??? Another display of a shallow understanding of the Scriptures.

Might I suggest you find out who Timothy was, what he was doing, where he was, the laws of Rome concerning marriage, the Jewish exception to Roman marital laws, the perception of what Christianity was during Paul’s time, and the mindset of the Roman Gentile converts concerning marriage after conversion.

Then and only then can you come to the correct conclusion of what Paul was talking about. Might I suggest you actually use a reputable Bible Commentary?
