Paul probably didn't write that paragraph of verses. It was most likely added by someone else along the way.
To your point of people wanting to take only portions of the Bible literally and ignore others, there are TONS of things that the old testament says to do that we don't do every day.
Christians on old testament laws:
prohibition on eating pork: god actually didn't mean we should stop eating pork. It was an accident bro.
prohibition on vaguely sexual acts without clear translation: this is the word of god, how dare these people exist
I'm not defending Christianity, but the actual defense of pork is that Jesus had made pork clean, in a vision to Peter where the analogy was that Jesus also made non Jewish people clean, since mixing with them was also forbidden. So less accident, more amendment.
They would also claim (from my experience in a cult anyway) that the old laws were necessary at the time they were given, but by the time Jesus came he could revise them as they were more ready.
If we look at it from a secular viewpoint, badly cooked pork probably caused a bunch of illness to was banned, and by the time Jesus supposedly existed people had learned to cook it more safely.
If only they took jesus' thousands of negative views on the wealthy as seriously as they take his one revision to pork law.
A whole lot of the bible wasn't written by Paul. Doesn't mean its not part of the bible.
That sounds like a very feminine opinion
Nah, I can see Paul saying that, I just cannot see Jesus (who was openly kissing women like men kissed men and basically publicly recognising them as equals! The horror, lol) saying that. 🤷
Would you mind telling me which verse tells us jesus kissed women in greeting?
Nowhere, actually, I must have hallucinated it (?!). Perhaps in some apocryphal gospel? Religious fiction? Sorry for spreading misinformation, I really thought I read it.
I'd have to go look but I think that was in the gospel of Philip. Apocryphal, but interesting.
Awesome, thanks for checking. It didn't sound familiar.
