if the Lord tells me homosexuality is fine, then for me is it fine? why did the Lord tell you women teaching men is okay but told paul something completely different? i guess what you are saying is that you don't take the bible's teachings on specific issues all that seriously. which is fine, but then do you view the bible as "the Word of God"? or just something to consider, but not the ultimate authority? i am just trying to understand where you are coming from.
