3)—you will judge God’s highest order of creation—you should be able to handle your problems
• You are appointing inferior judges in church matters—COME ON GUYS!!
The Corinthians lawsuits portrayed immaturity, vv.
5-6
• You just need one wise man
• The idea of wisdom in the Bible is skill relating truth to life
• They had knowledge (“don’t you know”)--they lacked wisdom to apply it
