Comments? Yes - but just one. I agree. I must admit that I do take Paul
as a higher authority than modern Christian writers (even C.S. Lewis who
I adore) but I do disagree with some of his ideas, and I find that they
do contradict the words of Christ. There is, however, a lot of good and
a lot of wisdom in the epistles, and I would not ignore them just
because there are a few ideas that I don't agree with. I've had a lot of
problems with people that take the word of Paul without any further
thought. But like I said, there is a lot of good there. In fact, (I
don't have my Bible with me now) but I believe that it's I Corinthians
chapter 13 (maybe II Corinthians) that is one of my favorites. It's an
old standard, I know, but I still love it.
