Episode notes
Paul's Silence Instruction Ambiguous
- Paul’s instruction for women to be silent in 1 Corinthians 14:34-35 is not clearly explained by him. - It likely addresses a specific, unknown problem in Corinth and does not prohibit all women speaking in church.
Eucharist Was Not Literal Early On
- The belief that early church universally saw Eucharist elements as literally Jesus’s body is incorrect. - John 6 shows Jesus uses figurative language to explain spiritual feeding through belief, not literal eating.
Covenant of Salt is Practical
- The "covenant of salt" referenced in Scripture mainly pertains to salt's practical use in sacrifices. - Salt signified purity by removing blood and was not the literal "glue" of covenants in the ancient Near East.
