$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'D')oes the bible tell you that women are incapable/unqualified (pick word of your choosing) of holding this type of responsibility or is that something you thought up on your own?

[clueless]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'A')t least based on the quote and rationale you provide, I would have to conclude that you thought it up on your own and perhaps justify it from liberal interpretation of your source material. No real problem with that, although you would have a decision to make about hermaphrodites. Does the bible say anything about what people of ambiguous gender can do or not?

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'f')or several yearsin the 80's I followed a flipped out guru Osho (formerly known as Bhagwan shree Rajneesh) . You may remember the ranch they had in your home state of Oregon back in the 80's and all the intrigue surrounding its demise. It was a wild time when I look back on that now. So much energy and so much deception. I learned alot of lessons from that.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', '1')Co 14:34 Let your women keep silence in the churches: for it is not permitted unto them to speak; but they are commanded to be under obedience, as also saith the law.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'W')ell, hermaphrodites can marry in all states as long as they claim a gender that is the opposite of the one they are marrying. In some states they can claim either relationship. Checking genitals would not resolve anything since by definition they would gave both sets. So, the question would be do you count them as both male and female, or neither male nor female.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('clueless', 'H')ow many hermorphadites are there actually out there ? And has this issue ever came up ? I have never heard of it.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('rogerhb', 'S')o normal solution is to persecute the offenders (ie people who are not 100% one way or the other) rather than modify their view of a black and white world.

[Ibon]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('dinopello', 'D')oes buddhism offer a reason why goodness and purity are 'right'? Is that dictated from some higher power or do they claim it is self-evident or is it based on practical experience or what ? I guess I should take some religion courses. Didn't have much time for that in engineering school.

Sure glad to see this finally getting straightened out:

Vatican to review state of limbo]Vatican to review state of limbo

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'F')or centuries many Roman Catholics have believed that the souls of babies who die before baptism remain in limbo.

But the concept has never been part of official Church teaching, and it is thought Pope Benedict may be keen to do away with it.

...Limbo has also been held to be the final destination for people who lived virtuous lives before the time of Christ. It is not certain whether this teaching is likely to be changed.

[rogerhb]

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Zardoz', 'I')t's tough to reconcile all these concepts, isn't it?
