I am also convinced that we aren´t allowed to drop some parts of the Bible, only because they´re uncomfortable to us, although I know that the first chapter of Paul´s letter to the Romans is an obstacle for many homosexuals to become Christians. I had (and sometimes still have) a serious problem with Paul´s attitude towards women. Subordination and being calm don´t fit in with my temper. On the one hand, I think that Paul is still in the jewish tradition, where women were honored and appreciated, but simpy didn´t appear in public. On the other hand, it is important to see the context and what Paul demands of the men: They should be ready to give their lives for their women. Getting aware of this fact, I couldn´t see the women-hater in Paul any more.
