Talarico: "Paul says that in Christ there is neither male nor female which is pretty woke for the first century."

[cowboyusa]

he’s toast.

[Organic Panic]

Another sodomite willing to lie about the bible to advance the evil democrat party.

[Dalberg-Acton]

Paul commands, “I do not permit a woman to teach or to exercise authority over a man; rather, she is to remain quiet” (1 Tim. 2:12)

[stanne]

I was mistaken

“per Catholic theology, St. Paul is considered a true Apostle, commonly known as the “Apostle to the Gentiles,” despite not being one of the original twelve.”

[Iron Munro]

Democrats !!!!

A group of the most ignorant, brain washed, arrogant know-it-all people on the planet.

They don’t know what a women is or which bathroom to use but claim to know what someone who lived 2,000 years ago was thinking.

[Republican Wildcat]

Paul calls himself an Apostle in those letters...

Sacrilege. Socialist distortion.

[stanne]

Yes. You are correct

[OrangeHoof]

I despise “Christians” who try to mask their socialism behind a Bible. Pete Buttigieg was the last one.

A church I used to attend had a Spanish language Sunday School. The sign said “Jesus es Senor” — one of the members said it meant “Jesus is The Man.” (”You’re the man” was a phrase meaning “you’ve done a good job, etc.”

I told him I thought it meant “Jesus is Lord.”

Anyway, I wondered what word your verse used. It was anthropos and not kyrios.

Okay, so if Paul is woke and believes in transgenderism, then we must toot wokeness and transgenderism must be rooted out of the government and public.

[stanne]

Yes. I goofed. Paul is an Apostle. Not one of the original 12

[Flavious_Maximus]

“...Paul says that in Christ there is neither male nor female...”

Paul is referring to the spirit, not the physical body. He is speaking about the soul.

[Texas Eagle]

He also said womyn should not speak in church. Do something with that, Talarico.

[Salman]

We already have the theology whereby Jesus was whatever is currently fashionable. Why not the apostle Paul, too? { snicker }

[A_perfect_lady]

He said “in Christ,” not “in public bathrooms.”

[SaxxonWoods]

All the apostles were gay. It’s just a matter of time...

[Governor Dinwiddie]

This guy is one of those Mexicans who worships statues and pictures and candles.

[RatRipper]

Moron has obviously never read the first chapter of Romans.

[daniel1212]

What ignorance. Sounds like an atheist who ignores context and sense. All believers are "one in Christ Jesus" yet that does not negate positional distinctions, gender roles, etc., as the same Paul taught.

And the sense of "woke" Paul addresses is one that the pol needs:

Awake to righteousness, and sin not; for some have not the knowledge of God: I speak this to your shame. (1 Corinthians 15:34)
