I just would like to point out tht St. Paul distinguishes several times between "it is our Lord Jesus Christ and not me, who is telling this to you", and "I am telling this to you." Therefore we must always carefully examinate if St Paul is transmitting one of o our Lord's command or pronouncing his own command based on his own authority. The second one is less binding I guess. At least, someone in an authority position similar to that of to St. Paul should surely be able to change it. (Sorry for this tipically Catholic remark ;-) Peace, Gabor Hetyei
