Cheryl,

Thanks for the post. I’d be interested to know your take on 1 Cor 7:10ff where Paul correlates between the Lords command and his own to the Corinthians. I know it has nothing to do with 1 Tim 2 but it is somewhat similar as a ‘man of God command’ type scenario.

Kay,

I find your comments striking. You seem to imply that comps ignore the teachings of Jesus who teaches servant leadership, but yet agree with Cheryl that Paul is using his apostolic ‘authority’. Is Paul being unfaithful to the teachings of Jesus by exerting his ‘authority’. Interested to know your line of thought!
