Re: 1Co11.2-16. Instincts. The Cover of Shame.

You're nuts.

Or, intellectually dishonest.

Or, an intentional falsifier and deceiver.

Or, you're running for political office.

Re: Current State of the Forum

Well, the people who foot the bill for the forum. Maybe they don't "own" it, per se.

Re: "What God put together and adulterous relation

I disagree.

The commentaries you cite bring up 1 Corinthians 7:40.

The key terms there are: γνώμην gnomen and δοκῶ doko.

The first refers to a personal opinion or judgment, i.e. advice (See...

Re: "What God put together and adulterous relation

Excluded.

Consider the qualifications laid out in the Scriptures, and how such a scenario fails nearly every standard:

Re: Moses was unfaithful when called

Don, this portion of your post deserves its own attention.



Moses didn't murder anyone. The Hebrew term in Exodus 2:14 is הָרַג - harag. It means "to kill". It never means to murder.

Murder,...

Re: "What God put together and adulterous relation

Once a divorce has been finalized, both according to the Torah, and according to State and Federal law, the offending party is free to marry again.

Re: Moses was unfaithful when called

1 Timothy 1:12 (ESV),



Apparently, for Paul, being appointed by Christ Jesus our Lord to service, i.e. ministry occurs when the Lord accounts a man as faithful, i.e. obedient and dependable.

Re: "What God put together and adulterous relation

Re: Scripture interpretation

Judaic peshat and midrash isn't Christian peshat and midrash. If there are equivalent or better English terms, that's fine. We can say literal and figurative, for example, but I don't think those...
