No, those ideas of Paul’s don’t bother me. My husband was the spiritual head of our household, and I think the feminist movement has done damage to all churches, especially the ones with female pastors, bishops, etc.
Ironically (based on your comments about Paul), you probably apply those first two teachings more literally than would I.
I can offer long arguments about how they were addressed to particular people at a particular time for a particular purpose; but the truth is every Christian I have talked with in any depth will grasp some scripture eagerly and let other scripture lay quietly undisturbed.
Many Protestants claim sola scriptura, but in practice it’s more ‘selected scriptura’
It’s done in every denomination.
And it’s a slippery slope that we’d all like to pretend we don’t slide one, but we all do.
The church at it’s healthiest has people of widely divergent schools of thought at the table. Certainly not all can be right about everything; but when we segregate into like minded groups, we reinforce what we believe without ever having it challenged by opposing views.
That is one of the reasons this forum is such a healthy (of imperfect) tool.
