1 Corinthians Reflection Project “Reason must be deluded‚ blinded‚ and destroyed. Faith must trample underfoot all reason‚ sense‚ and understanding‚ and whatever it sees must be put out of sight and ... know nothing but the word of God.” Martin Luther had great insight and encouragement knowing the sheer fact that the war between the world and the cross would be an on going battle. In 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 God pronounced the foolishness of the cross. This paragraph begins in 1:18 with a thematic

Corinthians Paul the Apostle is the central figure in many New Testament writings. Many historians have attributed fourteen New Testament letters to Paul’s writing; seven of these letters are uncontested meaning historians are sure that Paul wrote them‚ the remaining seven are contested.

Introduction: This Research Paper will discuss the passage 1 Corinthians: 1-9. This passage discusses the idea of sex before and after marriage‚ the reasons why one should marry.
