If you actually read about the Bible you would know that 1 Timothy is probably fake.

Any attempt to justify banning books from the New Testament is indirect at best. All Christians play loosy-goosy with the Bible to some degree. There are things Jesus directly warned against like gathering wealth that most Christians have no problem doing. Paul seems kinda iffy about marriage but for many Christians that's a core religious value. Meanwhile there's a bunch of stuff like book banning or being gay that's at best ambiguously condemned in the Bible that people are up in arms over.

TIL about that hypothesis. I admit, I had a good laugh.

> St. Paul wrote "it is a shame for women to speak in the church"! Noooooo, it must be fake!

You are blatantly obviously lying. The Bible strongly condemns homosexuality in several places. Try harder, Satan.
