I do not think that after thousands of years of waiting for the messiah the world would be remiss to celebrate his coming.

Like ALL protestants you take your mistranslated 1500s translations as the only word of God, and throw away the teachings of the apostles. As most 'sola-scripture' touters you insist to take 1 or 2 lines completely out of context, it is folks like you who make the bible seem inconsistent.

Do you confess your sins to the church each Sunday as Christ commands?

Do you keep women silent in your church as Paul, who speaks as commandments of God commands?

Do your women cover their heads as Paul also commands?

Yet of course you're an EXPERT on scripture.

I confess my sins to God every day and talk about my sins with other church members, yes. Scripture doesn't say to do this on Sunday nor is it a commandment of Christ though James does mention it.

Pauls actual words are:

1Ti 2:11 A woman must quietly receive instruction with entire submissiveness.
1Ti 2:12 But I do not allow a woman to teach or exercise authority over a man, but to remain quiet.
1Ti 2:13 For it was Adam who was first created, and then Eve.

As commanded, women do not have teaching misterial position or exercise authority over men.

Do your women cover their heads as Paul also commands?

Long hair, as Paul points out, is a head covering for women:

1Co 11:13 Judge for yourselves: is it proper for a woman to pray to God with her head uncovered?
1Co 11:14 Does not even nature itself teach you that if a man has long hair, it is a dishonor to him,
1Co 11:15 but if a woman has long hair, it is a glory to her? For her hair is given to her for a covering.

Yet of course you're an EXPERT on scripture.

I'm far from an expert. I mostly just try to believe what I read.

It's all pick and choose, pick and choose. Find the gimmick to latch onto and you're off. Of course, the gimmick should be something really easy to follow and something that is only surface-deep.
