It’s sort of funny how much space this information still takes up in my brain and how I can still argue it fairly well. I was never really allowed to do that because you know Paul wouldn’t like it.0 -

I get that. I used to weaponize this stuff to win arguments. I much prefer discussion, openness, and wonder these days. I don't get the "Paul wouldn't like it" bit, but it will probably occur to me later after more coffee.0 -
Oh, it’s not that serious. I was just referring to Paul’s admonition for women not to teach men and not to have authority over them. I don’t follow that philosophy whatsoever and though I think there are some lovely teachings and lovely poetry and lovely metaphors there is also genocide and sexual assault and terrible injustice & I don’t actually believe Christianity. It is my heritage & culture & my birthright, however, so I feel free in talking about it and making use of it and pointing out the hypocrisies of some of the people who claim to follow it.itchmyTwitch wrote: »itchmyTwitch wrote: »In my mind, it’s not a comparison between Paul and Apollos because who even knows who Apollos is anymore but it’s a comparison between Paul and Jesus.

That seems pretty serious. 😂 I truly appreciate you sharing. I am a Christian and a walking hypocrisy... but everyone is, aside from Jesus, when you get right down to it.1 -

Yes!
This will be my only thought and share time on the matter of faith... There are a million ways to look at the Bible and decide if any or all of it is true. Back to Paul... He raises the only question that matters. Did Jesus rise from the dead? If not, all of this stuff, including Jesus, is worthless. If he did rise then...
Now that is out of the way, we can talk about important topics like "how many calories does this pint have?"0 -
Yes, I agree with your point. if a person believes that the literal creator of the universe put aside his glory, and was born in human form, took on the sins of the world, was crucified, dead, and buried and rose from the dead for their redemption, then living their faith should be a simple matter. I would still have questions though.itchmyTwitch wrote: »itchmyTwitch wrote: »
