1 | 1 Cor 7:12 not a denial of inspiration | 1 Cor 7:12 | kalos | 58654 | ||
In 1 Cor 7:12, do Paul's words have the same authority as the words of Christ Himself? They sure do! Moreover, "personal attack[s] on the authority of the Bible or on other users of this forum" will NOT be tolerated. The contrast is not between inspired teaching and uninspired teaching. 1 Corinthians 7:1-12. Someone writes: "Paul does have the grace to say that this is not from the Lord, but his own personal opinions." No, no, no, no! A thousand times no. Paul neither says nor implies that these are his own personal opinions. "(1 Cor 7:12) In vv. 1-12 the contrast is not between inspired teaching and uninspired teaching, as some have supposed. In vv. 10-11 Paul is repeating in substance something already taught by the Lord; but in v. 12 he is dealing with a situation not covered by our Lord's teaching. Instead of disclaiming inspiration for what he writes in v. 12, the apostle is actually claiming for his own words here the same authority as for the words of Christ Himself" (note at 1 Cor 7:12, New Scofield Reference Bible, Oxford, 1967). Please note: in 1 Cor 7:12 "*I...say.* Not a denial of inspiration or an indication that Paul is giving human opinion, but simply a way of saying that Jesus had not spoken on this and God had not previously given revelation on the matter, as Paul was then writing" (p. 1738, MacArthur Study Bible, Word, 1997) |

1 Cor 7:12 is not any less inspired than John 3:16, or what people spoke. But, I think Paul's words have the less authority than those of Christ. Paul of giving his opinion, which may not be fact ... which all of His words are. IMHO, Searcher |
