When Paul says that "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God," he does not deny the existence of a physical body in God’s kingdom. Instead, he is pointing out the limitations of our current mortal state. The phrase “flesh and blood” is a metaphor for our earthly, perishable nature—bodies that are weak and corruptible, and flesh and blood count inherit the kingdom of God. When Paul says that flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, he does not deny the existence of a physical

2024/11/27

In this passage, Paul continues explaining the resurrection, tackling two big questions: How are the dead raised? And What kind of body will they have? Let’s start with the first question.Paul writes:"Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain. But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body." (1 Corinthians 15:36-38) Paul compares our bodies to seeds,

Regarding Christian hope, 1 Corinthians 15 is one of the most profound and foundational texts. It’s not just a theological discussion; it’s a call to live with purpose, perseverance, and hope. Paul explains that the resurrection of the body is essential to the Christian faith. Without it, everything else falls apart. Here’s a deep dive into why this passage is important and how it differs from modern evangelical thought.

2024/10/10

Throughout these writings, the theme that “He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet” is central to how the New Testament talks about Jesus’s authority. It starts in Psalm 110:1 and is echoed by Paul, Peter, and John. This theme shows that Jesus is currently ruling as King at God’s right hand, and He will continue to reign until every enemy is defeated. It assures believers that in the end, Jesus will overcome all opposition, fulfilling God’s plan for the world.

2024/10/09

Some people think that a "spiritual body" means a non-physical or immaterial body. However, Paul’s teaching in 1 Corinthians 15 and the broader biblical story suggest something different. The Bible focuses on God’s desire to redeem and renew the physical world, beginning with His creation of the heavens and the earth in Genesis. God intended for humanity to live with Him in a perfect creation. Even after sin entered the world through the fall, God’s plan remained focused on restoration, not

This chapter isn’t just important for understanding our faith; it’s foundational to the very essence of what it means to be a follower of Christ. And we’re not alone in this belief. Many theologians and scholars throughout history have recognized the significance of this passage. For instance, renowned theologian N.T. Wright has described 1 Corinthians 15 as a "central and climactic moment" in Paul's writings, emphasizing its role in explaining the resurrection and its implications for Christian

Welcome to The Berean Post. I want to start by saying that I’m not here to change your mind or to try and be your teacher. What I’m doing is simply going through the text for myself, trying to understand it in its historical context, and exploring how the first readers might have understood what they were reading. I’m not coming from any denominational perspective—this is my personal journey through the Scriptures. I’m inviting you to grab a coffee, relax, and enjoy the trip with me. You might not

2024/09/20

Instructions on Tongues In modern Christianity, speaking in tongues is a topic that sparks much debate. Pentecostal and Charismatic churches view it as a powerful expression of the Holy Spirit. Studies show that about one-third of American Pentecostals speak in tongues regularly, and nearly half of their services include this practice (Pew Research Center, Barna Group). In Canada, the largest Pentecostal denomination, the PAOC, continues to practice speaking in tongues. However, some leaders are

Tongues have been, and still are in some places, a debated topic. Some churches strongly believe that speaking in tongues is a sign of the Holy Spirit's presence and an important part of a believer's spiritual life. They often include it in their worship services. On the other hand, some denominations are more skeptical. They question whether tongues are still relevant today or even if they are biblically supported, especially when they don’t make sense or aren’t explained. This debate reflects

Before we start, I want to remind everyone that I’m not here to change anyone’s mind. I encourage you to listen to your spiritual leaders and stay grounded in your faith community.

In today's devotional, we'll examine a passage from 1 Corinthians that deals with the gifts of the Spirit, like speaking in tongues and prophecy. We'll look at the text, determine its meaning, and consider its application for today.Now, when we look at today's text, we see two major views in Christian theology. One group believes these gifts ceased in the first century, while the other believes that the gifts continue today and are active in the lives of believers.

Our first experience in a setting where people were speaking in tongues was probably between the ages of 15 and 16. This was also our initial encounter with the idea of the baptism of the Holy Spirit and the manifestation of these gifts. The movement we were part of taught about the baptism of the Holy Spirit, which originally referred to sanctification in the old holiness tradition but evolved in the early 1900s to include the manifestations of the gifts of the Spirit. Although the group we were

As we journey through the epistle of First Corinthians, we will encounter more about how these gifts function and their purpose, according to Paul, especially in chapter 14, where Paul talks about the gifts of prophecy and tongues.I want to address today the question of

In 1 Corinthians 12, Paul discusses both the manifestations and gifts of the Spirit. While they are closely related, there is a nuanced difference between them. The questions I would like to consider today are as follows: What is the primary difference between the gifts of the Spirit and the manifestations of the Spirit, as discussed in this passage? How does Paul describe the purpose of the gifts of the Spirit about the Church community, and how does this differ from the purpose of the

As you begin reading this text, verses 12 to 19 make it clear that Paul has one thing on his mind, which has resonated throughout his letter. Paul knows the strife and divisions among the Corinthian brethren from the start. By highlighting the diversities of the Spirit’s manifestations, he establishes a simple point: there is one body, the body of Christ, and one Spirit.While I'm eager to discuss the gifts of the Spirit mentioned in this text, it is important first to discuss the body of Christ and

When Paul says, "For I received from the Lord," he implies that what he's about to convey is not merely his opinion but a revelation he received directly from Jesus Christ. However, the New Testament doesn't specify when or how Paul received this instruction.Though the Bible recounts Paul's encounter with Jesus on the road to Damascus, it doesn't explicitly mention Jesus instructing Paul regarding the Lord's Supper.

In our previous episode, Paul shifted focus from personal freedoms and moral matters to address practices within the Corinthian assembly, particularly concerning women and head coverings during church gatherings, especially while praying or prophesying. He then criticizes the Corinthians' conduct during the Lord's Supper and stresses his dissatisfaction. He viewed the church as a gathering of believers and always emphasized the importance of unity.
