> not even getting modern society anymore
"19 The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft; hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21 and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, forbearance, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness and self-control. Against such things there is no law. 24 Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. 25 Since we live by the Spirit, let us keep in step with the Spirit. 26 Let us not become conceited, provoking and envying each other."

yep, completely out of touch & with no understanding applicable to the modern world here.
- mantoto 7y ago"The women are to keep silent in the churches; for they are not permitted to speak" And no I'm not even sure if you mean it what you wrote.
- cat199 7y agomainly that the 'problems of humanity' (e.g. ethics, morality) dealt with in christianity are period-nonspecific and have little to nothing to do with the current level of technological innovation or form of economy/government, and therefore imply that they 'get' current society.
- mantoto 7y agoSo gender equality or homosexuality are not falling under moral and ethics?
- mantoto 7y agoReally not sure if you mean it as a joke or not. Nonetheless those quotes do not reflect on my arguments at all.
