Albion,
Wow!
I get such a warm fuzzy feeling all over, reading your response. <!-- s

It matters not that you think he may have used an egotistical woman hater as his chief apostle and writer of the New Testament. You can simply opt out
of any scripture that doesn't make you feel good or that you disagree with and edit it out of your Bible.
If you had simply said you did not understand Paul's writings, I would not have written what I did, but you went far beyond that. You said
Your statement about Paul not liking women is just more slander against him and against the Holy Spirit who spoke and wrote through him.
I counted the words "I" 31 times, "me" 10 times and "my" 9 times in your post to me. They total 50 in all for about 37 sentences.
"A guy all wrapped up in himself makes a pretty small package.", said Abe Lincoln; and a fairly boring one as well, I might add.
I think you might have an ego problem there, Albion.

How do you know that? Did God tell you he never gets angry? Again, what Bible are you reading? Have you never read,
I am not usually angry, but when I see a professing Christian attacking the scriptures in a general sweeping wave of the hand, saying, "Yeah, Paul was probably an ego maniac and woman hater.", I get angry, and I believe God gets angry. I will reprove the person who says such things when it is in my power to do so, for it is an underhanded assault on the word of God and the faith of Christ. You are voicing the words of Satan when you speak such words, and I am calling you on it.
Aren't you afraid of blaspheming The Holy Spirit? It seems to me that you are coming close to that danger by your cavalier and glib words against the inspired apostle's words. I find it amazing that someone can be so non-chalant while "they despise authority, and revile excellency." Jude 1:8
And please do not plead that you believe in the love of God, God is Love, merciful, etc. You say you believe in everlasting torment in Gehenna.
I am a universalist. I believe all souls will ultimately receive life eternal. That does not mean there is no hell of timeless torments. It simply means that God's love is all powerful and victorious over all evil and sin. He will change us by His own will and word, by His eternal blood and Spirit of Holiness, when He chooses.
If you do not believe that, don't boast to me about how great God's love is.
The only way for any to be right in God's sight is to repent of sin, turn from it and receive God's forgiveness. That will never change.
Repent and be forgiven.
Dave

If you had simply said you did not understand Paul's writings, I would not have written what I did, but you went far beyond that. You said
Quote:"I also believe that perhaps Paul had ego problems because he kept saying "Do AS I DO". Instead of: "Do as MESSIAH did!"Why should we care what you believe about The Apostle Paul's ego? You have already lost the slanderous argument you made against him, as evident by your defense, "I don't understand Paul's writings.", and your lack of support for your position in your response to me.
Your statement about Paul not liking women is just more slander against him and against the Holy Spirit who spoke and wrote through him.
