Because I stick to facts, you stick to and use and apply rubbish written
yonks
ago by goat herders and the like: See below
ON WOMEN
"Let a woman learn in silence with all submissiveness. I permit no woman
to
teach or have authority over men; she is to keep silent."
1st Timothy 2:11
"Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted
unto
them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience as also saith
the
law. And if they will learn any thing, let them ask their husbands at
home:
for it is a shame for women to speak in the church."
I Corinthians 14:34-35
"And a man will choose...any wickedness, but the wickedness of a
woman...Sin
began with a woman and thanks to her we all must die."
Ecclesiastes 25:18, 19 & 33
"As regards the individual nature, woman is defective and
misbegotten, for the active power of the male seed tends to the production
of
a perfect likeness in the masculine ***; while the production of a woman
comes
from defect in the active power...."
[Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologica,Q92, art. 1, Reply Obj. 1]
"And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and
nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her;
but
the sinner shall be taken by her."
Ecclesiastes 7:26
