I can't help it if you disagree with St. Paul.

We disagree with your reading of St. Paul. Paul was not writing systematic theology. You take writings full of enthusiasm and spiritual insight, groping to express ineffable realities, and treat each verse (well, at least favored ones) as if it has no more depth and richness than "Remove plastic covering. Heat on HIGH for 3-4 minutes."

JA to HD: You take writings full of enthusiasm and spiritual insight, groping to express ineffable realities, and treat each verse (well, at least favored ones) as if it has no more depth and richness than "Remove plastic covering. Heat on HIGH for 3-4 minutes."

"At least the favored ones" sums it all up!
