The Apostle Paul Part VI: Hard Questions

I am not a biblical scholar.

I am a woman who loves the Lord and enjoys studying and learning.

I struggled with Paul's directives regarding women and the modern church's policies currently in place and attributed to Paul.

I wanted to develop my own, personal opinion regarding Paul, the Bible, and my God-given role.

It is not my intention to offend, incite, or influence anyone.
I'm a writer. It's a gift God's given me. It only makes sense that I write down what I've discovered ... and what I've decided to personally believe.

PAUL:

• Do you agree or disagree with Paul's directives in the Bible?

• What was Paul's ultimate mission?

YOU:

• Can you support your opinions logically? Factually?

• Do you only embrace those things that support your personal thoughts and opinions?

• Do you have specific criteria in which you base your beliefs on?

• What determines who you trust?

• How do you decide what you will believe in and what you will reject?

• What are your standards for validity and truth?

• What is your ultimate goal in this life?

• What is your ultimate purpose in this life?

The Bible:

• Do you read the Bible?

• Do you study the Bible?

• Do you pursue questions that you have regarding the Bible?

• Do you believe the Bible is inspired by God?

• How is your personal, spiritual foundation influenced based on your perception of the Bible?
