he is one true god. I never believed in him until I read Corinthians. It basically says women love and respect your husbands like you would jesus. Keep your mouths shut and follow every mans law becasue there is nothing more sinful on this planet than a woman.

In verses 28 and 30, tongue-speakers and prophets are to be silent also when church authorities and leaders are speaking. In both of those verses, it is calling for a temporary silence, not a complete nor permanent prohibition.

AgentAjax: And here I was thinking anyone who doesn't obey these laws set by Jesus is making a mockery of both the saviour and the scripture. I guess Christians are selective in what they choose to believe in. I wonder why atheist laugh at Christian logic.
There are many denominations, no church congragation is perfect, only Jesus is perfect, follow Jesus.
While some of this article’s theories have been accepted by mainstream critical scholars, others venture into more speculative scenarios.
One of these concerns Simon Magus. Church fathers condemned him as the originator of Gnostic heresy, with its hostility to the God of the Jews and the Torah. So it may come as a shock that Paul, the foremost Christian apostle and author of much of our New Testament, might actually be the same person as Simon.
It is difficult to obtain a consistent train of thought from Paul’s epistles. The writings are rambling and disjointed with conflicting theologies. Did Paul uphold the Law or didn’t he? Did he allow women to participate in church or didn’t he? Did he seek approval for his gospel from men or didn’t he? Scholars such as Herman Detering and Robert Price propose the radical view that the Pauline letters have been interpolated into and reworked by later scribes to erase or tone down its Gnostic concepts. This made it more palatable to the infant proto-orthodox Roman Church. The unadulterated original letters, it is suggested, must be the work of Simon Magus or one of his followers.
Parallels exist between Simon and Paul. Simon was notorious for his encounter with the apostle Peter. In Galatians 2:11–14, Paul and Peter are at odds with each other. Simon was called the “Father of Heresies”; Paul was called the “Apostle of the Heretics.” Simon claimed to be someone great, saying “the small shall become great.” The Latin name “Paul” means “small.” The Jewish historian Josephus tells of a magician who may have been Simon whom he calls “Atomus” or “indivisible,” i.e., “small.”
If the identification of Paul with Simon is correct, a large part of the New Testament was founded on the works of an arch-heretic.
