Bible Question:
Thanks for your reply. It is interesting the different viewpoints put forth in the Bible, isn't it? On one hand, Paul says that a man who doesn't take care of his own household is not fit to serve in the church in an official capacity and to love his wife as Christ loves the church. On the other hand, Jesus teaches to leave your wife and children to follow Him. Sure has me confussed. It doesn't sound to me like they were preaching the same gospel. Any thoughts? seeking4truth |
Bible Answer: seeking4truth - Would you mind stating your reason for coming to StudyBibleForum? While I do not impugn your motives, I am nevertheless wondering whether you come to seek the truth of God's word or to ridicule it and those of us who believe it to be inerrant. I believe that your honest answer to my question will impact the kind of reception you will have on this Forum. If you come indeed seeking for truth, you are welcomed to this spot. If your motives are to ridicule Scripture, you are not welcomed. Which is it, seeking4truth? --Hank |
