Leviticus 18:22

You shall not lie with a male as with a woman. It is an abomination.

1Timothy 2:12

But I permit not a woman to teach, nor to have dominion over a man, but to be in quietness.

That sums it up pretty clearly to me. You sleep with someone of the same sex, God is going to bring wrath down upon you. Woman are not allowed to teach. Plan and simple..

Lev18 - You (man...the only ones expected to be reading the bible) shall not sleep with a male as with a woman (Men can't sleep with men) - still nothing about women sleeping with women. Lesbians are fine.

1Tim - we'd better start firing some teachers.
 
Tell ya whut if the majority of elementary school teachers were male and were allowed to spank the Kids that need it, we'd have a helluva lot less metrosexuals running around.

As for the writing of the Bible, Constantinople had jack to do with it. All that moron did was make Christianity the "state" religion, thus the word Catholic (look the word up in the dictionary, you'll be surprised). The Bible is not called the Constantinople Version; it is called the King James Version. It was written because they wanted the word of God to be available to everyone, not just those who could read and speak Latin or Greek.

Am I the only one who reads this thing? The Bible is based not on what any Roman Emperor wrote, but on what the prophets wrote. God inspired the prophets in their writing of the various books.

I've read it, PostCode. I drew different conclusions. However, the King James version wasn't written until the 17th century. You can assume that no one put their own ideas into it if you want. You have faith and that's fine for you. If you study the history of the bible (as opposed to the "history" that's written in the bible) you find that the first bible as one collected volume dates to the time of Constantine. It's not called the "Constantinople" version because it's the "original" version. Before that there were various gospels (many of which were not included) and of course the Hebrew bible which parallels the old testament to a certain extent. I don't propose to write a fifty page history lesson or anything, but to me, the historical evidence is clear. You don't have to believe it, you don't have to agree. I don't really care that much about it. I was just using it to point out that there are conflicting points of view. When someone uses the bible to justify something like "women shouldn't teach men," I react badly. From my point of view, the bible was written by men (certainly not women) and is simply a codification of the Abrahamic and Christian myth system. :shrug:

the bible does tell us that woman will not teach men

I completely agree with the idea that this woman is an idiot however.
 
1 Timothy is not about woman teaching men in a school environment. It's about teaching men in a church, that is, in a position as a Pastor or such.

As for the version of the Bible, your right, we could debate about it and I can probably say that 50 pages would probably be enough for the first part of a exhaustive outline before any kind of actual paper were written. The Bible has been so thoroughly debated and continues to be and it'll probably never cease to be debated either. With the number of other translations out there, NASB, NIV, NKJV, etc... the debate gets even more convoluted. Heck, even the KJV went through a number of revisions as well.

I've studied a lot of History so I see your point. Neither one of us can say for sure that this or that is true. History, unfortunately, has always been about presenting one's opinions and not the facts so reading any history text should be taken with a grain of salt. We are always going to be reading opinion in some form.
 
What better way to undermine the "Religious Right"?
The Libbies have already taken over education why not have Lezbo's teaching Suzy has two Mommies in Sunday school?!?
What could be better than this woman standing up behind the pulpit on Sunday morning preaching on the evils of persecuting homo’s?
