Unnecessary scriptures
I don't want to waste my time reading the bible on things that have no affect about God or me so lets make a list of things that are not for us in any way in the bible... I will start it off.
1cor. 11 1-16 
Next?....

Re: Unnecessary scriptures
In proper context I Cor 11:1-16 is necessary.
People take these scriptures out of the spiritual context in which Paul teaches it and make it a physical thing.

John 7:24 Judge not according to the appearance, but judge righteous judgment.

Re: Unnecessary scriptures
Rom 16:16 Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the churches of Christ greet you.

There is no scripture I know of that is not important. We may not fully understand it now but when God chooses I'm sure He will enlighten us.

No, I do not think so! I think God intended for every word spoken, written and printed in HIS word was for us in SOME kind of way~
