Paula said,

“What shoe, John? The one you’ve been wearing? The one where only YOUR interpretation is right? The one where only YOU can decide which passages are open to interpretation and which are not?”

I say:

Apologies but you are making some very elementary ridiculous claims here. You are making a claim that a passage that IS very clear and needs no interpretation skills, says something that even a third grade elementary student could read and understand that Paul is giving an instruction in this passage. and I am not basing that on my personal opinion but on what is considered very basic and general grammatical composition.

It requires no linguistic skills or Biblical interpetation skills in this passage to understand who is saying what and who they are directing it to.

Only people who have an agenda wish to make the passage appear as if it requires some deep insight to reveal its meaning. And conveniently their deep interpretation fits with their agenda.

No where can you provide any support to infer that he is reading from a letter to him and then refuting it. Other than in your own personal opinion, which under any case, again violates the very clear grammatical composition of the letter.

you refuse to accept that the passage along with its surrounding context clearly shows under BASIC grammatical standards a person giving an instruction.

Now it is very obvious as I said before that you have a belief that ALL of scripture is open to personal subjecitve interpretation, even when that interpretation goes against explicit third grade logical grammatical sense within the passage and its context.

You make the same serious errors that Homosexuals make in attempting to extend passages beyond ANY logical sense to justify their agenda.

And since you cannot show using even basic grammatical standards proof for your personal view on this passage you resort to anger and personal attacks.

Hence any benefit of continuing a discussion with you is fruitless.
