I think he just had a brainfart

Notice the word might. He provided a way for all to be saved, but no guarantees that all will avail themselves of it.

So if a woman decides not to have children for whatever reason, she won't be saved? Faith without works? Is that what you're implying?

I don't think it's complicated at all. IMO Paul used clumsy grammar. We all do it from time to time. For example using the word they when referring to a singular person who is either male or female - "If that person comes here then they will see what I'm talking about". In this case we have no...

Many people suffer so much they would rather have death than life. Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul; Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures; Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can...

That's meaningless. If they are obliterated then any shame or remorse is poof! Doesn't mean anything.

If that's true there's no reason to fear GOD. Do you know how many people on earth would love for that to happen - simply cease to exist?

This is a joke, right?

Me too. I love simplicity.

Jesus called it work. Believing into Christ is salvation. This is the work of God: that you believe into the one [the father] set apart. John 6:29

It probably says "the one".

Sure I can see Eve mentioned in the previous verse, but how do you resolve the problematic syntax for an association that I mentioned? And I agree with the unfortunate part. Perhaps GOD intended for the clumsy syntax to preempt the conclusion that that verse refers to either Eve or Mary.

Linking 1 Timothy 2:15 to Eve's or Mary' childbirth is untenable IMO because it says a woman will be saved (singular) through her childbearing (genitive) if they (women) continue in godly behavior. Obviously neither Eve nor Mary will be saved (in any way) through other women's godly behavior...

Have pleasure does not exactly convey the meaning of συνευδοκέω G4909 συνευδοκέω suneudokeo (soon-yoo-dok-eh'-o) v. 1. to think well of in common

What I meant was that NT verse is not in the LXX. The LXX is the OT; it doesn't have the NT in it. Whatever bible you're reading from is the LXX with an added NT.

Keep one's self unspotted from the world in thought and in deed. Amen.

From what I've seen, you've brought nothing but complaints and division since you've been here.

How about you show us where gentiles were ever under the authority of Moses

You didn't do anything wrong. The others are being abusive.

You're being very partial IMO. Look at the abuse dcon and others throw at Ralph if you are going to criticize Ralph.
