Frank,
It is a good observation that Paul’s comments need to be examined and integrated as a progressive whole. Perhaps we all need to be reminded that Peter admits that some of Paul’s writings are hard to explain. It isn’t that Paul’s writings are not scripture. They are God-breathed scripture. However as the “hard” scriptures, some of these passages need more work and viewing the “big picture” and what has gone on before is certainly part of the work that it takes to understand Paul.

Thank you for your prayers, Frank! They are very much appreciated.
