+Paul leaves no room for reading "too much into it." I think kawaii's examples are rather clear. ..Let's be brutally honest: these verse are a serious problem (if not embarrassment) for Christianity, especially western Christianity.

Sorry but I'm not embarrassed by the scriptures. Eastern Christianity must simply just ignore these verses saying they were for another time, another place. Personally, I think God was smart enough to make the scriptures timeless. I would search for answers rather than dismissing the word of God.

The verses I posted are unambiguous. Their message towards women is clear: ask your husband if you don't understand, learn in silence and submission, man is your head, come to church covered and keep quiet.

These are words you and all "Bible-believing Christians" consider the word of God. Yet no one really treats them as such, churches avoid reading them, and church-going women ignore them.
