The Importance of Silence in Relationships

In 1 Timothy chapter 2, Paul urges men and women to lift up holy hands without anger or argument. He also says that women should dress themselves modestly and decent in suitable clothing - not with their hair braided or with gold pearls as is proper for women who profess reverence for God. "Let a woman learn in silence with full submission," he writes. The Bible's story of Eden was lost and now we exist in something like this isolation saturated by fear.
