1 | Mat 17:20 vs I Cor 13:2? | Mark 9:23 | Chris | 8741 | ||
Nolan, let me clarify my question. Jesus says that we need faith as a mustard seed, which was the smallest seed for planting purposes in Judea; I've heard they're almost as small as the head of a needle. But, Paul acts as if faith to move mountains is the most monumentous act of faith, how are we to interpret these Scripture together? Secondly, are the statements Paul makes in I Cor 13:1-3 possible? Notice that Paul states in vs. 2, "If I have the gift of prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge;" but in vs. 9,10 he states, "For we know in part and we prophesy in part; but when the perfect comes, the partial will be done away." So, is it possible to prophecy all mysteries and have all knowledge? If these are not possible, what about the other statements in vs 1 and 3? If vs. 2 is impossible what does that say about the other verses and how do I know if vs. 1 is possible? |

2 | Mat 17:20 vs I Cor 13:2? | Mark 9:23 | Searcher56 | 8779 | ||
Chris ... Here you are asking another question. He changes the pronoung in vv. 9-10 and only covers two if the items in vv. 1-3. It possible to prophecy all mysteries and have all knowledge B-U-T if there is no love, the person is nothing. Verses 1-3 are possible ... and Paul is not saying any different. Again, all he is saying no matter what you do, if you do not have love, you are nothing. My answer is still the same. Steve |

3 | I Cor. 13:2 vs 13:9; all knowledge? | Mark 9:23 | Chris | 8781 | ||
Steve, I dont understand what you are saying. If one can prophesy all mysteries and all knowledge, why does Paul say we only prophesy in part and know in part? How are these not contradictory? What are you saying about pronouns? |

4 | I Cor. 13:2 vs 13:9; all knowledge? | Mark 9:23 | Searcher56 | 8792 | ||
Chris ... The pronouns in 1 Cor 13:1-3 are I (and there is the word "if"). In verse 9, it is we (where there is no word "if). In verse 9, he also does not mention faith. Now is Paul talking about himself about having partial prophecy and knowledge? Probably, but the other points are not included in verse 9. He says we only do these two in part, because that is our limitation. There is no contractiction between verse 2 and 9, nor with the issue of faith. Steve |
