Partakers of the Body of Christ and the New Covenant

[Derf]

That kinda lines up with what follows it:

28But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.

It feels like we are being called to contrition here.

Those at Corinth were, and we should be too, if acting like they were.

 

[Derf]

Paul knew, as should you, that every group of believers is mixed with unbelievers.

So if some of the believers there were acting like the future unbelievers Paul was writing to, should they listen to Paul and change their behavior, or not listen to Paul and keep acting the same way?

 

[Derf]

Sometimes you can't.

But the believers were allowed to act that way. Only unbelievers need change their ways, right?

 

[Derf]

No, He was writing to believers, but he was aware that there would be unbelievers who would read his words, and think to themselves, "well I guess I'll do this too, so I can appear righteous."

His warning was for them.

What would happen different to them if they don't heed his warning?

They are already destined to hell forever, right? Is God going to turn the heat up 7 times normal?

It was written to the whole congregation.

 

[Right Divider]

It was written to the whole congregation.

Duh

Yes, a mix of different people.

 

[Derf]

It was written to the whole congregation.

And future readers as well, both believers (some who look like unbelievers, according to @Right Divider) and unbelievers (who look like believers, according to @JudgeRightly)

I said no such thing, you're a lying fool.

 

[Derf]

Isnt this your response to fzappa13?

So, how do we tell the difference between the two?

Sometimes you can't.

 

[Right Divider]

Isnt this your response to fzappa13?

Yes, that is what I said.
Nobody but God knows for sure.

 

[Derf]

Yes, that is what I said.
Nobody but God knows for sure.

Meaning that some believers look like unbelievers, right?

 

[Tambora]

But the believers were allowed to act that way.

No.

Only unbelievers need change their ways, right?

No.

The whole congregation should act accordingly.

 

[Right Divider]

Looks mean nothing.

You're far away from the point and continuing to go off on pointless tangents.

 

[Right Divider]

The whole congregation should act accordingly.

Ever person who ever lived should have lived perfectly.

Let's all just make vague generalities about everything.

 

[Derf]

Looks mean nothing.

You're far away from the point and continuing to go off on pointless tangents.

Which is your way of admitting that what I said was correct, despite your slander.

 

[Derf]

Had anyone noticed how the MADs seem to use the same reactions as flat-earthers when they don't have an answer?

Poor confused Derf, doesn't know the difference between libel and slander
BTW, @JudgeRightly explained the issue with the passage about "unworthyness". That you cannot understand is par for the course.

That you guys think that you are under Israel's covenant is just sad. You've swallowed too much Churchianity.

You got me there.

Yet you think that's something to laugh about?

BTW, @JudgeRightly explained the issue with the passage about "unworthyness". That you cannot understand is par for the course.

That's why I asked further questions. Yet the answer was ""?

That you guys think that you are under Israel's covenant is just sad.

Why is that even related to Paul's admonition not to treat the Lord's table scornfully?

You've swallowed too much Churchianity.

You've swallowed quite a bit more of something.

And you don't even seem able to give an answer when someone asks a question.

 

[Right Divider]

I was going back to the original topic of the thread.
