The Corinthian church inner struggles worsen, so Paul wrote another letter to them. The second epistle of Corinthians.
1:5, "For just as the suffering of Christ flow over into your lives, so also through Christ our comfort overflows.
1:8, ...Paul nearly killed in Asia.
1:18, ...God is faithful, and Paul's message to the Corinthians is not "yes" and "no." Let see what Paul's theology and doctrines.
An appeal to the theologians to justified by faith, not by work, and to see the truth from 2 Corinthians, stand in Paul's shoe.
1:12, not to depend merely on the wisdom of man.
1:22, Paul mentioned the Holy Spirit in his heart.
2:4, He said he loved the Corinthians.
2:7, He wanted them to forgive.
2:11, beware of the devil.
2:17, there were people who made use of the truth, making the truth void.
3:1, Paul said that the Gospel is based on the Holy Spirit, not just obeying the OT law, The Holy Spirit gave life to the death. Legalistic ?
3:15, Paul said the Israelites cannot see that the Moses' Law was temporary. When they read the Old testament, the hebrew Bible, the mesoratic, or the Septuagints, they cannot know who is Jesus Christ.
4:2, Paul, again said there were false teachers, taught worngly.
4:5, Christ Jesus is the main point of the message. Not like those messages created by some, their main point is V....P....P, VPP, VPP.
4:7, To Paul the precious message is the Gospel, the Gospel, again, is the Gospel.
4:10, because Paul was living for the Gospel, he was willing dying also for the Gospel.
4:18, those things which Paul seen, he said those things were only temporary.
5:5, The Holy Spirit was working in the believers, so the Gospel was changing them, the power of resurrection is renewing them, so they were growing everyday.
5:10, the believer must be held reponsible for the life they lived on earth. Watch out.
5:13, Some one said Paul was out of his mind ?
5:19, Paul said he was working as a agent of reconcialiation.
6:4, proven him as a servant of God.
6:7, in truthful speech.
6:11, so he can said his heart is opened wide.
7:5, Paul mentioned in Mecedonia, he had no rest, conflict outside, and fears within.
7:8, there was a letter (Epistle?) written by Paul, it was lost. Not preserved anyhow ? Not to jot and title ? No, one know the that letter?
7:12, HERE HE MENTIONED THAT LETTER AGAIN, EVEN THOUGH IT WAS LOST, BUT PAUL MENTIONED THE MESSAGE IN THAT LETTER. THE PURPOSE OF THE LETTER. DID YOU SEE THAT LETTER, ANY WHERE? WHY GOD DID NOT PRESERVED THAT LETTER, IS IT NOT INSPIRED? LET THE THEOLOGIAN GO AND DO THE DIGGING.
8:2, Paul then turn his focus here to the offering, what you offered, you offered to God, and also for the growth of the fellowship in Christ. The Church in Mecedonia, was mentioned here because of their kindness toward other churhes in Christ, were they attacking other churches?
8:9, Here again, Paul mentioned the sacrifice of our Lord.
8:15, here Paul qouted the OT, Exodus 16:18, see how he qouted the passage, the meaning is there. Was he qouted word by word here?
9:11, Paul said that they were made rich in every way, so that they can be generous on every occasion. Why the theologian go and sue his brothers because of money and property. Is this the way they practiced Christianity in Mecedonia and Corinth?
9:15, Thanking God for His indescribable gift!
10:3, Paul here mentioned the weapon he used.
10;5, war against the false teachers and their false messages. not much about jot and title.
10:14, Paul mentioned the truth as far as the Gospel !
11:3, the snake was mentioned, it was not good, why the theologians and his doctors play with the snakes, and put the picture of the snakes in their website, why not put a cross ? Are they the Indian snake chamer ?
11:4, Paul mentioned, Christ, Spirit, Gospel. These are important doctrines. how dare you twisted these truth and attack those who up hold these doctrines. Are you at the Lord's side of the other side ?
11:13, beware of those who had taugth wrongly about these doctrines, they are the false apostles, masquerading.
11:14, do not become like an angel of light.
11:22, Paul here mentioned he is a Jew.
11:25, but here he also mentioned that he met some of the false brothers.
11:31, Paul was not lying.
11:33, he was escaping from the enemies through a opened wide window.
12:4, later Paul mentioned he heard the inexpressible things, not permitted to tell? Why he kept that inexpressible things away that from us. Why they were not permitted to tell? Why not preserved in the Bible for us until now, but Paul said it was better not to tell us.
12:13, lastly, He beg for their pardon?
12:19, everything Paul done is for their strenthening.
12:20, Paul wanted them not to quarrel, to become jeolousy, outburst of anger, faction (division), slander, gossip, arrogance and disorder...and to be repented of the impurity, sexual sin and debauchery.
13:8, can not do anything against the truth.
13;11, listen to Paul's appeal, be of one mind, live in peace.
Questions:
One of Paul's letter was not preserved and lost?
What is the main point of the Gospel?
Christ is mentioned with Spirit and Gospel, why Paul put them together in 11;4, how important are they in Christianity? Write a paper not shorter than 100 pages.
What did Paul appeal from the Corinthians at the end of 2 Corinthians ?
Write a paper not shorter than 150 pages.
