In reply to the discussion: Feminists can be Christians, too [View all]kwassa

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Epistle_to_the_Corinthians
There is near consensus among historians and Christian theologians that Paul is the author of the First Epistle to the Corinthians, typically classifying its authorship as "undisputed" (see Authorship of the Pauline Epistles). The letter is quoted or mentioned by the earliest of sources, and is included in every ancient canon, including that of Marcion. However, two passages may have been inserted at a later stage. The first passage is 1 Cor 11:2-16 dealing with praying and prophesying with headcovering.[1] The second passage is 1 Cor 14:34-35 which has been hotly debated. Part of the reason for doubt is that in some manuscripts, the verses come at the end of the chapter instead of at its present location. Furthermore, Paul is here appealing to the law which is uncharacteristic of him. Lastly, the verses come into conflict with 11:2-16 where women are allowed to preach. [2]

Wrong. Again you ignore that it was a direct response to the question at hand.

Amazing how some presume to think they know how everyone of an organization or group thinks.

Like I said, pick and choose. No part of the Christian Holy Bible was written by Jesus Christ. nt

No, that was Paul. Another reason why I make distinction between Paulists and Christians.

Wouldn't a rational approach consider all the miracles and supernatural parts metaphors?

There are so many things wrong with your post that it's hard to know where to begin.

Yes they do. Ordination is not equality. Switching to ordination was moving the goal posts.
