Bible Note: Hey glory2, I'm not saying your wrong my friend, but quoting from Galatians 3:28 doesn't come close to making the argument. Be careful not to jerk a portion of a verse out and attempt to qualify an entire belief on it. Go back and read the verse within the context of the verses before and after it. What is the focus of the passage? Is it the roles of individuals? Or is it the work of faith? If Galatians 3:28 is teaching that there are no distinctions to be made between the roles and functions of males and females what would be the consequences of that? I can think of one right off. A strong argument to justify homosexuality. Then of course we would have to throw out all of what the NT teaches about how a man is to love his wife and how a wife is to be subject to her husband. We should never attempt to use Scripture to support our beliefs. Better, we should ensure that it is Scripture that establishes what we believe. Christ's love, Jeff |
