Subject: Is Steve really all wrong? |
Bible Note: I totally and honestly apologize if I threatened the health of this forum in any way. That was never my intention. I responded to the thread that I responded in not to the whole discussion for a reason. In I Tim. 3:2 it says an elder should be a husband of one wife. Steve said this meant he should be married. Everyone else said no that is not what it means it means an elder should have sexual purity. I happened to see Steve’s point. All he was saying is if God meant it to say sexual purity why did he say husband (denotes marriage) of one wife (again denotes marriage). Is that so wrong as to threaten the health of this forum? |
