You are correct in you assessment of Don’s interpretation of
1st Corinthians 11. Don, believes that Paul’s ideas concerning a covering is his own opinion during the first century. Paul also lets the reader know that if they have any argument over this issue they are to forget about what Paul has said and continue on their merry way. Anyone following Don’s postings would draw the conclusion that Don, believes that God also gives opinions to mankind. That the Bible maybe followed to be a good citizen if you happen to stumble upon a copy. If not God will grant you a pass and if you have good instincts, and you are a “right living” man you will be saved. Whatever that may look like. Don is apparently the judge. Don, is the result of years of being in a religion which he felt was unkind, uncaring, unloving, and most of all didn’t give him rule over others. For this cause he took his show on the road to straighten out the ecclesiastical Neanderthals. When he gets push back, he gets upset, and starts to name call. But, since he is the closest to the litter box, he doesn’t smell it. Then projects his own bad behavior on others. Accusing them of his own behavior. I could only imagine what his eschatology looks like, since most teach eschatology with artistic license, Don’s rendition would be a dumpster fire. Like everything else in Don’s bag of ecclesiastical magic tricks. Jesus and the Apostles just want to narrow the way, and close the door to destruction. While broadening and swinging wide the door to eternal life. While carnal immature human emotion may swoon towards this idea. The mature spiritual mind cannot understand how a deity would be so unfair. Don, isn’t the first to present the Gospel of Inclusion, and isn’t alone in his stinking thinking. But, has a lot of company in the world today.
