What? Me? I resemble that remark.
Ya know Trapped, Ohio, and others, Serenity makes a valid point. In short, we weren't back there. And we don't have a clue of what it was like. It was a whole other world back then. They were flat earthers. They couldn't help it.
Our modern scientific age is a universe apart with how they lived and thought back then. Their mindset was beyond our ability to even imagine. For one, superstition was prevalent virtually everywhere back then. It was the common way to think. It couldn't be helped. Yet they were smart, as proven by their writings, many that are full of out of this world fantastical stories.
I point that out because they back then had minds far and away from ours today.
So we shouldn't be so certain about what Paul says, to the point of clobbering anyone with his verses. I think if we're gonna stick to Paul, we should read 1 Corinthians 13 over and over again. Otherwise we risk just being a clanging cymbal ... and be stuck thinking like a child.
