Today in class the question was raised if angel worship was really happening in Colosse and Dr. Foster made the comment that you do not create rules for things that are not being done. this made me think of Paul's writings in a different way in that many things that I saw as Paul just giving helpful advice or suggestions in his letters were probably written for a specific purpose. Looking at his writting from this standpoint makes much of Paul's writting more understandable and brings a greater impact because of specific purposes for everything written. This makes comprehension even more important as we study the texts because many if not all of the situations that Paul addresses can and will impact us in our present culture.
Peace, Ira
