[who knows what evil?]

"I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man but to be in silence." 1 Timothy 2:12

"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. And if they will learn anything, let them ask their husbands at home; for it is a shame for women to speak in the church." 1 Corinthians 14: 34-37

That should send your friend into the stratosphere for a bit. :-)

I actually brought those into our conversation, along with a couple of other verses. Her reaction was to tell me that, well, “letting” my husband be head of the house is all right for me, but she and her husband love and respect each other too much.

Yes, she went there. She also told me she could never respond to her husband as “lord and master.” I think she really believes that’s what I do.

(I told my husband that part, and he said, “Well, any time you want to start would be appropriate.”) LOL

That was written because the women in that church were always asking during the reading of Paul’s letters what did he mean. Then it was taken out of context to apply to all churches ever since.
