Jato,

Yes, in some instances Paul can be difficult to understand and one of the reasons why he said to some of the Christians of that day they weren't ready for solid food.

I never said orgies didn't take place. I wrote whether they were acceptable or not.

There are a lot "options" that God has taken from those who believe. The choice is whether you want to obey or not. Don't confuse the two.

I can't speak on the whole hemophridite subject. I openly admitted that because I don't know anything about it. I don't know how one is even born like that nor what the conditions are. Until I can better understand the condition, that's the best I can speak on it.

You need to look at the kind of slavery they had at the time. It was a far cry from the kind of slavery we had in the good USofA. Not the same parallel. Also, there is no blatant omission on slavery. Think about how a Christian is suppose to treat anyone in this world and explain to me how that doesn't address the kind of slavery we use to have?

I take you last comment as a bit of sarcasm. My point to it was, why even create woman? Why not just make another man? Why the many scriptures about a husband and wife, the relationship between man and woman, becoming one flesh, how the two are to love each other, etc.? I'm sorry JaTo, you argument just doesn't hold enough water for me to swing to other side of the fence.

We are to use scriptures to intepret scriptures. It's when man tries to do his own intepration based on what he believes should be the truth that scripture becomes perverted.
