THE FIRST EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE CORINTHIANS
CHAPTER 10
CHRISTIAN CONSCIENCE BIBLE VERSE TRUTH BIBLICAL CONSCIENCE IN THE BIBLE EXPLAINED
Back again for
more Daily Bread? It's great to have you here! We're resuming our study of
Paul's first letter to the Corinthians and he's about to give the
Corinthians a comparison to ponder.

When a person becomes a Christian, they begin to receive and
recognize the Spiritual gifts that are bestowed on them. Paul warns the
Corinthians not to get charmed (by false teachers, whispers, etc.) into
thinking that they were immune from danger because of these blessings. He
gives them the example of the children of Israel in the wilderness, how they
were baptized into the covenant of which Moses was the mediator, under God's
protection, but even they had problems.
They witnessed all the signs
and wonders and miracles that the Lord worked in Egypt to bring them out
of bondage, then parted the Red sea, provided food from heaven and water from rocks, all
the while, being protected by Christ. But they got complacent. They made
a golden calf and worshiped it, they fornicated, they were ungrateful,
they murmured ... So God wasn't very happy with many of them and they were destroyed in the wilderness.
CHRISTIAN CONSCIENCE BIBLE VERSE MEANING BIBLICAL CONSCIENCE IN THE BIBLE QUEST
Numbers 14:29 Your carcasses shall fall in this wilderness; and all that were
numbered of you, according to your whole number, from twenty years
old and upward which have murmured against me. |
Now, these things became our examples,
with the purpose of teaching us that we shouldn't act as they did, or be idolaters,
as some of them were:
Exodus 32:6
And they
rose up early on the morrow, and offered burnt offerings, and
brought peace offerings; and the people sat down to eat and to
drink, and rose up to play. |
CHRISTIAN CONSCIENCE BIBLE VERSE RULES BIBLICAL CONSCIENCE IN THE BIBLE JOURNEY
And we're not to commit fornication, as some of them did, and in one day twenty three thousand were destroyed.
Let us not tempt Christ, as some of them did, and were destroyed of serpents.
Numbers 21:6
And the LORD sent fiery serpents among the people, and they bit
the people; and much people of Israel died.
|
Nor should you complain, as some of them also complained, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
Numbers 16:32
And the earth opened her mouth, and swallowed them up, and their
houses, and all the men that appertained unto Korah, and all their
goods. |
Now again, all these things happened to them for examples: and they are written for our instruction
... Others have fallen, and so may we. But this next verse is VERY interesting!
1 Corinthians 10:13 There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man:
but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above
that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to
escape, that ye may be able to bear it. |
CHRISTIAN CONSCIENCE BIBLE VERSE DISCUSSION BIBLICAL CONSCIENCE IN THE BIBLE PATH
This is a very
important thing to remember. Many people like to blame God for many things
that happen to them, not only temptation. But look at the TRUTH. He always
gives you the choice to say no to temptation.
As for other things that
people blame on God, there are many things that aren't meant for us to
understand. If you read the book of Job, you'll find that a lot of things
happened that Job could have asked, Why did God let this happen? And indeed,
he did ask.
But never did he get angry with God Himself, or blame God. He
didn't like the circumstances he was in, but he always maintained his Faith
and Love for God. An important lesson.
Lastly on the subject, Paul
implores them to flee from idolatry. That may not really make a big
impression on you, since the word idolatry isn't really used much in our
day and age, but I'd like to point out two things. First, idolatry
doesn't only mean worshiping an image, it means putting more importance
on anything other than God.
CHRISTIAN CONSCIENCE BIBLE VERSE TRUTH BIBLICAL CONSCIENCE IN THE BIBLE EXPLAINED
It could be a living person, an addiction, a
video game, a collection, a pet, a possession, a car ... Just about
anything. If it's more important to you than God, it's idolatry. Second,
note the word flee.
When you think of someone fleeing from something,
you don't imagine them simply abstaining from it, you imagine them
running from it, so, just so you get the emotion with which Paul is
warning us about this practice, remember the word flee.
Now remember, the
new Christians at Corinth have devoted their lives to following Jesus. Think
of new Christians today. When a person becomes a Christian, do they
completely excommunicate themselves with friends and family who are not
Christians and never visit them? If that were the case, how would lost sheep
ever find their way to Jesus?
However ... To participate in idolatry with
them would certainly not be the way to glorify Jesus or the means by which
to save a soul. Paul recalls to them the Lord's supper.
CHRISTIAN CONSCIENCE BIBLE VERSE HOPE BIBLICAL CONSCIENCE IN THE BIBLE GIFT
Paul says in effect ... You're
intelligent people ... Think over what I say.
In participating in the Lord's
supper, are we not declaring that we are in communion with Christ? It
also symbolizes that those partaking of the Lord's supper are one ...
The body of Christ.
Look at the Jews after the flesh
(who had not converted to Christianity). Those Israelites who offer
sacrifices to God, and eat of those sacrifices are professing that they are
one and in communion with God.
So it stands to reason that
those who participate in sacrificing to idols, and eat the meat offered
to the idols, are professing that they are in communion with their
fellow idolaters, and that they are in communion with the idols (devils)
they worship.
CHRISTIAN CONSCIENCE BIBLE VERSE RESEARCH BIBLICAL CONSCIENCE IN THE BIBLE VOYAGE
Probably knowing that some would recall that
previously Paul said:
1 Corinthians 8:4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are
offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing
in the world, and that there is none other God but one. |
... He elaborates ... What
was it I said? That idols aren't real, so that makes everything okay?
No, The sacrifices that the heathen sacrifice are to devils. The idol
is nothing, but to the worshiper it is real. It was demon worship, and
to partake of it would denote that one was in harmony with others they
are feasting with. For a Christian to participate in this would be to
show others that they approve of it. And the last thing that Paul
would want is for the new Christians of Corinth to be in communion
with devils.
You can't have communion
with the Lord and communion with devils ... The two are so contrary
that it's unfathomable.
Wouldn't doing such a thing
be testing the Lord's resolve? Is anyone that strong?
