Yeah what's wrong with you rollo? Only certain Protestants are allowed to do that. You know...those who claim Scripture as their only guide.
Paul was expressing his desire that all Christians (saints) not have the burden of raising a family, during the stressful times in which he lived.
Name a time and place in human history when there was no stress.
Damn Protestants. They think Scripture might be inspired, or something.... /s
Name a time and place in human history when there was no stress.
Don't know much about the Bible, huh? I guess you think the church is the authority, and God isn't speaking directly to the believers, through the Scriptures?
2 Timothy 3:10-17-
10You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, 11persecutions, sufferings—what kinds of things happened to me in Antioch, Iconium and Lystra, the persecutions I endured. Yet the Lord rescued me from all of them. 12In fact, everyone who wants to live a godly life in Christ Jesus will be persecuted, 13while evil men and impostors will go from bad to worse, deceiving and being deceived. 14But as for you, continue in what you have learned and have become convinced of, because you know those from whom you learned it, 15and how from infancy you have known the holy Scriptures, which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus. 16All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, 17so that the man of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.
