Are you comparing your hoped-for outcome from your "cherry picking" with the outcome of Paul's "seed picking"?
Originally posted by robbie carrobieWell, you chose to compare your "cherry picking" to Pauls' "seed picking". Is your "cherry picking" behaviour the same as ~ or different from ~ Paul's "seed picking" behaviour? What comparison are you trying to make?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieAre you comparing yourself to Paul in so far as you claim you were both criticized in similar ways for similar behaviour?

Originally posted by FMFsorry FMF when you simply start to fabricate falsehoods like I have claimed that my behaviour is similar to Pauls and that I have compared my cherry picking to Pauls seed picking then you lose all credibility and interest, have a pleasant evening.
So are you comparing yourself to Paul ~ in terms of yours and his "picking" behaviour and what you were both accused of ~ or not?

Robbie: "Even if we allow a mistranslation it does not prove that she was a priest for an apostle, from the Greek 'apostolos', literally means a sent one. ... It should be noted that the early church did not ordain women [not?] because of their name, but because of factors laid out elsewhere in scripture. In fact there was no such thing as a clergy laity distinction originally."
Splendid: concise, coherent, substantive, deserving of a well-considered answer. I shall provide one in due course, but not tonight (Saturday night--got better things to do). On the spur of the moment I can only reply that not one of Jesus' intimate entourage (includiung Peter, James, Judas, etc.) would have held the title of priest or apostle (in any language). More to follow.

Originally posted by RJHindsIs not lust considered a sin?
Do you consider a man getting married and having sex with his wife sinful?
Is that what you mean by your statement here? - There was no reason for Jesus to be born of a virgin if He was only going to turn around and ruin it by getting married.
If not, what is the meaning?
