Re: Permanency of Marriage
Again:
μὴ ἐπὶ πορνείᾳ = "except porneia" and the same as: εἰ μὴ ἐπὶ πορνείᾳ
"even for porneia" would be: ἐάν τε ἕνεκα πορνείας

Re: Permanency of Marriage
“Not for” (μὴ ἐπὶ) and “if not for” (εἰ μὴ ἐπὶ) make no difference in meaning. And both want to say: "except for". New Testament exegesis is no longer based on Erasmus anyway. And the biblical...

Re: Marriage advice
There are certainly many good points about Ignatius! But read him carefully in the spirit of Paul. He dislikes created things, is legalistic, sacramentalist, says we can do nothing without the...

Re: Marriage advice
Apparently, you mean by early church the time of the "Apostolic Fathers". So, not Irenaeus and Tertullian anymore?
I used to want to view the second generation so positively, too. And I thought:...

Re: Marriage advice
You probably know that there was already a lot of leaven in the early Church. We even have early Catholic tendencies in Clement and Ignatius. It seems that Paul's warning in Acts 20:29 already...

Re: Permanency of Marriage
If the Logos is the eternal Christ, he is more and greater than the written word. In the Bible, God speaks to us, explains his plan and instructs us on what we should do. Therefore, the Bible is...
