Cheryl,

I have often wondered WHY God put 1 Tim 2:12 in there?  I’m sure HE knew the difficulty and strife which would result.  When I was a hierarchalist, I used to think something like  “I don’t understand it, but HE must have had HIS reasons.  HE’s capable of making his will crystal clear without this muddy water if HE wanted.”

I still don’t understand why God didn’t avoid putting in verses which HE knows were destined to be used to muzzle women?
