1 Corinthians 13

After reading First Corinthians 13 and several interpretations, it appears that the love written about in Corinthians is actions rather than feelings; and is ultimately the behavior we should all attempt to attain and demonstrate (Guzik, 2001; Harris, 2014; Krell, 2010). Furthermore, love is given and demonstrated without any expectation of reciprocity - Agape. I chose Hinduism as my comparison religion and compared to other religions; there are similarities and differences (to be expected). To…

improperly (see e.g. Ignatius of Antioch, Gregory of Nyssa, and Irenaeus of Lyons), and some modern interpreters follow their suggestion.1 However, exactly this type of quasi-magical views about food is refuted by Paul in 1 Corinthians 10.23–33 concerning food sacrificed to idols.2 Paul considers food sacrificed to idols to be nothing extraordinary in itself (8:1–13; 10.19). In his view, the meaning that is attributed to the meal is the problematic part. It is therefore unlikely that Paul held…

adultery, rape and other sexual immorality are examples of moral evils. (Exodus 20:12-17, Deuteronomy 16:19, 1 Chronicles 22:8, Isaiah 2:4, Mark 7:21-22, Romans 12:17-19). Moral evil is caused by our sinfulness and rebellion against God. It is the result of ignoring the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-17) and Jesus’ command to “love your neighbor as yourself” (Matthew 22:35-40. Romans 13:9, James…

God has given us all the tools necessary for life and godliness as found in 2 Peter 1:3, “…as His divine power has given to us all things that pertain to life and godliness, through the knowledge of Him who called us by glory and virtue.” Part of these “all things” is found in Ephesians chapter 6. The Roman armor was legendary during the height of the Roman conquest. Paul applies the use of this armor as a basis for the armor of God. After reading, a person would naturally assume he was talking…

Erica, you have a violate point, forming a contract with an unbeliever may protect a Christian from liability. Operating a Christian based business can have a good influence on a non-believer. In 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, Paul states, that “believers should not bind relationships with unbelievers because this weakens their commitment, integrity, and standards” (Tyndale, 2005, p. 1948). Christians in the business world tend to compromise their beliefs and values for the sake of the business.…

neither man nor woman is independent of each other (1 Corinthians 11:3, 8-12). From the side of man, woman was made, and from the woman man is born. Both man and woman are of God, and vital to…

“Otherwise, what will those who are baptised for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, then why are they baptized for them?” 1 Corinthians 15:29. There have been several interpretations of this verse throughout the years, these have ranged from illogical to the refined, even now the Church of latter-day Saints (Mormons) in their religious doctrine still continue this practice of baptising for the Dead today. I contend that Paul possibly was not referring to the Church practicing this…

means by which they had been prohibited from reaching their full, human potential; the Bible was understood to be a literary collection that merely taught us why we had become so but not how to change the situation”. In 1 Timothy 2:13 is assumed based on the creation accounts (Genesis 1 and 2), that the submission of women emerge from the scripture, “Adam was formed first, then Eve.” Additionally, In Genesis 2:22-23 is mentioned how God created the women of the man’s ribs and then the man…
