Re: [TruthTalk] Dave, what does thi versemean to you?

[Dave]

will you tell us the mormon interpretation (or, at the very least, your interpretation DAVEH:   I'm not sure why you want to know my opinion on this, Perry.   I thought you might prefer to delete my posts instead of responding to them, as you might think it would give me platform to preach Mormonism.   :-)     I don't see that Paul's mission was any different than the current day apostle of the LDS Church.  He/they are a special witness of our Lord, Jesus Christ.   I view their missions as being to testify of Jesus to as many people as they can.  To do that efficiently, requires that they not tarry much to perform baptisms.  That may have been particularly pertinent to Paul, as I suspect finding bodies of water sufficient for immersive baptisms would have occupied a fair amount of his time in an arid climate without the modern transportation conveniences we have now.  Even so, baptisms can easily be performed by those given the authority to do so who are not so time constrained, which is the case now as it was in Jesus' time.  We do not have record of our Lord performing baptisms, yet he set the example by being baptized himself.  Why would we expect Paul (or latter-day apostles) to be any different?

Exactly what is Paul trying to say here? 1 cor 9:14 In the same way, the Lord has commanded that those who preach the gospel should receive their living from the gospel.
