Subject: I Tim 2:12 Paul's opinion or God's Word? |
Bible Note: Now see Rowdy this is how you get yourself in trouble. You say things that are almost correct but not totally. Paul never said do not marry he said it would be to their benefit not to marry, but if they are open to temptation lacking self control they should marry. Why did he say do not marry? Anyone in the ministry will tell you ministry is as very hard strain on marriage. The spouse will feel pressure that is beyond their control just because people try to use the inside track a spouse has with the pastor. Furthermore many called into ministry faced a problem where the calling was taking them places the family could/would not go. Lastly when persecution arises many times the spouse is attacked as way to get at the pastor. So yea it probably would be better for a one called to ministry not marry but how many have the self control? Not many my friend from the headlines with are reading. Lately you have been using a new tactic saying this is the last thing I'm going to say on this. Well that is a little like saying I want the last word and I really don't care what else you say. EdB |
