No error, Kevin, but only the complexities of life.   He agreed with his elders at the Jerusalem council that the Gentile converts should abstain from meat sacrificed to idols, from blood, from the meat of strangled animals and from sexual immorality. [Acts 15] but later wrote to the Corinthians that whatever they eat was a matter of conscience.   He railed against the Galatians when they circumcised themselves yet he circumcised Timothy "because of the Jews who lived in that area" [Acts 16:3]   He told the Corinthians that women should be silent in church but he later said women should cover their heads when they prayed or prophesied which means they weren't always silent in church. He also told Timothy that women would be saved in childbearing if they continued in faith, love, holiness and sobriety. BTW, Muslim women follow Paul's teaching better than the rest of us. Only the Amish do better because they also don't wear jewellery, perfume or make-up.   Paul did not write systematic theology although his epistles are the closest we have to systematic theology in the bible. His letters were answers to pressing local problems and we try to figure out Paul's theology from that. Although he travelled with writing men (Luke, Mark, Titus, Timothy), few of his sermons got recorded. It takes great discernment and wisdom to come up with Pauline theology and we have the benefit of 2000 years of brilliant believers thinking and writing about what they believe to be systematic theology. These brilliant Christians don't always agree with one another. Paul also said for the believer, everything is permissible but not everything is beneficial. He also said we don't need anyone to teach us.   In the end, sincere (meaning like the fine people here at TT) Christians have different ideas of what Paul is teaching and how to apply it to our lives. It is just as David said. No one here has 100% truth.   Love,   Caroline     ----- Original Message ----- From: Kevin Deegan To: TruthTalk@mail.innglory.org Sent: Wednesday, April 27, 2005 12:19 PM Subject: Re: Re: [Bulk] Re: [Bulk] Re: [Bulk] [TruthTalk] Hell Point is please show me the ERROR in Pauls theology!
