The Theos IRC chat showed an emoticon in the text of a verse.

Did the Apostles really use emoticons?

I think you're on to something, Mike. If we could restore those original emoticons, it just might clear up some of those trickier passages....

:idea: So we might come across something like this?

Let a woman learn in silence :shock: :!: with all submissiveness :o . I permit no woman to teach or to have authority over men; : she is to keep silent :twisted: . For Adam was formed first, :mrgreen: then Eve; and Adam was not deceived :D , but the woman was deceived :cry: and became a transgressor.
