Hi, all,
I said I wouldn't post anything controversial here....
Well, here goes...
I love the writings of Paul...so human, encouraging, even while bound in chains and imprisoned. Any time I feel the need to return to my spiritual roots, I read Paul...except for the Book of Timothy...
This book reads in a different "rhythm" to me, and this is the book in which Paul puts women in their place. I do not believe this book was actually written by Paul, or, if so, was edited later on with these additions about women and slaves.
Many biblical scholars have agreed on this. I just avoid Timothy.
Your thoughts appreciated.
Patty
