Remember the teaching Singleness teaching and craze in the late 80s early 90s ? teaching that it was better to remain single than to get married ?
They took what was St. Paul's own personal opinion and turned it into a dogmatic doctrine, but yet ? without comparing scripture with scripture.
Not counting that there is far more scripture that favors marriage than being single.
I think ? the feminists promoted that teaching and it crept into the church.

Well, there is a lot of divorce under man's legal system going on these days. Getting married as a trial experiment, without everlasting commitment to the marriage vow on the part of both parties is a great sin.

There has been a lot of pressure for acceptance of remarriage adultery, and much of that is going on under falsified doctrine. Remarrying one or both already married divorcers is an even greater sin, and the downfall of a whole denomination can hinge on this one consideration.

Charles Stanley's marriage foundered, and he is no longer in a Scriptural position to continue as a teaching elder or pastor anywhere, or underwrite any religious publications. Sadly, anyone who continues as a disciple of his speaking and writing is a spiritual fool.

Reducing Paul's words to being his own personal opinion is actually something more likely to be seen in the ECM.

On the other side, basically requiring all clergy to have that gift, contrary to what is written and exampled therein, is what is seen in Rome.

Instead, context is necessary. Have to go now so i cannot go into that.
