“Oh, no. That’s the OLD testament. I meant the new one.”
So you agree we should stop persecuting LGBT+ people then?
“No, not like that”
Exactly. If you believe in the OT here you go:
A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. For Adam was formed first, then Eve. And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety.
–Timothy 2:11-15
Basically any evangelical women should stfu and get back to the only thing the holy book says they’re good for: pumping out babies. Great ethos you follow there, Margie. For such a believer why are you in congress instead of barefoot and pregnant?
And if you don’t follow the OT, as you say, maybe stfu about everything other than loving everyone as Jesus commanded. And also get the fuck outta congress, because Jesus wanted a separation of church and state.
The funny thing is, 1 Timothy is in the New Testament. So, regardless of which one she wants to claim she’s a fan of, both basically tell her to STFU and sit down.
I’m not saying either is right, but if she wants to claim to be a believer/follower, then she’s clearly a hypocrite either way.
That makes it much better. The OT is chock full of fucked up stuff, but God’s covenant was with his chosen people at the time, jews. Jesus fulfilled that one and created a new covenant with his new chosen people (guess who), Christians. So they’ll pick and choose their verses to say whatever shit they want, but when pressed about eating pork or wearing blended clothing, that’s what they fall back on.
For extra credit, find an average Christian and give them that verse, but tell them it’s from the Quran and ask what they think about it.
