I believe this came down to the idea that women are supposed to defer to their husbands, and thus it would be improper for them to speak before men. [edit: what David quoted :-O ] How do you move in a world of fog, That's always changing things? Makes me wish that i could be a dog, When i see the price that you pay.

That's what I just said...'cept I actually used the words of the apostle himself. ;P
"Garfield: The Movie" is poised to hit theaters this summer. I'm impressed that they've been able to take a 2D character with a 1D personality and bloat it into a 3D disaster. With a tagline like "it's all about ME-OW," you can be guaranteed the cinematic equivalence of having your hand fed to a wood chipper when this mind-dump hits the screen. -Maddox

1 Timothy 2:12-15 12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet. 13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve. 14 And it was not Adam who was deceived, but the woman being deceived, fell into transgression. 15 But women will be preserved through the bearing of children if they continue in faith and love and sanctity with self-restraint.

Yeah, it's all their fault! I bet Judas was a woman too.. :rolleyes: -- So let's just walk from place to place, as long as we don't talk face to face.

In the church of Aphrodite, The priestess wears a see-through nightie, She's a mighty righteous sightie, And she's good enough for me!

Hi all, The front page of BBC shows a pic of a woman priest. We don't have women priests in the churches in our city [I am not a Christian but I have gone to churches]. Are women priests common in other places? Cheers Smitha Every person, all the events of your life, are there because you have drawn them there.

There are quite a lot of women ordained in the UK now. Sadly, there is still a lot of prejudice amongst some parts of the church :(( Elaine :rose: The tigress is here :-D

CG is a Christian who’s Christian name is Christian, And when a Christian’s Christian name is Christian, You know the Christian’s thoughts on Christian priests, Will be as Christian as a Christian’s thoughts can be.Nish p.s. I bet you are all glad I never took to poetry ;-)

Her name is Aphrodite and she rides a crimson shell, And you know you cannot leave her for you touched the distant sands With tales of brave Ulysses; how his naked ears were tortured By the sirens sweetly singing.

It sounds a little harsher than it actually is Smitha. You gotta remember that this was written back when Rome still ruled the world and they enjoyed crucifiying people for theivery. Yeah...real advanced. :rolleyes:

Jörgen Sigvardsson wrote: Yeah, it's all their fault! Well of course...why do you think they're the ones that have the "joy" of child-bearing. ;) Actually, Paul makes it clear that sin only happened after Adam ate of the fruit. So there's really a greater responsibility on the man in that, regardless of whether or not the woman had sinned, it was the man who made the final decision as to the action taken. Kinda interesting when looked at with respect to the Jewish law that if a wife made a decision, her husband had three days to ratify or reject the decision before they would actually be held accountable for it.

It could be said that all who submit to Christ are priests: 1 Peter 2:4-6[^] Rev 1:5-7[^] But Jesus is the High Priest. It's like the term "saints", all christians are saints, yet the Catholic Church has made it into a special designation. I have a problem with ministers being called Reverend or Father. Those terms are reserved for God only.

I can't justify it in scripture but personally I have no problem with female ministers/priests. But then I'd be very happy to see a woman as Archbishop of Canterbury so maybe that's not surprising... ;P Anna :rose: Homepage | Tears and Laughter "Be yourself - not what others think you should be" - Marcia Graesch "Anna's just a sexy-looking lesbian tart" - A friend, trying to wind me up.

Yes, in the Lutheran Church where I belong the women priests can marry and live a normal life. In the Catholic Church things are very much different. For example,my ex-wife is katholic and we got married in Spain and later divorced in Finland. But I have the feeling that we will be forever considered married in Spain...:omg: jhaga --------------------------------- Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.
