@SuperSnekFriend @whiteman_ @JeffGrimesArt I don't want to take too creative of an interpretation on this, but is it possible the message to Timothy was a correction because people heard the past one and went too ham on celibacy to absurdity? Marriage is a gift from God. Paul does state that better to remain single then gives like four paragraphs of explanation and nuance on that point. Even today (especially today) people become retarded when nuance is involved in anything.
