The basic thrust of 1 Corinthians 7:17-24 is that Christianity is completely consistent with all walks of life. You can serve God in whatever station God has placed you. This doesn't mean that it's a sin to change your station if the opportunity presents itself. Verse 21 demonstrates this...

It might help if we could have a few examples of these "deletions."

Hello Miss Hepburn,Thank you for your question. I appreciate your concern for the proper exegesis of Biblical texts.The text of Romans 3 demonstrates the general depravity and corruption of mankind, of the Jews as well as of the Gentiles. Verse 11, in context of course, is a very pointed...

What it doesn't mean: Christ's work of atonement was insufficient and incomplete. What it does mean: Just as Christ's suffering brought great benefits for those who are in him, so Christ's ministers likewise suffer in the building up of Christ's body.Col 1:28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone...

Hello Mina, :)I'm glad to hear that you have let God into your heart. I do not know anything about Buddism, but I do know what God says to us in the Scriptures:Exo 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before me." This means that there is only one God and he does not share his glory with false...

Exactly. I thought one of Mick's posts regarding the Trade Towers and 911 was praiseworthy. So what does that prove here in this thread?

I invite you to look up the terms "strawman argument" and "caricature." I'll end this ridiculous exchange with a quote:

In context? No, not the way you're using it -- completely out of context. Your take on this verse proves too much. It inevitably has Paul contradicting himself. What Paul is driving at is clear when you interpret your proof-text in context. Gal 3:24 So then, the law was our guardian until...
