1 | Any elders in Corinth? | 1 Cor 1:1 | Thomas8 | 206183 | ||
I ponder why Paul doesn't mention them. How does he handle the mess in Galatia? Does he address elders there? Any information on how Paul notes them anywhere would be appreciated. Thank you for your help. (I'm wondering that the church being in disarray Paul might start by chastising the elders - and that, perhaps, they had caused the divisions... but I do not see a bit of that, so far) |

2 | Any elders in Corinth? | 1 Cor 1:1 | stjohn | 206427 | ||
Hi Thomas: I think Brother Steve, makes a very good point! I agree, and a big, AMEN! I think that Paul, was indeed chastising the elders. This is just my opinion, and I have limited experience, (I wont get into details here), but I've seen first hand, elders as those actually responsible for extra-biblical, and in fact, anti-scriptural, childish behavior. My suggestion is, since the elders, or overseers/deacons, (even Pastors, if we indeed apply the message to our present condition), whoever, are usually responsible for the behavior in congregations. (I'm not removing responsibility from all, or any, parishioners; of course we all have to take responsibility for our own actions.) Perhaps paul though, was addressing them, (the elders) even more so, than the general population at these Churches. Personally, I'm quite convinced, that he was! Just my two cents Shalom and God bless John |
