Bible Note: Greetings, Radioman2; You asked: "are you saying that the apostle Paul, writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, contradicts himself? Are you saying that God, the Holy Spirit, contradicts Himself?" No. It appears to me that those who say God contradicts himself are the very ones who interpret these passages to mean that God desires to put women under a new law. I don't believe that God contradicts himself. I believe that the grace, unity, and freedom of Christ extend to all believers in all places. That is what the Bible teaches and it is what Paul wrote in most of his epistles. Do you greet your brothers and sisters in Christ with a holy kiss? (2 Corinthians 13:12) If not, you are just as guilty as a woman who speaks up in church. Unless, of course, Paul wrote some things that are not requirements but suggestions.
