1 | I Tim 2:12 Paul's opinion or God's Word? | 1 Tim 2:12 | Rowdy | 123347 | ||
I'll agree with the overall sentiment of your statement but surely you're not trying to say that all of us should avoid marriage as per Paul's instructions. Again I say Paul's instructions were directed to a special audience to deal with a particular crisis. Now, when and if we have a similar crisis those words might be more applicable. But as it stands now Paul was clarifying his opinions from the Lord's commands. This kind of guidance allowed those folks options just as we have in today's world. Paul loved them so much, he just didn't want to see them get hurt. I'll have to stand by my statement and let the Forum Watchers make their judgment as they need to. When it comes down to following the words or men or God, I'm afraid I will always side with Joshua, his family, Peter, John and all the others in the Bible. I'll still pray for God to help enlighten you on this tough subject. God bless. --Rowdy PS: I'm sorry but I just gotta ask. IF you knew this much about this controversy, why did you copy only a portion of my statement which made it appear to be a misrepresentation to the casual observer? |

Rowdy, Again, 2 Timothy 3:16-17 says that ALL SCRIPTURE is God inspired, whether spoken by Jesus or not ... and even as Steve pointed out, not a command of the Lord. While ALL of the writers of the Bible wrote to a particular group and time ... it is for us today, again according to 2 Timothy 3:16-17. Searcher |
