23 days ago

Do married people have worries and troubles in this life, or should we relegate this statement of Paul's in 1 Corinthians 7 as belonging to a bygone era, to a time when the Corinthians were suffering persecution? (As if we are not suffering persecution today in hundreds of refined and, really, worse ways.

The more we look into Paul's early marriage advice in 1 Corinthians 7, the more we realize its timelessness, and the more we notice the embarrassing interpretative gymnastics employed by the Acts 28 and the "we-all-must-die" crowd, trashing Paul's earlier advice and teachings, in turn removing the snatching away from their expectation, in turn giving them an excuse to make family life their be-all/end-all, and in turn hoping for their grandchildren to deliver stirring eulogies at their flower-effused funerals.
