June 15, 20161 Corinthians, Part 4

June 12, 2016The Problem of Human Suffering
Suffering is the lot of mankind
God created man and woman in the Garden of Eden and gave them everything they needed.
Why is this?
Satan is the initial case of suffering – he told Even the lie and she sinned, and then Adam sinned as well. Thus they were separated from God.
Suffering is not God’s fault. God made it so suffering and death did not have to happen.
What is the remedy?
Spiritually?
Romans 5:12
Romans 1:4
Acts 2:9-11
Hebrews 7:25
Acts 2:36
Matthew 11:28
God has adequately reversed the reality of spiritual death. He has not reversed the reality of physical death.
Bodily?
I Corinthians 6:19-20
Romans 6:12
Mentally?
Keep your mind active in the things of Christ.
Philippians 4:8
Hebrews 5:12

Emotionally?

June 08, 2016I Corinthians, Part 3
I Corinthians 1:25-2:7
I Corinthians 1:28 – See the story of Naaman (II Kings 5). There was nothing special in the water except that God commanded Naaman to be washed in it. Other examples:
Numbers 21 – Looking upon a bronze serpent to be saved.
In the New Testament – baptism in water
I Corinthians 1:30 – Calvinists sometimes try to use this passage to teach that Christ’s righteousness is imported to us. This is false. This verse is simply explaining what Christ has done for us. He brought us wisdom, sanctification, righteousness, and redemption. If you read this to mean His righteousness is imputed to us, His wisdom, sanctification, and redemption would also have to be imputed to us, which is nonsense.
I Corinthians 2:4 – See II Corinthians 2:12. Paul was able to work miracles to confirm the words that he spoke. See also Galatians 1:8, 12.

June 05, 2016“What is a non-denominational church and are we one?”
The Bible teaches about one church/body.
Ephesians 4:1-6; 1:22-23; 5:23-27 – There is only one Savior: There is therefore, only one church that He has saved.
I Corinthians 1:10-13; 12:12-19, 27-30 – Members of the one body are individual Christians – not denominations.
John 15:5 (John 13:1, 5-6, 23, 26; 14:8, 22; 15:16; 17:12; 18:1)
Jesus is talking to His apostles. They are the branches. The branches are not denominations.
Romans 12:5
“But denominationalism is Scriptural because Christ is the head of each division of His church.”
There are no divisions of Christ’s church in the denominational sense.
I Corinthians 4:17; Matthew 7:21-23; John 17:17-23; Ephesians 4:5, 11-15; Mark 16:15-16; Galatians 3:27; II Corinthians 13:5
Practical points:
Be a member of Christ’s one church. Matthew 16:18; Acts 20:28
Study and learn Christ’s one truth. Ephesians 4:5
It’s not enough for a local church to be non-denominational. We must learn and practice the truth. John 12:48.
