First Epistle Of Saint Paul To The Corinthians Chapter 14: [34] Let women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted them to speak, but to be subject, as also the law saith. [35] But if they would learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is a shame for a woman to speak in the church.

In keeping with the spirit of this letter by Saint Paul I will not ask for Elsie’s reply.

Why, Elsie, I think you were just accused of being a "woman"! Bet your wife will be surprised.

FYI...R&B, Free Republic Religion Forum threads are NOT "church"...in case you didn't realize that.

boatbums: In keeping with the spirit of this letter by Saint Paul...FYI...R&B, Free Republic Religion Forum threads are NOT “church”...in case you didn’t realize that.

R&B: That is why the words “In keeping with the spirit of this letter” were used rather than “according to this letter”.

boatbums: Why, Elsie, I think you were just accused of being a “woman”! Bet your wife will be surprised.

R&B: Elsie, I think boatmums identifies you as a man. Is he accurate? He also infers that being a woman is a bad thing, for he uses the word “accused” instead of the word “supposed” in that comment.

FR is now considered to be CHURCH?

Oh; wait!

I forgot the spirit of who just penned that reply.
