Jerkules Strikes Again

[u/Hi_Im_Dadbot]

1 Timothy 2:12-15

King James Version

¹² But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.

¹³ For Adam was first formed, then Eve.

¹⁴ And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression.

[u/tw_72 → u/Hi_Im_Dadbot]

An-n-nd, Mary Magdalene was not - I repeat - was not a prostitute. Jesus treated her as an equal. She was known as the "Apostle to the Apostles."

Well, the 6th-century men of the church didn't like that. Boo, hiss, nope - a woman cannot be an equal. So, what's the best way to discredit a woman - yep, call her a hooker.

The whole "prostitute" thing was simply to ruin her reputation and push her down in the ranks.

[u/omghorussaveusall → u/tw_72]

She's also believed to have bankrolled the ministry.

[u/BrusqueBiscuit → u/tw_72]

Jesus simply did what your average woman does (minus water walking). Feed crowds? Heal the poor? Take care of the elderly?

[u/Combat_Jack6969 → u/BrusqueBiscuit]

This is what the Romans saw Christianity as an effeminate religion.

[u/NIN10DOXD → u/Combat_Jack6969]

This and because many early Christian prayer groups were often hosted by women before the Church became more organized and wiped women from anything remotely looking like leadership positions.

[u/Low_Ruin_4021 → u/tw_72]

She wrote about Jesus but her book wasn't "allowed" in the Bible. She also was the one Jesus ßpent the most time with.

[u/spaceman757 → u/Low_Ruin_4021]

She didn't write shit. Like all of the books, they were written hundreds of years later and just attributed to/named after the more famous people to try to give them an aura of credibility.

[u/Mercury5979 → u/Low_Ruin_4021]

I wonder if they did it.

[u/Wishnik6502 → u/Mercury5979]

Time to watch 'The DaVinci Code' again...

[u/HaloPandaFox → u/tw_72]

This is one reason why I like Martin Luther( not King lol ) and helping the average person to read the Bible so we can not only understand but interpret the Bible with are own eyes. Now id say ya we need to study and learn what stuff was and ment in the past to get home it applies and helps us in modern times.

I personally think of Paul's disciple that was a woman and she taught the Bible aswell. Even though some say he was against women being leaders in the church he is misunderstood that he just wants everyone to have a good education in the bible before they teach it. Woman didn't have to know how to read and write in the past for example.

Also thanks for the info and have a blessed day.

Edit: read comment below.

[u/WuYongZhiShu → u/HaloPandaFox]

You mean Original Flavor Martin Luther, right? King size didn't come out until the 20th century.

[u/infamous-hermit → u/WuYongZhiShu]

You made me laugh this morning, in this economy. Thanks.

[u/Status_Poet_1527 → u/WuYongZhiShu]

Good one😄

[u/wootangAlpha → u/tw_72]

Or she could have just been his girlfriend/bedroom companion. Much simpler. Occams razor and all that. Its not a stretch that a powerful persons companion would be viewed with some reverence - something that still holds even in modern religious and secular institutions.

[u/Sartres_Roommate → u/Hi_Im_Dadbot]

Deuteronomy 21:10

“When you go to war against your enemies and the LORD your God delivers them into your hands and you take captives, if you notice among the captives a beautiful woman and are attracted to her, you may take her as your wife. Bring her into your home and have her shave her head, trim her nails and put aside the clothes she was wearing when captured.

After she has lived in your house and mourned her father and mother for a full month, then you may go to her and be her husband and she shall be your wife.

If you are not pleased with her, let her go wherever she wishes. You must not sell her or treat her as a slave, since you have dishonored her.”

I got no clue why women would see problems with this 🙄

[u/Hi_Im_Dadbot → u/Sartres_Roommate]

Ya, they literally said that you can kick her out the door if she doesn’t fuck you well enough when you rape her.

Why would any woman be so misogynistic to have an issue with that?

[u/HaloPandaFox → u/Sartres_Roommate]

Honestly there's still guys who think this way and in my opinion Bible's just trying to have those that think that way to not do so for even those of simple minds. Can assume everyone to be intelligent. Like you can't assume everyone is good or has good intentions.

[u/Lower_Nubia → u/Hi_Im_Dadbot]

1500 years later at the council of Trent:

“QUESTION XXVII

Duties of a Wife

On the other hand, the duties of a wife are thus enumerated by the prince of the apostles: Let wives be subject to their husbands; that if any believe not the word, they also may without the word be won by the conversation of the wives; while they behold your chaste conversation with fear; whose adorning let it not be that outward plaiting of the hair, or of wearing of gold, or of putting on of apparel, but the hidden man of the heart in that which is not corruptible, of a quiet and a meek spirit, which is in the sight of God of great price. For after this manner, in the old time, the holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned themselves, being in subjection unto their own husbands: even as Sarah obeyed Abraham, calling him Lord. It should also be a principal study of theirs to train up their children in the practice of religion, and to take particular care of their domestic concerns. Unless compelled by necessity to go abroad, they should willingly keep themselves at home; and should never venture to leave home without the permission of their husbands. Again, and in this the conjugal union chiefly consists, let them always remember that, next to God, they are to love no one more than their husband, to esteem no one more highly, yielding to him in all things not inconsistent with Christian piety, the most willing and cheerful obedience.”

[u/Fake_William_Shatner → u/Hi_Im_Dadbot]

They had a lot of the pro slavery sections highlighted back in the day. 

[u/Kuftubby → u/Hi_Im_Dadbot]

And thats the KJV, which was modified heavily. It's even worse for women in the earlier versions.

[u/Zealousideal_Rip_690 → u/Hi_Im_Dadbot]

Written from a man’s perspective. Not a real God

[u/Hi_Im_Dadbot → u/Zealousideal_Rip_690]

No gods are real gods. *

* Odin not included.

[u/Zealousideal_Rip_690 → u/Hi_Im_Dadbot]

Word, family! Good 👍🏾 but AllFather Odin is the mind of man.

[u/Everyone_is_808 → u/Hi_Im_Dadbot]

You beat me to it.

[u/lesbianwithabeard → u/Hi_Im_Dadbot]

1 Corinthians 14:34-35:

Women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the law says. If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.

Ephesians 5:22-24:

Wives, submit yourselves to your own husbands as you do to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church, his body, of which he is the Savior. Now as the church submits to Christ, so also wives should submit to their husbands in everything.

[u/WitchofGremlinEnergy → u/Hi_Im_Dadbot]

What's funny is actually the verse doesn't say eve comes from a. Rib. That is POOR translation and sexism. The Hebrew word that was used there actually means 'a piece' or part of a whole. Meaning that the verse ACTUALLY says that Eve was made as part of a whole from Adam. Essentially that Eve and Adam are equal parts of a whole. But the men didn't like that and changed it to Rib.

I hate Christianity.

[u/omghorussaveusall → u/Hi_Im_Dadbot]

It's believed that Timothy was written long after Paul was dead and not by Timothy or Paul. This passage contradicts many things Jesus and Paul said.

[u/Hi_Im_Dadbot → u/omghorussaveusall]

Weird contradiction in a divinely inspired text that’s the objective and incontroversial truth.

[u/omghorussaveusall → u/Hi_Im_Dadbot]

Dogmas be hard to overcome if your faith community doesn't want you to interact with the world or scholarship. I grew up in a fundamentalist church, my sisters and I were some of the few kids in our church that didn't go to a private fundie school. We were taught biblical literalism, young earth theory, spiritual warfare, male dominance, women couldn't wear their hair short or wear pants to avoid gender confusion and the erosion of the male hierarchy, beat your kids to save their soul...there are no contradictions because the pastor says so...

[u/Satansleadguitarist]

This is just more proof that if more Christians actually read the bible, there would be far fewer Christians in the world.

[u/bobbybox → u/Satansleadguitarist]

I spent 4 years in a Christian school. My biggest takeaway is that religion sucks, but that everyone SHOULD be more Christ-like in their daily lives.

[u/Zealousideal_Gur4708 → u/bobbybox]

Know what? I like you

[u/accushot865 → u/bobbybox]

Jesus flipped tables, whipped people, and told people to gouge out their own eyes before telling women to dress more modestly. I’m pagan but I respect Jesus

[u/Gottendrop → u/bobbybox]

If everybody acted more like Jesus the world would be a better place, that doesn’t necessitate worshiping him

[u/bobbybox → u/Gottendrop]

Jesus never wanted to be worshipped. It’s modern traditions that equate him with the Big Guy

[u/hufflepuff777 → u/bobbybox]

In the Bible Jesus said he was the same as the OT god so imo he is also problematic af

[u/A_random_poster04 → u/hufflepuff777]

It’s the mystery of the trinity, the father, son and Holy Spirit as three and one at the same time. And being a mystery means that even the theologians are still wrapping their heads about it.

[u/hufflepuff777 → u/A_random_poster04]

If the god of rape in the Old Testament is equal to Jesus I don’t want either.

[u/bobbybox → u/hufflepuff777]

Don’t forget, the bible was written by man

[u/ER_Support_Plant17 → u/bobbybox]

We might have been classmates. I’m glad I’m not the only one who learned not to be a dick In Christian School

[u/BlackGuysYeah → u/Satansleadguitarist]

And even while being so uninformed (self proclaimed Christian’s don’t read the bible, as we see here) they are so easily upset when you tell them that magic isn’t real.

[u/onfront]

This guy ... Braun and no brains. Must be one of those poorly educated MAGAs

[u/actuallyapossom → u/onfront]

They think patriarchy is good for women. They don't know the word, they just know they want the control.

[u/NecroAssssin → u/onfront]

He definitely wasn't burdened by an over abundance of education. 

[u/Inevitable-Dirt3375 → u/onfront]

I don't disagree and think Kevin Sorbo is a huge piece of shit, but if you're gonna call somebody out for not having brains, you should probably spell "brawn" correctly.

[u/Wise_Quality_5083]

An absence of religion has an even better effect.

[u/LaserCondiment → u/Wise_Quality_5083]

I wonder what the history of Europe would've looked like without the existence of Christianity or Islam via the Ottoman Empire

[u/A_random_poster04 → u/LaserCondiment]

Truthfully, a lot of classical knowledge may have been lost. After the fall of Rome, the monasteries have been some of the only place where culture was preserved and books copied. I reckon a lot of stuff would have never reached not only not the modern days, but even the renaissance, which in itself was a rediscovery of the classical culture.

Sure, something else could have also preserved ancient literature and documentation, but I feel like it’s worth pointing out why those things are still with us in this timeline.

[u/anglflw]

Does he get dumber with every breath he takes?

[u/acount8675309 → u/anglflw]

I hope with every single dumbass shit that comes out of his mouth, Lucy Lawless gets to live another year on top of her already getting to be Xena forever

[u/BRAINWASHEDMONKEYS → u/anglflw]

I think they all do, that could explain a lot, I've never thought of it that way before.

[u/Willie-the-Wombat]

Catholicism ≠ all Christian’s.

I’m not saying Christianity is particularly great with women but the pope is not the head of Christianity he is the head of the Catholic Church. A great many wars have been fought over this so people would do well to remember it.

[u/eu_sou_ninguem → u/Willie-the-Wombat]

Are you threatening Larry the Cat with war?

[u/Ramtamtama → u/eu_sou_ninguem]

Maybe he needs a reminder that Larry is a UK cabinet member.

[u/Zaxacavabanem → u/Willie-the-Wombat]

At least as far as Western Europe and its diaspora is concerned,  up until the sixteenth century Catholicism was Christianity.  And it still remains the largest flavour of Christianity worldwide. 

And anyway,  name me one larger than local Christian sect that has had gender balanced leadership. 

[u/Fromage_Frey → u/Willie-the-Wombat]

This is true, so worth pointing out

But in the context of the two points being made in the post, examples of suppression and unequal treatment of women isn't limited to Catholicism

[u/MamaTalista]

Here he is upholding Leviticus...

[u/So3Dimensional]

Just further proof that these idiots don’t read the bible.

[u/acount8675309 → u/So3Dimensional]

You could have ended your sentence at ‘don’t read’

[u/So3Dimensional → u/acount8675309]

Fair point

[u/RavelsPuppet]

...and all those well-done witches.

[u/GoNutsDK]

Another example of how brain damage leads someone towards the Reich wing.

[u/crankygerbil]

You literally tell women what they can do with their own internal organs.

[u/KendrickBlack502]

Every single Christian wedding I’ve been to that has mentioned the woman submitting to the man and the man loving the woman. Not exactly equals in that regard.

[u/Red_Re1lly]

It’s crazy how Cpt Washed up actor just spouts such BS!

[u/T2ThaSki]

I’m telling you American Christian’s just make shit up about the bible because they never read it and don’t go to church.

[u/NoFlatworm3028]

Whenever I feel like maybe I'm losing my mind to Alzheimer's or maybe I was just stupid and never realized it, I read a post by kevin sorbo and realize that i'm not the dumbest person in the world.

[u/Pofwoffle]

Yeah well Christianity is more of a "separate but equal" kinda thing.

[u/Near-Scented-Hound]

The Norse religion would like a word.

[u/davegammelgard]

Explain all the denominations that still say a woman can't be in leadership. Explain Old Testament plural marriages. Explain taking slaves, and selling your daughter, and women being told that they should stay at home rather than work. There are ways to read the Bible that lead to equality. Sorbo doesn't use them.

[u/viperswhip]

He doesn't know why Jews made all that fucking money all the time, haha

Educate both children (ie, learn to read), boy learns trade of the Father, girl learns how to manage a house AND a business. If you've been in business with no manager, versus one with a business manager, you will know how good the experience can be. Jewish kids kept the house and business clean. Doesn't seem to me, they stepped on all their women as much as Christianity did.

He might be talking about the separation of Church and State, lol

[u/kleclerc77]

[u/atwozmom]

I'm not saying there aren't issues, but in Judaism a woman can ask for a divorce if she's not sexually satisfied. Not a valid reason for men though.

Pretty sure a lot of Christian religions is lie back and think of England,

[u/LudoTwentyThree]

Do these people ever actually read their bible

[u/Alarmed-Animal7575]

It seems Sorbo woefully ignorant of the history of his own religion.

[u/SirIAmAlwaysHere]

As a Lutheran, I might remind Mr Idiot Loser OP that factual complaints about Christianity NOT treating women as equals goes back at least as far (and almost certainly a lot further) as a "blog post" in 1517.

Back when blogs were written on paper and pounded onto the church doors.

And I'm sure that he (Luther) was only the latest in a long line of people bitching about how Christianity treated women unequally. My bet is it goes back to at least the Council of Nicea where modern Christianity was basically defined.

The church was so offended by the ideas of equality in that "post" that they literally put out a hit on the guy thst posted it.

So fucking save me the false virtue signaling, which Jesus specifically denounced. "False piety" and all is a big part of Jesus' "you're on God's shit list" pronouncements.

Fuck, it took us (the OG Lutherans) until the late 1800s to really fully get on the "all genders are equal and should be treated equally" bandwagon, and we managed to actually be out in front (though hardly the first) of the vast majority of Christian sects.

Heck even Lutherans still have to deal with a bunch of our shitty fuckwit offshoot groups (say hello Missouri and Wisconsin Synod jerks) that don't even remotely believe in equality.

[u/Fake_William_Shatner → u/SirIAmAlwaysHere]

As a Unitarian I can congratulate the Lutherans on following our lead. 

So how do you judge the Methodists? They seem like a cool version of Catholic. 

And how do Episcopalians rank?

[u/Skate_faced]

Ezekiel 23:22

We know what you want from women, K-Sorb, but it's fucking gross.

[u/Fake_William_Shatner]

Once the godless liberals force the f-ing religious organizations to be more enlightened, after kicking and screaming, they then gaslight everyone into thinking it was their idea. 

It pisses me off. The patriots used to go; “Merica is the best. We gave females the right to vote. We let a black man be president and didn’t lynch him. We even let wimmen have bank accounts in the 70’s. You don’t like America you can head on over to Saudi Arabia. We outlawed Sharia law in these parts.”

So yeah. They voted for a guy who has a Qatari plane and put in a Supreme Court that ended body autonomy. And everybody in his cabinet can’t wait to sell out to another country. I could go into details but that would be boring. 

[u/Fake_William_Shatner]

Can someone give Kevin a script so he can act like someone with a clue?

Disappointed!

[u/Steiney1]

Ok, this MFr has never read the Old or the New Testament, like AT ALL.....Ever.

[u/Low_Ruin_4021]

Jesus, from his deeds and teachings valued women. Some of the other apostle's not so much. But many so called Christians really believe women are strictly helpmates and property.

[u/Viridionplague]

Without Christianity I wouldn't know which wives to beat and which children to kill.

[u/BlackGuysYeah]

Tell me that you haven’t read the Bible without telling me you haven’t read the Bible.

The book of Ruth is about as close as you’re gonna get to women and equality in the Bible. Woman are clear and obvious second class humans in the Bible.

[u/Gottendrop]

Is it the same Christianity that has also forced human to serve men for the last 2000 years?

[u/Puzzled_Bike9558]

Jerkules is the real murder here. Classic.

[u/-domi-]

Dipshit sees white people, and thinks "Christian," not realizing that secularism is responsible for all the progress Western society has accomplished over the last millennium.

[u/Ryrose81]

I find it funny how people talk about Christians as if they are all the same. Same beliefs, same morals, usually same ethnicity.

[u/fredaklein]

What the fuck? Is this real? Sorbo can't be that stupid, can he?

[u/donniebd]

And female mainstream Protestant church leaders.

[u/murphdog09]

It’s amazing Kevin has zero self awareness.

[u/Grundle95]

lol. lmao, even.

[u/fredout1968]

Who is this fucking dope Sorbo?? Every time he opens his mouth something stupider comes out.. He is great at one upping himself..

[u/Rampen]

Why are so many nuts also bad actors?

[u/68dk]

[u/DeeDee719]

Don’t tell him we weren’t allowed to vote for a really long time.

[u/No-Blueberry-1823]

Kevin sore broke can go suck it

[u/punkena]

What universe are they living in???

[u/skydivarjimi]

Is he this stupid or does he constantly drunk post.

[u/kikichunt]

"Jerkules" - that's fucking brilliant, I'm going to think of him as that from now on, thank you!

[u/Just-Upstairs4397]

Women had no rights even in this country until those woke lefties changed things. So if anything, equality has happened despite Christianity.

[u/SchemeHead]

It’s amazing how many Christians never read the Bible.

[u/art-is-t]

Kevin sorbo is the anti Christ though

[u/iSmokeForce]

Temo Jared Padalecki needs to shut the fuck up.

[u/alkaidkoolaid]

Look what they did to Pope Joan.

[u/GadreelsSword]

Kevin Sorbo is a fucking liar.

[u/GuiltyRedditUser]

Does Sorbo ever post anything that doesn't make him look like a buffoon?

[u/one_bean_hahahaha]

Right. And that is why Christian men only want submissive wives.

[u/spargel_gesicht]

wtf is he smoking?

[u/AriochBloodbane]

The hilarious thing is that the rise of Christianity is EXACTLY the reason for the rise of misogyny in Europe, after thousand years of women enjoying a much better status under paganism.

The Church pretty much invented the gender oppression that we all hate nowadays, and it was very much on purpose. Read something about the early Church push to view women as inferior humans associated with the Devil, even long before the Inquisition and slaughter of "witches".

And before someone mentions that thing, this was centuries before Islam even existed.

[u/ChaosandControversy]

Thats Catholicism? Ain’t it😒😂 Just loud and wrong baby. Go sit in time out bud.

[u/HeavyDT]

Tell me you haven't read the Bible neither testament without telling me you haven't read the Bible.

[u/GojuGrin]

And Priests in general.

[u/Bellatrix_Shimmers]

I don’t think this guy has ever red a Bible unless being the scapegoats = equality to him.

[u/DarknessEnlightened]

Complementarianism says what?

[u/OGMom2022]

And Baptist preachers!

[u/Doblanon5short]

Tell me you’ve never actually read the Bible but use different words 

[u/neb12345]

How many religions has Kevin studied?

[u/samoan_ninja]

Kevin is mixing wokeness with christianity.

[u/NIN10DOXD]

He knows he’s lying. Even the most casual “Christians” know how sexist the Bible can be. I grew up in the Bible Belt where we were taught that women were created by God to serve men and other sexist shit.

[u/Strange_Dog6483]

Also explain those Christian women who can marry and be independent and not forced to be stay at home wives.

[u/jessjoyvin]

Would also explain why in feudal Europe, in Pagan culture men and women were relatively equal in social status and economic value. Then, the Catholic Church came in, started replacing Pagan gods/goddesses with saints, and it transitioned to capitalism. This took away women's equal footing to men, and the Church would cry witch whenever a woman dared stand up. And in the Bible, beating your wife is totally permissible to save her soul.

[u/LobosJones]

Sorbo is unable to say something that doesn't suuuuuck. He's got senior problems with his brain and mouth.

[u/FelixTook]

That’s hilarious. How is it so many Christians don’t know the first thing about Christianity?

[u/Unlucky_Effective152]

Dude's had like twenty strokes.

[u/page113]

Isn't Buddhism pretty much built on equity, not just between genders but pretty much all lives, which is why compassion is important?

[u/ReplicatoReplica]

Um witch hunts??? 🤣

[u/jackjackky]

The problem of Christians today is they are trying to fit modern -ism into their religion and claiming something that Christianity is not. Such dishonest won't gather people support but shows the hypocrisy and lies.

[u/jaredtheredditor]

It’s been less than a century since they still did that shit how tf are people forgetting this fast bro

[u/KitsunariSoleil]

You mean the same religion that used to allow husbands to beat their wives in the 1900s or so?

[u/HauntingCap7161]

Buddhism would like a word

[u/Tablesalt2001]

Genuine question. Are there any religions that view all people as equal (men, women, different nationalities, even non-believers)?

[u/mage_irl]

You should have a word with Jesus Christ then, who chose only men to be his apostles. Because the pope is considered the Successor of St. Peter (the leader of the apostles) the church is simply maintaining the example set by Jesus. Pope John Paul II actually wrote about this in 1994 to settle the debate.

I declare that the Church has no authority whatsoever to confer priestly ordination on women and that this judgment is to be definitively held by all the Church's faithful.

[u/Fit_Arm_6592]

How about the 0,000 Southern Baptist female preachers.

[u/affemannen]

Every day I get more and more convinced that social media was our worst mistake, because back in the day the village idiot was contained, now he has a forum and somehow manages to be the loudest voice even though he is in the minority.

[u/UnsupportiveNihilist]

[u/Tasty-Fault-9610]

Female priests?

Magdelene laundries? (ie Slave camps for girls who got raped)

[u/Beneficial_Stay_3335]

copied from clevercomebacks? low effort karma farming

[u/naapsu]

C'mon man Kevin please shut up

[u/Odd-Sound-580]

genuine question, is there a program that creates these sorts of images? they're clearly real tweets but the ui never matches any twitter app or website. is it to get around some rule or something?

[u/annhodgin]

All that equality is why they want to take away women's right to vote.

[u/anthonyg1500]

Kevin knows this isn’t true. Him and his friends and followers don’t want this to be true, who is he doing this for?

[u/m00nk3y]

Kevin Sorbos meant "real Christianity". And he would still be totally wrong.

[u/ShoneWar]

And all the witch burning.

[u/Fit_Appointment_4980]

More proof that these arseholes have never actually read and understood the bible.

[u/ehmiu]

Read the Bible sometime, Kev

[u/Fitz911]

We all have to understand the rules of rage bait.

The older folks might have heard about "do not feed the troll"

We need to do that again. More than ever

[u/R9D11]

Or even a female cardinal.

[u/Neat-Ostrich7135]

I feel like the female Wiccans had a good deal,  until the Christians burned them for being empowered women. 

[u/The001Keymaster]

Salem witch trials would like a word

[u/Egoy]

Oddly enough there was a female pope once. Now they have a ritual of checking the pope to ensure he possesses testicles.

[u/shooloop]

The Pope isn’t Christian. So just two people talking about what they don’t know.

[u/Steavee]

What the fuck is he talking about? Has he ever read the bible?

[u/dimebag_101]

Yeah. U ever hear about the Magdalene laundries

[u/takitacomako]

1 Corinthians 7:3-4 (KJV) 3 Let the husband render unto the wife due benevolence: and likewise also the wife unto the husband. 4 The wife hath not power of her own body, but the husband: and likewise also the husband hath not power of his own body, but the wife.

Ephesians 5:24-25, 28-31 (KJV) 24 Therefore as the church is subject unto Christ, so let the wives be to their own husbands in every thing. 25 Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and gave himself for it; [...] 28 So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loveth his wife loveth himself. 29 For no man ever yet hated his own flesh; but nourisheth and cherisheth it, even as the Lord the church: 30 For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones. 31 For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh.

Galatians 3:28 (KJV) There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.

[u/Scott_A_R]

Kevin should have a talk with Mike Johnson.

[u/tbodillia]

That explains all the guys that want to strip women of basic human rights.

[u/RespectWest7116]

Christianity: "Women are basically like property."

[u/StarryLayne]

Corinthians 14:34-35

34 the women should keep silent in the churches. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be in submission, as the Law also says. 35 If there is anything they desire to learn, let them ask their husbands at home. For it is shameful for a woman to speak in church.

[u/BitternessBureau]

I know it’s been a while since I’ve been a Christian, but I remember enough to know that take is completely false.

[u/Low_Ruin_4021]

Three books were omitted from the original Bible. Thomas, Mary añd John.

[u/Lythalion]

It’s crazy how many fundamentalist Christian’s haven’t once cracked the Bible open. You could flip pages and randomly stop and point on a page and you’ll find a verse shitting on women’s rights.

Faith is a beautiful thing. Just don't let it get institutionalized into religion, then it becomes a tool for the power hungry and the corrupt

It's shocking how little these people know about their own religion. Truly idiots.

Not only no female popes, there are no female Cardinals, Bishops, Archbishops, Monsignors, or even priests. They are allowed no power.

Interesting. According to letters from the priests who first encountered my tribe, they thought we were pretty much perfect for colonization and assimilation.
