There are still a few lines left in that chapter that J0hn hasn't quoted from!

search: "There are doubtless many different kinds of sounds in the world, and nothing is without sound." (14:10)

destroy: "What I am saying, brothers and sisters, is this: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable." (15:50)

I don't know max

I mean I know how that's been used, and I maybe know what Paul was driving at, but there are a number of other ways you could go with it, and some of them are pretty great

That totally goes against Mromrn theology wherein the body is the most sacred thing you have been given & in the resurrection everyone will be reunited with their "perfected" physical bodies & joy joy bcz they've just been souls up in hevvin and now oh man soul+body union forever.

Sorry I am always mentioning Mormo shit, it is not at all my Beliefs, BUT srsly it is always the first reflex thought that arises before anything else. Like if you've been fed and fed while corked up for 20 years it will take a long time for you to get all its shit out of yr system.

max, Monday, 26 November 2007 05:17 (sixteen years ago) link

I'll tell you where I'd take it!

roxymuzak, Monday, 26 November 2007 05:18 (sixteen years ago) link

roxymuzak, Monday, 26 November 2007 05:18 (sixteen years ago) link

I'D exchange it for alcohol and a kind word.

Abbott, Monday, 26 November 2007 05:19 (sixteen years ago) link

Shit I am turning into a hobo.

Abbott, Monday, 26 November 2007 05:19 (sixteen years ago) link

The Bad Samaritan

So we got these cheesy cards at one of the bars I regularly DJ at with invitations to the bar's christmas party, and mine had had this inscribed which I would classify as search:

<i>"Wishing you ... a dream to bless, a star to guide and peace and harmony inside!" 1 Corinthians 16:23</i>

But checking my NSRV translation, 1 Corinthians 16:23 is the second to last verse of the whole book: <i>(23)The grace of the Lord Jesus be with you. (24)My love be with all of you in Christ Jesus.</i>

So I'm thinking that's a really interesting translation, is my point.

oh, bbcodepaws..

Clay, Tuesday, 4 December 2007 02:03 (sixteen years ago) link

Hm, so far googling is unpromising...

Casuistry, Tuesday, 4 December 2007 03:10 (sixteen years ago) link

The stuff about women was probably interpolated by a later author.

Anyway, search: the social message of the book. I love how egalitarian it all is.

Incidentally, J0hn, I've always really loved that part of "Love, Love, Love."

seven years pass...

There's a dude on my bus this morning with long hair and a beard, wearing a confederate overcoat, and reading Second Corinthians. Any highlights from that one?
