Knowing the context of this passage is important. This passage is not God speaking to his people, it’s the Apostle Paul telling Timothy how to run a church. It is not the Bible nor God saying women should be silent. Instead it is Paul telling Timothy that they should not preach in Timothy’s ministry.

Some additional historical context, at the time where Timothy was going to minister, many pagan priestesses held gatherings where they would shout and show skin and attracted participants with sex and a show and Paul was telling Timothy that women and sex should not be the thing that draws in people whom he intended to minister too. He suggested they cover up and hide their heads and remain quiet and not be the focus of the moment because he should want to distance himself from what amounts to orgies in the area.

Don’t want to be the guy to harsh on word choice but come on. In the year 2025 you are using a slur as an adjective? Do better…

I would say judges should be the ones to swear in all elected officials in the federal government as in theory they are meant to be nonpartisan and unaffiliated but we all know that isn’t the reality of the situation. No party should be able to directly stop the action of any elected official based purely on their party affiliation or political platform. Even better still, elected individuals should be sworn in before the election results roll in and should take office the same day the election results are finalized.

Well y’all can have him. Right now that pedophile is putting hard working people out of work and letting the poorest among us miss meals all while he rounds up people with darker skin than him to make them disappear. I’m really much more concerned with the evil he is doing here at home than the federalization of Europe. Plank in your own eye and all that.

How about don’t waste taxpayer money on doing a meme professionally before you’ve even been sworn into office? Thanks

I know this is a joke but if you ask for black coffee or unsweet tea, you will get what you are expecting in most cases. They may ask as a courtesy if you want sweeteners or creamers with that because many people wish to sweeten their drinks themselves as they may prefer artificial sweeteners or wish to control their dairy or sugar intake for dietary reasons.
