Bible Note: Just a thought... (initiated by SRN's comment)... what does convenience have to do with anything? Whether a thing is convenient or not has no bearing on our lives as Christians. God does not call us to a life of convenience, does He? Jesus' life wasn't very convenient... nor Pauls', nor the disciples' ... what right do we have to convenience? Back to the subject at hand, I think that God's plan is often simple in concept, but difficult in application because of our sinful nature. This applies to marriage as much as any other part of our life. Could you expand on what you mean when you say that these passages "must be taken in context". Does that mean in the context of the whole of Scripture, or in context of our society, or in the context of the setting of that particular verse? |
