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

The Apostles were theologians?
Maybe the apostle
Paul was, but were the Twelve Apostles theologians?
Peace be with
you.
