Who really gives a rats what Paul thinks anyway?

Churchie Christians follow Paul the bigot in order to justify their bigotry. They rarely quote Jesus' beatitudes because Jesus was not a bigot.

Paul never quoted any of Jesus' advice, because Paul never knew what Jesus taught.

One churchie person recently explained why he follows Paul. He said, "Paul tells us what Jesus forgot to tell us."

***

@RB: You wrote "He [Paul] also clarified when he wrote "by permission". -- Think about that ........... Just because Paul said he had permission to contradict Jesus did not mean that was a fact.

Later in the Bible, according to the Bible, Jesus said Paul was a liar.

Jesus commends the church at Ephesus for discerning the lying apostles. Rev. 2:1,2.

Paul was the apostle to Ephesus. Eph.1:1.

Jesus not only referred to Paul as a fraud - he called him and his representatives "Liars"

Of such Old and New Testaments

we put off the Old to put on the New;

And Paul writes over 50% of the NT, so

more than all 7 other NT writers combined.

And Paul's gospel isn't the gospel of Jesus,

which was notably division, and not peace;

But as noted in Romans 1, it's two things:

- "the gospel of God": Grace, and

- "the gospel of Christ": Peace (Rest)

For when you get to the New Testament,

there's still this important matter to resolve:

- the new and living way: grace

- isn't new and dead way: law

JC said it this way:

- the God of the living: grace

- isn't God of the dead: law

Interesting thing about Paul is

he's also author of Revelation:

For if John were author of Revelation, it would end badly;

But it does not end baldy, cause it ends with Paul's token:

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ [be/is] with you all. Amen.

Who reads a book like that?!

Grabbing a book, turning to the middle of the book, and start reading from there, finishing a few minutes later while still in the same chapter??!!

I think if you read the whole book, not the Bible, but the book you were in (Romans? Galations? Ephesians? He wrote a bunch of those books) in the way you should normally read a book, I think that would later find out the answer to your own question.

Actually Jesus DID speak on divorce....Matthew 2, 5 and 19 for starters. Keep reading.

That wasn't the Bible you were reading - you must have been having a nightmare.

If you are going to use the Bible - quote it correctly

has nothing to do with sex

I Corinthians 7:10 And unto the married I command, yet not I, but the Lord, Let not the wife depart from her husband: 11 But and if she depart, let her remain unmarried, or be reconciled to her husband: and let not the husband put away his wife.

12 But to the rest speak I, not the Lord: If any brother hath a wife that believeth not, and she be pleased to dwell with him, let him not put her away.

13 And the woman which hath an husband that believeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell with her, let her not leave him. 14 For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband: else were your children unclean; but now are they holy.

15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him depart. A brother or a sister is not under bondage in such cases: but God hath called us to peace.

If the husband dies while they are still married (not divorced) - she is free to marry another - ONLY in the Lord (saved brother/sister)

39 The wife is bound by the law as long as her husband liveth; but if her husband be dead, she is at liberty to be married to whom she will; only in the Lord.

Everything that Paul allows a woman to do, I can do very happily Without reading Paul!

You need to study what Paul was saying.

Paul wrote a major part of the New Testament. He was inspired of God. He also clarified when he wrote "by permission".

Absolutely!

God cared enough to put it in his written word. All scripture is inspired by God and beneficial for teaching and setting things straight---- so in reality they are Gods inspired words so what you are saying is who gives a rats --- about what God thinks. not a wise decision.

You Obviously do because you asked the question, If You didn't Give a rat ? Why ask (all reasons you give are rejected in advance)
