Just read the book! Lazy! LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY LAZY!!!! Everyday Oyish is plagued with stupid Bible questions which people only have because they are too lazy to read the book! ENOUGH!!!!
Never trust an institution like Oxford in matters of faith. Never.
ESV is the best study bible by FAR, it has vastly more comprehensive notes than any other. Use Oxford if you only care about Christianity from an academic perspective, it doesn't talk about Christian beliefs, only the history and cultural context, it's also a little woke, like the NSRV in general.
The only bad thing about the ESV is that it is unabashedly protestant, so don't expect notes pertaining to Catholic/Orthodox beliefs. This really only shows in the epistles regarding sola fide/scriptura as well as eucharistic verses. 98% of it is relevant to all Christian beliefs.
I've read the ESV, Oxford, Didache and OSB. The ESV blows all out of the water
2So I considered the dead happier, because they were already dead, than the living, who must still live their lives; 3but happier than either of them is the one who has not yet been born, because he has not yet seen the evil things that are done under the sun.
>And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.
It's good if you can resist the temptation to fornicate; otherwise one is recommended to take a spouse of the opposite sex.
Corinthians 7:1–2
And concerning the matters of the letter which ye have sent, 'tis good for a man to not be touching a woman. But because of fornications, may each man be permitted to have his own woman, and each woman her own man.
>Now concerning virgins, although I do not have any command from the Lord, I will give you my opinion as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy. 26 In view of the present crisis, I think it is prudent for a man to stay as he is. 27 Have you become committed to a wife? Stop trying to get released from your commitment. Have you been freed from your commitment to a wife? Stop looking for one. 28 But if you do get married, you have not sinned. And if a virgin gets married, she has not sinned. However, these people will experience trouble in this life, and I want to spare you from that.
Paul thought Jesus was going to come back within his lifetime, so he said that having children doesn't matter and you should be preparing for the coming of Jesus instead. This is the mainstream academic consensus.
Also, the Bible does not speak with one voice. It is the product of multiple authors. What Paul says in the NT may contradict a verse written elsewhere.
Hijacking your stupid thread!
ESV study bible or oxford's annotated?
the NT rebels against many things, including the mandate to multiply. various cults, and church doctrines followed from that.

>be me
>huge wiener
>don't know what anti-natalist is
coincidence?
No because antinatalism is the truth and Bible is a israeli psyop to keep the slaves pacified and content.
Begone Satan
Excellent. Do not reproduce. Thank you. Farewell. To (You) and to your forefathers. Thank you, sir.
Farewell to you too, nobody "survive" in their kids, and it will all end very soon with humanity's end anyway
COPE
It is.

Seid fruchtbar und mehret euch.
Danke, ich werde dieses Gebot befolgen.

Bad translation. The following is better:
>Now concerning virgins, although I do not have any command from the Lord, I will give you my opinion as one who by the Lord’s mercy is trustworthy. 26 In view of the present crisis, I think it is prudent for a man to stay as he is. 27 Have you become committed to a wife?

I thought the bible was the infallible word of God?
