If yopu have a question about Catholicism, state it plainly and I will be happy to answer. If you want a flame war, find a thread appropriate for your intellectual level.
So where have I misrepresented RCism?
all as in many not every.
I'm sure that while some are simply con artists who've been exposed in droves, there's some who genuinely work with Satan to steal away faithful Christians.
If you'll read Paul closely you'll note that he states being contentious isn't a Christian custom.

hmmmmmm
Can you clarify why you'd assert something not written in scripture in order to attack something which is expressed in 282 words in scripture?
Talk to your buddy kawaii as evidenced most recently in 9450.
I really would prefer this thread be left on the board and even open to discourse and dialogue.
Name calling of us protesties is not a good way to achieve that goal.
Nor, I suspect, is doing it deliberately or provoking it deliberately to achieve removal a good way to maintain posting privileges.
but I'm just guessing.
LOL. Note the similarity...
in all truth i would far rather see droves of priestly garb shops and never a one church suggesting it 'ok to be gay'...
the priestly garb shops is just plain better.
i'm hardly being contentious

Others may be the best judge of that.
What an astute comparison.
Shocking.
