1 | Color commentary vs direction for living | 1 Corinthians | beensetfree | 70891 | ||
EdB: You pose an interesting question. How does one determine what is "color commentary" on how to live and what is "direction" for living? Do we read, study, and examine scripture to glean the overarching prinicple God wants us to live by? Continuing to use as an example the issue of long hair for women per 1 Corinthians, is the overarching principle God wants us to live by that women live and present themselves in such a manner as to glorify God in all manner of dress and care of self? I would humbly suggest, yes. I also cannot help but think this section in 1 Corinthians speaks to the current issue of women dressing like men and wearing their hair as many men do. Further, look at the entire context of this passage. What is the main focus? Prayer. And the second issue? The headship of man. I pray I don't raise the hackles of a few readers by tossing out some of these thoughts. I look forward to reading some of the forum contributers thoughts on this topic. Thank you for letting me respond! Beensetfree |

Confucious Hi I'm not sure about your ID but what you said is so true. Many 'Christians' today live as they want, and question God about the results. EdB |

Being that I am a "new" Christian I learned alot. My name is because there are some things in my life that I am having a hard time dealing with. Knowing God's word is not helping me overcome them. Maybe because I'm willing to see where things could go. A "Christian" would know you can not comprise with what the Bible says. But I am not here to judge. You can bend it to fit your situation, but HIS word will not change. | ||||||

Confucious You hit the nail on the head. Many think because they can bend the Word they are able to change the word. The Word stands in judgement of their attempt. EdB |
