Below is a scholarly history of how 1 Cor 13 has been interpreted. https://ntresources.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/perfectpaper94.pdf

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Are you sure God told you that? Seems kind of fishy if you ask me.

Maybe both broken and given are added. Here is the CSB 1 Cor 11:24 and when he had given thanks, broke it, and said, “This is my body, which is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” The Old Latin and Syriac traditions, followed by the MajT, add κλώμενον (“broken”); the Vulgate, Coptic, and...

Maybe you're right. I will need to investigate.

You have stated what I believe is the consensus. Paul probably was never an official member of the Sanhedrin even though he was a disciple of one of their most renown members, Gamaliel. As his disciple he was probably interning and given tasks of greater responsibility with the authority of...

Paul was telling them not to be deceived into thinking it was ok to commit fornication with temple prostitutes. And he extends the point to any other kind of fleshly lusts that they used to do before they got saved but they don't do anymore. He is reminding them that if they listen to these...

Jesus mentioned it about 70 times if I am not mistaken. Unfortunately there are many who are deceiving themselves by repeating false teachings that fornicators will inherit the Kingdom of Heaven. But they will not. Repentance is required. It's not open for debate.

I don't know how to answer forms. I've been divorced and I am currently single. Do I choose Divorced or Single? I don't think it is anyone's business if I have been divorced so I choose Single. Am I lying!? :eek:

I don't need a book or a set of Christian Singles Group rules guide to know what would grieve the Spirit of the Lord. What kind of physical contact are you saying should be allowed? This is highly suspect. :unsure:

Here is another .... Much has been written as to whether his use of a different word for love82 in any way limits or qualifies his answer.83 But the two words, whatever their different nuances,84 are used interchangeably in this Gospel for the Father’s love for the Son (for example, 3:35...

I understand your reasons for considering it. I did too. But when I look into it I discover that the Greek scholars that actually know Greek don't agree with these theories about the different word exchange between Peter and Jesus. Like this from F.F. Bruce. Stylistically, this interchange...

I mean why would NASB, ESV, CSB or others say anything different than the KJV if the correct translation should be the English word Love. None of them, including the KJV is translating it "weak kind of love" and "God kind of Love" or something that communicates that because all these...

Agape was used in many verses referring to an evil love also. Therefore it is not possible to support this interpretation between Jesus and Peter with the word Agape and Phileo. And the same can be said for Phileo where it is used in the most postive of spiritual commitments in some verses...

And yet there is nothing in these texts that suggest that those who want to be married should be carnal, disgusting, or live on the edge, about how they pursue that relationship. Rules for courting are as ancient as morality. Very strict rules are encouraged the more serious one takes a view...

I don't date. I have never liked it since I got saved and filled with the Holy Spirit. It seems carnal and worldly. I like rules, boundaries and fearing God and hating even the appearance of sin. I would not be in a house alone with a woman who was interested in marrying me. I would not...

Maybe you don't understand what is being discussed. We can start a voting poll on a topic with several possible interpretations on a verse for people to vote on. People do it now. We can start a thread and a voting poll with a couple of different names in the list to vote on for a discussion...

This is going to open a can of worms but that's what I am here for. LOL I used to think this too. Because I heard other Preachers who could not read Greek repeat it from other preachers who did not read Greek. Then I found out it wasn't true. It turns out that just like the English word...

Translating Greek words into English includes learning how those Greek words were used in other writings from the same time. When those documents exist it is not guesswork. It is proof that the word had a history of meaning a certain thing to the readers of that day. But I am going to quit...

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And we know John did not see an electric table lamp right? What did it mean in his day? An oil based lamp.
