He is very dear to me but even dearer to you, both as a man and as a brother in the Lord.<br /><br /> 17So if you consider me a partner, <b>welcome him as you would welcome me</b>. <br /><br />and <br /><br />1 Cor 7:21<br />Were you a slave when you were called? Don't let it trouble you—although <b>if you can gain your freedom, do so</b>.<br /><br />and, despite all the handwringing one hears in some quarters of Christendom about "the evils of feminism", I see progress in the world since the days when Peter wrote that. Slavery is not as popular, and women have rights and freedom under the law (in western countries anyway).<br /><br />1 Peter 2:13-14 clearly teaches submission to the ordinances of man, and the ordinances these days in the US and Canada make it a CRIME to abuse, therefore <b>for any citizen of these countries to tolerate or condone abuse is clear disobedience to the teaching of 1 Peter 2:13-14</b>. Abuse should be reported immediately to authorities who are responsible for enforcing the laws of the land. <br /><br />1 Peter 2:13-14 13Submit yourselves to <b>every ordinance of man</b> for the Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;<br /><br /> 14Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.Gemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02778796852665760660noreply@blogger.com
