I'm glad you're worrying, because that means you're praying for me, too. And if I'm praying for the Spirit to open my eyes and you're praying for the same thing, then that makes two of us in agreement! I love this forum! It has been such a Godsend! I tend to be extremely literal. I look at what you say here and I think, well, okay, if that's the way you look at it then that wouldn't be a contradiction. But it means that I have to subtly change my own definition of contradiction. So maybe I just need a better word to describe/define what I mean. I've already decided that conflicting was too harsh. So perhaps contradicting is as well. But I have to stand by the fact that I have to disagree with Paul when he says he has offended no one. I love him, now, but there was a time early in my spiritual awakening when I dismissed him entirely as completely offensive and a woman-hater. How awful it would have been if I hadn't kept praying and studying! Think of everything he has to offer that I would have missed. |

Melanie Yes Paul is a little hard to read even Peter mentions it. But whatever word you use, contradicting or conflicting, there is still a problem. Either your not reading for depth or something in hindering you. There are hard to understand passages and there are passages I can read one way and someone else can read another way. However if you use the same basis for understanding you should not be finding scripture that do not agree with each other. Try this before you read pray that God will illuminate the word to you and that all seemingly conflicting or contradictory passages will be resolved. I believe you will find new pleasure reading your Bible. EdB |

That's exactly the prayer I do use. And it works because as I said, I used to care nothing for Paul and now it's just these few passages that stick in my craw. I am sure it is something within me, probably the woman, but little by little, the Spirit is working it out in me. Thank you for caring. You are like a bright star in what for me has so far has been a mostly dark and condemning forum. |
