bill - I thought I was making comments that followed from previous posts, but I guess we can agree to differ on that. joe, maybe we are not understanding each other. I was thinking that you meant that the text merely followed the prevailing norms, whereas I believe God calls his people to a higher standard. of course, that might not make sense to those of the prevailing culture....."the foolishness [as supposed] of God is wiser than the wisdom of men...." ed,- re your comment to me - positions clarified, thankyou.
