Bible Note: Hello, Joe, I agree with you TO a point. Often I quote 2 Tim 3:16 “All Scripture is inspired of God, and is useful for teaching, useful for correction, and useful for training in righteousness” ---- Useful, how? “So that the person of God may be fully equipped for all good work.” Isn’t “sharing” the gospel “good work?” Women aren't allowed to do that? I'm not going to tell that to all the woman on this forum that they "aren't allowed" to answer questions, and if they need any answers to ask their husbands. Are you? How we apply Scripture MUST also take in consideration of how it was “applied” when the Holy Spirit inspired it to be written. I’m from the school where you keep things in context of not only the surrounding verses, but also Scripture itself. It’s not so much what does Paul say about ….(?) It IS about what does Scripture say about …(?) We CAN”T take and apply much of Scripture to our daily walk. It would be against all that God has taught us through the “other” Scriptures. The Scriptures have many “paradoxes.” Proverbs 26:4-5 is but one example. Depending upon the circumstances, culture, timing, plus other variables, we “apply or don’t apply” one, or the other, of those verses accordingly. Thanks for your kindly reminder of being careful. Yet, I need to stand by my original thought about what I stated, and I trust you can “feel” what I am carefully stating. Paul addressed specific situations that were tended to and dealt with the church in Corinth, that other churches didn’t have. And other churches had situations that he dealt with that other places didn’t have. That IS why he, and other "authors", addressed their specific letters to a specific church, need(s),or individual. Respectfully, Taleb |
