REL 223 Test #2
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Corinth | major seaport and commercial city Wealthy city with great diversity Reputation for excitement and vice |
| Corinthian church | Paul visited them many times and wrote many letters They were new Christians |
| Timeline of Paul's relationship to Corinthian church | Paul founded church First letter Response from Corinthians with questions 1 Corinthians - explains how to behave and live Paul's "painful visit" Painful letter 2 Corinthians - letter of reconciliation Paul's third and final visit |
| Social diversity of Corinthians | Two classes - upper class (10%) - educated, wealthy, property owners, head of household - lower class (90%) - uneducated, soldiers, artisans, merchants, slaves No middle class Classes had little interaction |
| Social diversity and the Corinthian church | Had both social classes together (an unusual situation) - they didn't get along and it caused problems within the church Classes practiced the Christian faith differently which led to divisions within the church |
| 1 Corinthians main point - Idol meat | 2 views - it doesn't mean anything as idols aren't real vs. it's idolatry (Paul agrees with first one) Knowledge of one true God yields freedom to eat idol meat Paul prohibits consumption of idol meat in a ritual context but not a non-religious context |
| 1 Corinthians main point - Marriage and sexuality - Celibacy when married | Paul says that celibacy is good - but it's not required as it is not for everybody |
| 1 Corinthians main point - Marriage and sexuality - Singles | Remain unmarried unless you can't control your sexual life Ultimately up to them what they want to do |
| 1 Corinthians main point - Marriage and sexuality - Divorce | Both believers - Shouldn't divorce - if you do, remain unmarried or reconcile with each other only one believer - Don't have to divorce because one doesn't believe - "If unbelieving spouse let it be so" "You might bring the unbelieving spouse to believe" |
| 1 Corinthians main point - Marriage in general | Remain in current social status/conditions - obeying the commandments of God is of ultimate value Also believed that Parousia was about to happen so it made sense to remain in current state |
| 1 Corinthians main point - Leaders in the Church/Paul's gospel | Church members thought that worldly wisdom and power were most important - Paul says God's wisdom and power will unite them Christ is not divided God has called common people Christ and his crucifixion is center of gospel "Don't be puffed up" |
| 1 Corinthians main point - Resurrection (issue) | Some members are saying there is no resurrection They thought resurrection happened in last days and that they were already in the last days - they thought they had experienced a spiritual resurrection (no need for physical resurrection) |
| 1 Corinthians main point - Resurrection (Paul's response) | Paul explains that Christ has been raised from the dead - as a counter example to their claim First Christ's resurrection (in the past) then resurrection of believers in Parousia |
| 1 Corinthians main point - How dead are raised | Physical body is perishable, resurrected body will be imperishable Physical body from Adam, spiritual body from Christ Must be changed - flesh and blood cannot inherit God's kingdom Continuity - same person with body will have spiritual body |
| 1 Corinthians main point - The Lord's Supper | some members eating early and consuming a lot, others have nothing and get left out lower-class excluded from participation -focus should be on remembering Jesus' death and should treat others as full members and full participants of the body of Christ |
| Super-apostles | Jewish Christian missionaries and teachers skilled in speaking and knowledge - game to Corinth after Paul They boast in worldly things taking advantage of church by taking financial support |
| Criticisms against Paul | Acted in a worldly fashion boasted about his authority too much sick a lot and poor speaker Paul was crafty wanted him to perform signs and wonders |
| Pauls response to criticisms against him | criticism to Paul is criticism for God's work He won't compare himself - then goes on to say he is not inferior to Super-Apostles Brags as a fool - weak in speech but not in knowledge "power made perfect in weakness" |
| Ideas of what is going on with 2 Corinthians structure | Single letter - Paul received new information while writing 2 letters - First letter - then painful letter 3+ letters |
| Old covenant vs. New Covenant | Old (Sinai) - letters on stone tablets, Death, Glory (lesser) New (Christ) - Spirit on our hearts, Life, Glory (greater) - Believers see the glory of the Lord and are being transformed into the same image |
| Substitutionary atonement vs. participatory atonement | Substitutionary - One has died for all Participatory - all have died - in Christ, sharing his life death and resurrection |
| New Creation and Reconciliation - Pauls ministry | All have died in Christ (participatory atonement) Believers in Christ are a new creation Reconciliation - God reconciled himself to us through Christ - we had a bad relationship with God b/c sin but God is reversing the effects of the fall |
| Collection for the saints (Jerusalem church) | Paul solicited money to fulfill the prophetic promise that in the last days, the wealth of nations would flow into Jerusalem Paul agreed to "remember the poor" Motivations - Test the genuineness of their love - Offer thanksgiving and glory to God |
| Themes of 2 Corinthians | ch. 10-13 - Painful letter - Paul's ministry of power through weakness Ch. 3 - ministry of a new covenant of Greater Glory Ch. 5 - Ministry of a New Creation and Reconciliation Ch. 8-9 Ministry of the collection for the Saints |
| Proofs that a person is justified by faith in Christ, not works of the law | Experience Scripture Analogy - law/torah can't annul promise to Abraham Torah as an enslaving power Frendship Allegory (extended analogy) |
| Paraenesis of Galatians | Warning against acceptance of the Torah - enslavement Life in the flesh and life in the Spirit - freedom to be the type of human beings God intended, freedom FROM hostile powers (Torah, sin, death) Recommendations - call to faithful living |
| True Way of living according to Paul in Galatians | Freedom in the Spirit (Not freedom in the law or following the law) |
| Yoke of Slavery | The burden of the Torah |
| How Paul defends his gospel | Not from a human source Received by God and approved by leaders of the Jerusalem church - they made no changes Paul defended the truth of the gospel against Peter |
| Imputed vs Imparted Righteousness | Imputed - Not really righteous but counted/declared by God as righteous Imparted - Actual righteousness - declared righteous but also participate in it |
| Righteousness through faith vs law | Because of Christ's sacrifice, the law is irrelevant to receiving righteousness righteousness is really received through the spirit and through faith - By living by the spirit, we live righteously |
| Why then the law? | Law reveals sin Law condemns sin Law provokes sin It was added because of transgressions until the savior would come to shift to a new covenant |
| Pre-Christian status to Adopted children of Father status | Pre-Christian - slaves to spiritual powers such as demonic, pagan gods, and the law Adopted Children - free and fully enfranchised heirs - confirmed by their worship experience crying "Abba" |
| Setting - Galatians | Galatia - Galatians were an ethnic group not in Galatia Churches - Most are Gentiles who accepted Paul + his gospel on his first visit Influenced by "false apostles" to reject Paul's version |
| Opponents of Paul in Galatians | Preached a different gospel - confused congregation (have to become Jews) Interested in Gentile Salvation through not only faith but keeping law Only differ from Paul in gospel they preach Galatians wanted to live obedient lives - made it appealing |
