Meat Mystery behind 1 Corinthians 7:36-37 (virgin, daughter, betrothed or what?)

[Kojent]

So he sinned? He kind of judaízed? He’s a hypocrite? He did that which was righteous? You do realize that prophecies of the coming kingdom include…temple sacrifice.

Likely not just Jewish converts but at least you concede that point.


All days are holy. Agreed. God made all days. How many other of the 10 are now optional?


Nor negative. As you say, it’s mostly silent.

So that means you were indoctrinated into your denomination’s belief system?


What was the goal of a judaizer? I believe Peter and Paul adopted Jesus’ view of the matter. It’s what’s inside, not outside that accounts for righteousness. Abraham and Moses had to believe God first. The judaizares put the cart before the horse. They were expecting full obedience without necessarily inspecting for inward conversion.

True. Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.


Brother, I am not a judaizer. I’m not even what one would consider a “Torah” guy. I’ve just become more pronomian over the years because it takes the guessing out of the faith. The mere fact that you have to question in another post about whether polygyny “could” be fornication means that you are putting yourself in much too high of a spiritual position. You wrestle with things that need not be so difficult. Gods law provides the template for accepted sexual practices. Anywhere inside that is permissible. Don’t strain at gnats.

1. He tried to become all things to all men that he might save some. Same reason he said circumcision is nothing and then circumcised Timothy.

2. Christ restated the other nine. Whatcha think? Let’s talk about the newness of the New Covenant. Let’s speak plainly about Melchizedek. Let’s study the books specifically written to the Jewish folks such as the Book of Hebrews and James.

3. ‘Tis mostly silent with respect to the lawfulness of polygyny, yes. ‘Tis not at all silent with regard to it being inexpedient, suboptimal, not ideal, a deviation from the Edenic blueprint, etc. Again, I’m going to keep hammering this, the fact that you all see the day approaching and point to all these prophecies and yet can’t bring yourself to find or start a church is bizarre. It’s without any biblical basis or warrant. It looks nothing like the early church.

4. There were always interpretive camps. But no, I was not indoctrinated into any particular system. You don’t know me, although you’re welcome to get to know me. So let’s be men here and stop pretending you do.

5. I don’t believe I’m straining at gnats at all. You’ve got folks here building harems in their homestead, promoting bisexuality in defiled marital beds and calling it kosher. It’s not and it’s never going to be.

As surely as a man can get drunk off of his own grapes or be a glutton with his own food, a man can be sexually immoral with his wife in his own home.

We’re called to serve the Living God, not the god of our bellies. We’re called to present our bodies as living sacrifces.

We simply don’t see polygynous Gentiles in the New Testament church and that needs to be said again and again.

Loudly.

Was it sinful? Forbidden? Permissible?

2. Christ restated the other nine. Whatcha think?

He didn’t restate bestiality. Must something be restated to be followed?

Let’s talk about the newness of the New Covenant.

Let’s. What is it?

Let’s speak plainly about Melchizedek.

He’s nothing new. Why do you revert to that Old Testament figure for your faith? Jesus didnt restate him.

Let’s study the books specifically written to the Jewish folks such as the Book of Hebrews and James.

So they don’t apply to you? Are you like Luther? Do you advocate their removal?

3. ‘Tis mostly silent with respect to the lawfulness of polygyny, yes. ‘

It’s silent on bestiality and incest. How do we know they’re unlawful??????

Tis not at all silent with regard to it being inexpedient, suboptimal, not ideal, a deviation from the Edenic blueprint, etc.

Go nudist and vegan. Follow the entire ideal, not just partial.

Again, I’m going to keep hammering this, the fact that you all see the day approaching and point to all these prophecies and yet can’t bring yourself to find or start a church is bizarre. It’s without any biblical basis or warrant. It looks nothing like the early church.

And not much of what exists today looks like the early church either.

4. There were always interpretive camps. But no, I was not indoctrinated into any particular system.

If you graduated a seminary, you had to follow their prescribed class lists. You were indoctrinated. I’m not saying it as a pejorative. It’s just fact.

We’re called to serve the Living God, not the god of our bellies. We’re called to present our bodies as living sacrifces.

We simply don’t see polygynous Gentiles in the New Testament church and that needs to be said again and again.

Loudly.

Saying it louder in no way makes it any more relevant. When you have the law on your side, pound the law, when you don’t have the law on your side, pound the table…loudly.

If the facts are on your side, pound the facts into the table. If the law is on your side, pound the law into the table. If neither the facts nor the law are on your side, pound the table…loudly, or this case…laugh.

*note that law is lowercase. It’s in reference to civil, not divine law. Famous quote from law schools.
