Nothing in scripture construes the issue as either-or. Nary a hint of prohibition depending on circumstances: serve the Lord; better to remain single, but by all means if you wish to marry do so (with no “but you’ll have to quit that service” requirement).
-—Nothing in scripture construes the issue as either-or.——
And where in Scripture does Jesus establish the Scriptures as His ONLY earthly authority?
Nowhere.
Where does He establish His Church, which the gates of hell will not prevail against, as His earthly authority?
Right here:
“If he refuses to listen to them, tell the church. If he refuses to listen even to the church, then treat him as you would a Gentile or a tax collector.”
Tell the Bible? No! Listen to the Scriptures? No! Listen to His Church.
Jesus’ Church is a visible, earthly Church, because it’s impossible to take disputes to an invisible church.
