I recall being shocked one time at church when someone said something like “Oh, Paul. I don’t believe any of his books.” I thought they were joking and quipped something about Luke I think. “Oh - Luke is okay - just Paul and all of that stuff about women being silent, wearing hats, etc.”
We had a prominent FReeper come out and say the same thing, right here in the Religion Forum, several years ago.
RE: Oh - Luke is okay - just Paul and all of that stuff about women being silent, wearing hats, etc
But Luke wrote the book of Acts, which details Jesus’ commissioning of Saul, who changed his name to Paul, who then brought the gospel to the gentiles.
If “Luke is Okay” in the book of Acts, then Jesus’ commissioning of Paul should be Okay too, and by extension, Paul’s teaching should be Jesus’ teachings.
