It is not an "awesome" (are you American?) post it is a person who does not understand the Bible, the OT or the NT.
Look at the role of women in the NT. They discovered Jesus had risen from the dead, they founded churches (Lydia) they gave birth to the messiah.
All of the above was incredible to first century life and rather illustrates that if people had wanted to bend truth and convert people through decit they certainly would not have used women in prominent roles.
To quote out of context is to remove a passage from its surrounding matter in such a way as to distort its meaning. The context in which a passage occurs always contributes to its meaning, and the shorter the passage the larger the contribution. For this reason, the quoter must always be careful to quote enough of the context not to misrepresent the meaning of the quote. Of course, in some sense, all quotation is out of context, but by a "contextomy", I refer only to those quotes whose meaning is changed by a loss of context. The fallacy of Quoting Out of Context is committed when a contextomy is offered as evidence in an argument....
