Subject: New Testament guidlines |
Bible Note: It is clear that Paul expected Timothy to follow his practice. By what authority then? If by the authory of Christ, how, then, can other church leaders ignore Paul's example. Was Paul following Christ, or doing his own thing? My answer to these questions lead me to believe that it is not cultural, and look at Paul's reasons in the context of that verse. That definitely makes it universal, doesn't it? |
