No, the problem is that you stated that studying the Scripture to find out what it really means is a "slippery slope." That's what I was replying to......not the specific passage. (And I said nothing about its being 'ambiguous' You are arguing apples to oranges, and your reply was completely off base (as well as nasty). It is NOT a slippery slope to dig deeper into a passage to find out what it really means, and YOU said that it was. You are wrong. Period.

I would like to know if it would really make any difference to you if I gave specific data regarding the meaning of that passage? I can, and I will, if you will respond by actually thinking about what I present and replying without the insults. But I will not waste my time if you deflect and distort what I say, and insult me again as you just did.

If you are seriously interested in the data that I have to present another interpretation of Corinthians, I will gladly present it. I'd actually like to see if you are open to another side that is equally Scripturally based, but somehow from your past replies, I don't think honest dialogue and exchange of ideas based on Scripture, are what you're looking for.

studying the Scripture to find out what it really means is a "slippery slope."

No no no. I meant that ignoring clear Scripture in favor of "possible explanations" is a slippery slope. For example, the Bible condemns adultery rather clearly. But a person could say that the Scripture is ambiguous on the matter and justify their behavior.
