Subject: Was Paul single or married? |
Bible Note: Hank, I'm not quite sure how to put this one, but I wasn't saying that Paul DID have a problem with the way that God was running things, I was suggesting that if I was to correctly understand the point of view given me, that might be a conclusion that I would draw. Believe it or not Hank, I've been known to draw some inaccurate conclusions in my time. I wasn't so much suggesting biblical fact, but personal conclusion. This making any sense to you?? Before my post, I was having a difficult time believing that it was better to be single than to be married. I've been married ten yrs. Best thing that ever happened to me, therefore I was not comprehending that it is better to be single. |
