    By stark contrast it is written:

    "But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."

    Mark,

    Again, I deny the universal applicability of this passage. We have very different views concerning the voice of scripture in formulating practice, and any debate on that issue is fundamentally outside the realm of this thread. We can take it up in the theology forum if you would like, however.

    My earlier post was to point out not about application of the 1 Cor. 11 passage, but about a misunderstanding of the passage's meaning--a question not about what it means, but what it meant.

    Grace and Peace, Danny [​IMG]

    Daniel,

    Yes, I have noticed that modernists deny the "universal applicability" of about any Scripture that doesn't suit them.

    And I have noticed that "medievalists" are quite blind to their inability to apply every passage in the varied voice of the Bible. Give me a break! :rolleyes:
