1 Corinthians Chapter 1 Discussion Page 11

This is an indication for humility, severally in the scriptures we see people whom ordinarily the world would look down on, has been major instrument for change, we see the prostitute at jericho who safed her entire family, gideon a weakling who became a mighty man of valor, so i think in our society we should teach more of NEVER underestimate people and ofcourse God who makes and rule things for his Glory.

Very true and quite a revelation. As most men with knowledge who think they are God's gift to the world. They only have worldly knowledge which CAN'T get them into Heaven no matter what conclusion they try to come to!

undeniable proof that that this scripture harmonizes with the wisdom that God created/obtained in proverbs 8:22-31. Christ is the Wisdom and Power of God, but he isn't God(Jehovah) himself. He's his Son .

GOD IS SUPREME.HIS WAYS ARE BEYOND HUMAN COMPREHENSION.HE IS GOD WHO CAN DO ANYTHING TO DEMONSTRATE HIS SUPREMACY OVER HUMAN BEINGS.

Who is Chloe according to 1 corin 11

That there should be brotherly love among christians
because if there is division the devil dwells on that to achieve his agenda.
Also,we should not glorify ourselves since it is the grace of God;"He that glorieth, let him glory in the Lord".

i have adapted a slightly different version of this Perfect chapter about our Christian attitude. As you know, modern translations use the word "love" for King James' "charity." i now use the word "empathy," for these two reasons: 1. "love" has many different meanings (altho we know in this chapter it means God's pure & perfect love); 2. unlike the word "love" however, "empathy" has the same number of syllables as "charity," and has only one meaning (the Compassion we should feel when we put ourself in another's place); this is also clearer, because the 3rd verse (And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor...) is our definition of "charity" today, so King James' language reads [though I practice charity...and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing]. But i love King James' language, so i keep the rest of the chapter exactly as it is. This is not opposed to doctrine, because we are taught that God came to mankind as Jesus, not only to save mankind, but to experience life & suffering as a man; in other words, so that God could better empathize with us. As He loves us, we are commanded to love others, every minute of every day.

"God has chosen the foolish things of this world, (the periods of time we live in) to confound the wise." The unsaved, like the saved, have a wisdom based in something. Yet, we are all limited by our human weaknesses of intellect; and remember, we as Christians are not inspired. Saved Christians do have the Holy Spirit dwelling within us which helps our understanding of scripture to rightly divide the word of truth, but the unsaved do not have that. Whether we are fundamental or liberal or anywhere in between, from one issue to another we could very well be categorized as either the "foolish" or the "wise" in this world and the time we live in. The most educated preacher or university professor can be simultaneously categorized as the "foolish" in this world by God and as the "wise" in this world. Do not flatter yourself to think that you are perfect in all reasoning. We could be right and be wrong in many areas of our understanding and/or application of scripture, yet God in His omniscience uses His Word to accomplish His work. Both preachers and professors should be more humble to admit their cognitive weaknesses, likewise should church members and students. Pray to grow in grace and seek His face, believer, as the process of sanctification in God's timing conforms us little by little into the image of Christ, and remember we won't be like Him until we see Him as He is...i.e. in eternity, not here in this world.

It think its very informative and enlightening.

According to me man will always be a liar and we should be able to forsake our thoughts and rely on the word of God.

God uses thing and people that we never expected him to use.

We should not envy others especially our brothers and sisters in CHRIST if they become successful or if they obtain good life status,perhaps we should thank GOD for blessing their lives and for using them as channels of blessings to our brethrens for the glory of our LORD JESUS CHRIST. Amen!

that verse is so true there should be no let me tell you how that I see it.
only as it is written
AMEN

BOASTING TAKES DIFFERENT ANGLES. IT CAN BE ONES WAY OF LOOKING INTO WORLDLY MATERIAL, TWO. A WAY ONE PUT UP HIS UNDERSTANDIMG OF THE KINGDOM OF GOD, ANDMANY OTHER

THERE WAS A PREACHER WHO WAS UNABLE TO READ OR WRITE
AND GOD USED HIM IN A PROFOUND WAY.SOMEONE HAD TO READ THE SCRIPTURES FOR HIM.

Any organization of men will never overthrown Almighty God's "Reign" in Christ Jesus through God's Holy Spirit....1

i like that verse, however it is telling me that we people of God, shall know that the Lord does not tell me the meaning of a scripture. and then tell someone else a different meaning. if it is that way, we cannot all say one thing or think one way. every one knows that Jesus was born of a virgin. and it is what everyone that i know believes and says and thinks.

Grace and Peace from God are indispensable characteristics a true christain must possess.These two can only come from our father and our Lord Jesus Christ.

It is good 2 giv yr lyf 2 christ and be a fellower of christ jesus

it is the mercy and love that brought us to christ. so we are saved by grace

We are saved by the Cross of Jesus Christ. It is true that we are saved past tense, being saved present tense, and will be saved future tense. The Cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but is the power of God to those who are being saved. We will be entirely sanctified at glorification when we see Jesus. We were justified at salvation when we placed our faith in the Lord Jesus Christ at the Cross. We are being sanctified by the power of the Holy Spirit presently. We preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block, and the Greeks foolishness. Yet to us, it is the power of God, unto salvation. So thank God for the Cross of Jesus Christ, and let our boast forever be in the Cross of Jesus Christ.

Because of Satan's pride. He blinds the mind to be strong, successful, and independent. But if found to be weak, then also a failure, condemnable, and worthless. But God's wisdom is to choose the weak and rejected to display his power. Showing that only God can, and that his divine nature is greater. His glory then can reach those blinded by pride.

Foolishness - Folly. That is, it appears to them to be contemptible and foolish, or unworthy of belief. To the great mass of the Jews, and to the pagan philosophers, and indeed, to the majority of the people of this world, it has ever appeared foolishness. I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Paul is telling us God is about Love, and that also what is asked of us, to show Jesus at the cross was not in vain.

The battle against the flesh cannot be won in flesh, but by abiding in his presence with his spirit. Let no flesh glory in the presence of God.

The wisdom of man can never ever save them, let alone, the world. Human nature is to attempt to save himself, and maybe his family. This can never work. God has always demonstrated this by "getting the job done" without man contributing with "any of his own wisdom". It would appear that God does it, and compares His way and plan to be His weakest, as compared to man's greatest strength. The highest end of man's power does not come close to the beginning of God's wisdom and power. Once a person understands this, it would appear that only absolute "rebellion" would cause one to "reject God and His son Jesus, The Christ.

I love God.

I very much love Jesus.

Verse 10 teaches us believers to be one mind let us not criticize each other, let love dominate.

This chapter is a blessing to me.
