The man then pushes the jumper off the bridge and screams, "Die Heretic!"
Historical/Cultural Context -
Paul preached the gospel in Corinth in the early 50s AD during his second missionary journey (Acts 18:1–18).
When opposition grew fierce there, the Lord Jesus spoke to him in a vision assuring him that he had ‘many people’ in the city (Acts 18:10).
With this encouragement, Paul stayed on for eighteen months, ‘teaching them the word of God’ (Acts 18:11).
God used Paul’s ministry to bring about the birth and establishment of the church in Corinth.
Biblical Text -
-[Prayer]-
Life Principle - It’s Ok To Disagree With Other Christians, So Long As It Doesn’t Compromise The Gospel, & That We Are Sensitive To Other’s Consciences.
Life Point- It’s Ok If Christians Don’t Agree On Certain Things
Exegetical -
Homiletical -
There is, in this life, certain things that the Christian must have discernment about.
The example here is about food that has been sacrificed to an idol.
It could be easily applied to other areas of the modern Christian life.
I am by no means a legalist.
Paul will say later:
What are some controversial things in times past that people railed against but now we don’t talk about too much?
Radios
Preachers used to say you shouldn’t have one, because there is nothing good on them.
TV
Just as radios started to become accepted.
Preachers used to say you shouldn’t have a TV, because there is nothing good on them.
When we look at what is on TV today, I am tempted to say the same thing.
Credit Cards
Will lead the way for the mark of the beast!
Now just everyone has a debit card.
Dress
You can’t wear Jeans to any church function.
so-called holiness preachers would take our dress to the extreme.
Yes you should be modest in your dress, no you don’t have to wear a 3 piece suit and tie.
Worship Wars!
Don’t you bring that new contemporary praise music in here now.
It aint Holy
Does it exalt Christ?
Then who cares if it has a beat?
It may not be up my ally, but it might be up someone else’s
The interesting thing that is happening today is that the next generation who has grown up on Contemporary worship are starting to hear the hymns for the first time and want to bring some of them back.
You know what we are hearing now?
Don’t bring those hymns back, we just got rid of them.
They are old and boring.
Does it uplift Christ?
Does it cause people to worship?
Then leave it alone.
King James Only Translation
You are going to ask people who can’t understand the words of Shakespeare to understand the KJV?
You know what they say?
Well thats the anointed version.
The Holy inerrant translation.
If it was good enough for Jesus it’s good enough for me.
Listen there are some errors in the translation and the manuscript it was based upon, today we have better manuscripts that are a lot older and a lot closer to the original Greek, Hebrew, & Aramaic text.
Does that mean every translation is great and free from errors?
No, thats why we study from multiple translation and when possible we go back to the original languages.
Are there some translations we should stay away from?
Sure.
I personally am not a fan of the so-called “gender neutral translations” that are circulating.
Like the NIV 2011 edition or LifeWay’s CSB (Christian Stand Bible).
I also think The Message is a bit of a dumpster fire and should be read by no one.
I personally use New King James, New Living Translation, New American Standard Bible(95 edition), Holman Christian Standard, and the Berean Study Bible.
All translations are on a spectrum.
You have the word for word translations.
Some of these are hard to read because just doing word to word in English makes it hard to read and understand and can even throw you off.
On the other end of the spectrum is the thought-for-thought translation.
The problem here is basically the problem with The Message.
You get that person or team’s of peoples personal beliefs and prejudices translated.
Then you have everything in-between
I like stay closer to word-for-word where they just fix the order and the conveyance.
Which is why I look at multiple translations when I study.
When I am just reading I like to read from the Berean Standard because that is close to word-for-word and some of the word choices I find interesting.
So are there some things that must be discerned?
Sure.
Are there some debatable things?
Sure.
Does that mean that on all of these issues that your way is the best?
No.
What is the standard in these issues?
Love
I can worship @ a kjv church with brethren I know are wrong, but if that is where the consciences are then I won’t condemn them.
Scripture says it is love that strengthens us
