God's list is mentioned explicitly in Holy Scripture where one finds women covering their heads, not preaching, and finds folks confessing their sins to one another.

Am all for confessing sins to one another. Done it most of my life.

Our notions of what is on God's list are different.

Paul made it clear that when it wasn't a core issue of the faith, we are to be charitable toward one another and

NOT

PROUD, RIGID, NARROW, PRISSY, CONSTIPATED, SELF-RIGHTEOUS, VAIN-GLORIOUS, STUBBORN, EXCLUSIONARY, HEARTLESS, . . .

I have the bias that Paul knew what he was talking about and that such an exhortation was from The Lord.

So . . . is the doctrine you are espousing

THAT

I should pay attention to St Paul when he's giving his personal opinion about women in a local historical context as though it were the 10 Commandments from Mr Sinai

BUT IGNORE ST PAUL when he very sternly exhorts us to be charitable and conciliatory about relatively minor differences of interpretation about Scriptural principles and spiritual life?

And, please, pray tell . . . what are we to use to guide us in such

ARBITRARY PICKING AND CHOOSING from St Paul?
