I think he's referring to the verse after, rather than before: 1Co 7:7 For I would that all men were even as I myself. But every man hath his proper gift of God, one after this manner, and another after that. Clearly everyone cannot be celibate - the human race would end.

Really? You have my apologies. Believe it or not, sometimes I make mistakes.

The opening post basically wanted to brand a scarlet letter on half the forum members... I assume it's so they can properly look down on them.

Only the ones in the house directly to the north of us. The people to the south are pretty chill.

Luke 11:43 Woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye love the uppermost seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets.

Hold up... Moses didn't actually atone for their sin. Moses asked for their forgiveness and God said... no. Acts 7 seems relevant as well: 38 This is he, that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel which spoke to him in the mount Sinai, and [with] our fathers: who received the...

Tell me you didn't read the chapter without telling me you didn't read the chapter

What we're talking about here is Paul saying that it's better NOT to marry... and even Paul recognizes that this is NOT something he's inspired to say, so he's putting a footnote on it. Essentially he's saying "this one is from me, not God."

What about the non-inspired ones... 1Co 7:6 But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment.

No, I'm asking what you think it means

Yes I read it. I responded telling you that your question was bad, and exactly how and why it was bad. Did you understand my posts?

Yes, Jesus death is essential, because without that we couldn't have the resurrection. And the resurrection is essential because it demonstrates Christ's victory over death, a vouchsafe of His Lordship. All of that together is the gospel. You shouldn't try to split it into parts. Separating...

What do you think Lord means?

Then why are you?

Doctrine is not established from single verses. Here's a chapter from Matthew: [Mat 27:1-66 KJV] 1 When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: 2 And when they had bound him, they led [him] away, and delivered him to...

King is not a particularly prestigious title in the Bible. A King is most often the ruler over a single city, occasionally a territory - and always a vassal to someone with the title Prince or Captain or Emperor (these are much more prestigious titles). Jesus is a king over the city of...

Is that a joke? There's multiple chapters across 4 books dedicated to telling the story. I will say this - the "good news" is really about the resurrection as proof of Jesus' coronation as Lord. But trying to split hairs and separate these things up is a fool's errand. It's all one thing...

I just provided such a verse, but that's fairly trivial compared to the 4 whole books dedicated to the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus that we call the gospels.

His legacy? What does this have to do with asking for ice cream, or turning his back to the cameras?

It's not an executive order, new legislation, or an EPA action. From the article: Biden ... is using authority under the federal Outer Continental Shelf Lands Act to protect offshore areas ... from future oil and natural gas leasing. ... The 72-year-old law that Biden cited allows the...
