YOUR BIBLE IGNORANT QUOTE AGAIN: “Can you tell me where the bible says women are lesser and where gentiles had to follow old laws?”

As it should be, women are 2nd class citizens within the scriptures, and a few of many examples are herewith:

“Wives, be subject to your own husbands, as to the Lord. For the husband is the head of the wife, as Christ also is the head of the church, He Himself being the Savior of the body. But as the church is subject to Christ, so also the wives ought to be to their husbands in everything.” (Ephesians 5:22-24)

“I find more bitter than death the woman who is a snare, whose heart is a trap and whose hands are chains. The man who pleases God will escape her, but the sinner she will ensnare.” (Ecclesiastes 7:26)

Jesus did not like Gentiles, nonetheless, they were to follow the 613 Old Laws of the Old Testament:

“Therefore let it be known to you that this salvation of God has been sent to the Gentiles; they will listen.” (Acts 28:28)

"And when they arrived and gathered the church together, they declared all that God had done with them, and how he had opened a door of faith to the Gentiles." (Acts 14:27)

When I proffer the correct answers for you AGAIN, because you didn't know them yourself, then I am essentially a Bible Dictionary for you, of which, you can thank me later for this service.

Thank you for not being a religious conservative. I don't want a religious conservative taking this debate because every single of my points will be recycled until it is pure garbage.

Note to both Pro and Con:
I think that a study of Mormonism would be a valuable insight on the revision/update of the bible in modern times.

@User_2006

1. see comment #12. If you believe in the word of God then you must obey him and not change it.
2. Yes.
3. Yes, but thank you for pointing it out. I didn't notice that I'd just said that.

@K_Michael

So you:
1. Cannot prove what I ask you to prove and believe that that cannot be proven
2. Are an atheist
3. Can use Sarcasm

Alright, interesting.

I'm an atheist. That was sarcasm.

The burden of Proof is on you.

You can't update the word of God. It's timeless and will be right forever and ever. Anything otherwise would be blasphemy, unless of course you're commanded by God to do so.

There is an undertone argument that Christianity is relevant.

Can you tell me where the bible says women are lesser and where gentiles had to follow old laws?

Looks like i needed an update. Lol

Sorry, was 2019 https://www.timesofisrael.com/in-the-qumran-cliffs-an-expedition-digs-up-new-dead-sea-scroll-caves/

@Melcharaz

Like, deleting old content, adding newer relevant content, using newer grammar, etc. I don't want to read a volume of old books with it telling me how women are lesser than men to an extent, or that I couldn't eat certain meat because of how it works instead of what process it undergoes to clean.

Im curious by what you mean by "update" you going to explain that? Because the bible isnt really updated, its still the same scrolls we've been using since the 1980s.

I predict that Melcharaz will appear in this comment section, predictably giving source to the other side.

Could prove to be a very interesting topic.
