Subject: Was Paul single or married? |
Bible Note: CurtMan: Presented with the full context of Paul's New Testament writings, I find it impossible to agree with your observation that Paul appears to have a problem with the way that God is running things. Before we rush to judgment on Paul's supposed "problem," may I kindy suggest that we keep uppermost in our minds that we are not only casting doubt on the integrity of an apostle of Jesus Christ, but in equal measure we are also casting doubt on the integrity of Scripture itself. I shudder to think that that is the intent of your post and prefer to think that you wrote before you thought of the seriousness of your implication. --Hank |
