Hmm, I also don't understand whay sk8joy feels ignored but it may be more than that. Her comment about you only wanting to chat with males was a bit weird as it seems to imply something more than that you are (apparently) ignoring her as another poster. Maybe she's jealous? lol
Don't worry, sk8, I'm celibate so I won't steal Jen away from you, at least, not in a romantic way.
Interesting verses you shared about, Jen. I am most familiar with that particular set of verses because of something called the "tent making myth" where people say that, because Paul got a job making tents then it's okay to ignore what Jesus said about how we cannot work for God and money at the same time without cheating on one or the other.
My understanding is that, while visiting the Corinthians, Paul didn't want to be a financial burden to them so they could not use that as an excuse to reject what he was trying to teach them or so that they would not think of him as a sponge.
That's why he says "how did I treat you differently, except that I was not a burden to you". He says "forgive me this wrong" but I think he was being a bit sarcastic, because, although he had good intentions, he could see that his attempts to not be a burden to them only caused them to ignore his needs as their spiritual teacher.
In other words, he was teaching them to be irresponsible regarding their responsibility to help another Christian brother.
You can cross reference this story in Acts 18 where he goes to Corinth and meets up with Pricilla and Aquinas who were also tent makers. Paul started working with them as part of his strategy to take care of himself, rather than rely on (or "burden) his Christian brothers to help him with his needs.
When Silas and Timoty showed up, Paul was "pressed in the spirit" and started preaching about Jesus again, instead of using his time to make tents.
