Okay Chaps, I’ll take ya up on it

…..your offer to play “Stump the Chaps”, I mean:

“All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient” ( 1 Corinthians 6:12)

Whut mean? I get the “not expedient” part, but: does St Paul mean that he could do anything: fornicate, murder, eat pork—and it would be “lawful” for him cuz he’s already a saint, predestined for salvation?
Or did he mean he could do anything he might possibly be tempted to do, but , he wouldn’t even be tempted to commit more than minor infractions, cuz: Saint?

Along those same lines:”Better to marry than to burn.” Does he mean than to burn with lust? Or burn in Hell?

In my (Good) Book, Paul is the patron saint of gnomic utterances, a divine of the double entendre!
So, y’know, when you’ve put Peter away, maybe you’ll enjoy takin’ on Paul….?

Love,

Hypatia (late of Alexandria, flayed to death by a Christian mob) 😫😇)

  1. Chaps, after taking on St. Paul how about a starting a discussion about whether or not ‘once saved, always saved?’ After an apparently less than sanctified 2019, that would be an interesting topic for backslidden sexapts.

    P.S. Asking for a friend.

      1. It is a thing not a typo. Really though where I live, Chiang Rai, is too provincial for most self-respecting sexpats. Those of us who live here, hope it stay this way.

      2. No, we know you’re a sexPAT. What I was remarking on was “sexAPT”…oh never mind 🙄

        I see now what you did. I thought your SexApt was the typo. That is what happens when I try to type and have sex (with an LBFM in case you were wondering) at the same time.
