You've used this example before when I was new on FR; I was arguing with you and looked it up. You are correct.
The Church even then was bending itself towards harmonizing the message to the faithful. After all, having dissonant messages is not a good thing. Look at all the trouble that the dissonant Paul still causes...

Look at all the trouble that the dissonant Paul still causes... So, tell me, why didn't The Church "harmonize" Paul's writings, too, while they were at it? Just, think, they might have avoided the Reformation and all us filthy Protestants!!! ;o)

It's human nature. I never imply the motive.

Worth repeating, Mark. But it's not just Paul. The Bible as a whole is dissonant and imprecise, open to interpretation and speculation.
