“My suggestion is you need to learn how to understand these verses are they would have been understood by the original readers, else you end up siding with Judaizers.”

I say:

This comment thread is just unbelievable! 1 Corinthians was a letter from the Apostle Paul to the Corinthian Church!

To actually suggest that the Apostle Paul was telling the Corinthian Church, a Gentile Church to follow the Pharisee’s Oral Law is ludicrous! It is an insult to the Apostle Paul who stood against the Pharisee’s oral law!

Again all of you are reading far too much into that verse due to a desire to impose a fallen earthly equality where it has no place!

This is what the Apostle Paul says in verses 37 and 38:

If anyone thinks himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things which I write to you are the commandments of the Lord. But if anyone is ignorant, let him be ignorant.

The things he WRITES TO THEM ARE FROM THE LORD! Not from the Pharisee’s fallen and false Oral Law!

You are guilty of mishandling the Word of God!
