Default Re: Asia Leaving Paul

But there is some error...Most people accept that whether they want to admit it or not.

I don't see this "error" as an impossible barrier to God's word, but rather it shows that God used and continues to use imperfect people for His perfect purpose...

For example, in Hebrews, the author builds a Christology on a Psalm quoting a passage in the LXX version talking about Christ's "body." In the original Hebrew, the word was "ear." It was changed to "body" in the LXX for unknown reasons...maybe because "ear" was gross?

At any rate, if we look at what David wrote originally in Psalm, it does not fit with the author of Hebrew's argument that this passage was speaking about directly about Christ's body! This is an example of an "error." It hurts me to type "error" and "bible" in the same sentence, but I can't deny the facts when I see them. It does not change the message of the Gospel or the truth found in scripture.(maybe it does change how I view that passage in Hebrews...keeping in mind the author just used the psalm as an illustration to prove his point. The point was inspired truth but the illustration was poor hermeneutics But who am I to judge God's word...merely my lowly opinion)

Sorry to get nit-picky with possibly irrelevant things. My point is that YP is right. Paul could have and most likely did make many mistakes that are even recorded in his writings...Most believe and accept this sub-consiously with passages about women being silent, ect...but they deny there could be error in anything else such as eldership or acting one way in Jerusalem and another way in Asia...something to ponder.
