[QUOTE]Originally posted by Ancient Mariner: [QB] CHURCH TIMES St Paul wins ‘worst’ vote by Ed Beavan A ST PAUL “classic” has been voted the “worst verse in the Bible” in a poll by the irreverent Christian website Ship of Fools. The winning verse, 1 Timothy 2.12, in which St Paul does not “permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man”, was unveiled as the most unpopular Bible text in the survey at the Greenbelt Festival on Monday. The second most disliked text was 1 Samuel 15.3, in which God orders the destruction of the family of Amalek, while Exodus 22.18 was voted third-worst: Moses says: “Do not allow a sorceress to live.” Two other verses from Paul also appear in the top ten: one where he condemns homosexuality in Romans 1, and one in Ephesians 5 where he calls on wives to “submit to their hus bands as to the Lord”. St Peter also gets in, with a verse appearing to condone slavery, 1 Peter 2. Stephen Goddard, co-editor of Ship of Fools, said he believed that the “winning” verse was chosen because it was still “live” today. “It’s still used to ‘shut women up’ and stop them preaching.” [/QB][/QUOTE]
