1 Timothy 2:11-14
Link to pathetic exegesis
Since my goal is to eventually be a professor, let it be known the first student to turn in a paper that proclaims that a section of the Bible was not actually written by the author of the book being read will receive an F for the course. It is by far the most ridiculous thing to fall back on "it isn't really part of the Word" because you don't like what a passage says.
A far better argument is the one that says it was written in a time when women were uneducated and not capable of intelligent discourse and that since that is no longer the case...
But to go to the argument of that's not really part of scripture is pathetic. Just like these so called churches that proclaim John 14:6 to not really be genuine with not one shread of evidence except they don't like it. All to be politically correct. Go ahead and be part of the world. Just stay out of my future courses because you won't pass.

Regardless of the way I feel about the 1st Timothy passage some of the claims she makes are outright absurdities. Of course I would expect as much from the PC(USA) Office.
I didn't even notice it was on the PCUSA site. I copied the link from the comments on your blog and read it.
I found the section on the different translations separating the verse into one or two sentences to also as you say be absurd. Especially when... it didnt matter. It still said the same thing and she's going on and on like it mattered. Its like English was a second language for her or something.
Like I said in the post, I think arguing the different times is a far better way to go.
And yes, if you're sensing it, I'm not as stringent as my church on this issue. But at the same time, arguments really need to be thought out. Her's wasn't. Her's opens the door to well if that's not written by Paul then neither is this or that or that.... And we end up with:
1 Cor 7:32 I would like you to be free from concern.
Awesome! Everything's ok I don't need to be concerned with anything.
;D
