RE: One, that is just the opinion of Paul, not the words of Jesus.

I’m trying to understand this — You believe that what St. Paul and St. Peter BOTH wrote in their epistle to the churches are NOT Inspired by the Holy Spirit, nd are mere human opinions?

[DesertRhino]

It’s not in Jesus words red letters. And he was probably speaking about Rome or some local governor. if Paul thinks God put Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Or Kim Jong Un in power over people and they have a duty to obey them... then Paul is flat ass wrong. And I have that on the highest possible authority.

Are you of the opinion that a slave was sinning by running away to Canada?

Well...

1 Corinthians 7:12

I (not the Lord) say to the rest of you: If a brother has a wife who is an unbeliever and she is willing to live with him, he must not abandon her.

1 Cor 7:25-27:

Now concerning virgins: I have no commandment from the Lord; yet I give judgment as one whom the Lord in His mercy has made trustworthy.

I suppose therefore that this is good because of the present distress—that it is good for a man to remain as he is:

Are you bound to a wife? Do not seek to be loosed. Are you loosed from a wife? Do not seek a wife.

Not all Scripture are words directly from the Lord. Some are opinions, as evidenced by the above passage.

Don't get me wrong--I'm not denigrating Scripture. However, Paul has inserted some of his own opinions into his teaching.
