This is all from corinthians 1 and 2 but i am really stuck on this. so if there is some help i have tried comentaries and prayed and i am really stuck Thanks The Bass player What i have so far The church in Corinth dealt with being sold out for God but still being part of this world. They ate meat that was offered to the Idols of that time and pretty much lived the way that the Greco Romans did, causing issues with morality and living the way Christ Jesus called us to live especially when we believe and confess he is God. They were prideful with what they had as well they were boastful and caused issues amongst them selves. How did Paul the man who had an encounter upon a road deal with the issues going into Corinth? Things that they criticized Paul about where, when he refused to take money that they were giving him for his own gain but to support the ministry more. The Corinth church had a bunch of apostles who were not authentic who rose up and tried to challenge his authority and undermined Paul. First Corinthians the other problems were Jealousy divisions Bringing down the leaders of that time well criticizing them. In second Corinthians a new group moved in this is Paul Edited January 31, 2008 by Bassplayer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He urged them to take action based on the Spirit of truth within them all. He kept to the facts that couldn't be argued, he wasn't vague or overly offensive but urged action.
