Those who know the scripture know that all men are sinners. To deny this is foolish. But there is a remedy. That's the good news. The term 'gospel' means 'good news'. But what is the good news? What was Peter's advice to the crowd in Acts 2? 37When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, "Brothers, what shall we do?" 38Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. Repent means to turn away from sin. Is it repentant to deny that a sin is a sin? A literal reading of the passage in Corinthians shows that women praying or prophesying with their hair uncovered is a shameful sin. I'll wager that women in your church have fine looking hair because they are showing it off. They are not ashamed to show their hair yet claim to be literal followers of the Word. Seems to me like they are unrepentant sinners and their spiritual leader is also an unrepentant sinner because he won't point it out to them. Try it again, assuming God is real. Try it again assuming the bible is a blessed gift given for our benefit. Doesn't work so well, does it?
It doesn't work for any example of truthful writing. There's just no benefit in telling oneself a lie. Yet you still tell yourself the lie that those women are not sinning despite your supposed adherence to a literal reading of the Word of God.
A faith that connot survive collision with the truth is not worth many regrets. -- Arthur C. Clarke
