A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Class 150
from A Gentle Ramble Through the Bible - Evers Bible Class Hosted by Pastor Gayle Evers
1 Corinthians (Part 3) We hit 1 Corinthians 6:9 this week--one of the most famous “clobber” verses in the Bible. It’s one of those verses often used to bludgeon each other and to exclude each other from fellowship with other believers. We use our backpack tools to determine whether this is Paul’s intent and to see how his words might have landed on Roman ears. There is a strong divide within Christianity over how to interpret this passage. We try to do it carefully and respectfully, using historical context and linguistic context as well as taking a look at the witness of the prophets in the Hebrew Bible. Above all, we consider the words of Jesus and his advice to “look at the fruit.” We cover 1 Corinthians 6:1-11. A free Study Guide is available. A video version of the class is available on YouTube.
