Romans 7:18
I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my sinful nature.
Rev. said:Your point?
kal-el said:My point being that Paul stretches the truth a whole lot. He is a clear women-hater, but will always use women to support the church. Of course he's not the first intolerant, arrogant, bigot. The blame for introducing sin into the world was put on a women who had no knowledge of right or wrong, and who's no more at fault than Adam, but that's typical of the attitude of the OT writers. Of course Eve's punishment for putting the welcome mat out for "sin" is subjection to her husband and all women facing pain in childbirth. I think Eve should be worshipped by Christianity, not used as a scapegoat, because without Eve there would be no Christianity, as it's based on
"atonement" if you will from the fall of man. If there was no "fall", there would be no need for salvation or atonement.
Rev. said:So you tell me...what is the real truth and how exactly did Paul stretch it?
