Questions

What is a Sacrament, and should foot washing (like in John 13) be included like the Lord's Supper and Baptism?
Thanks for your note and question. First, I'll give you the answer to your first question from the article on "Sacraments" in the New Bible Dictionary: SACRAMENTS. The word 'sacrament' (Lat. sacramentum) in its technical t...
As a Christian, is it ok to be around people who are homosexual?
I think the answer to your question is to be found in 1 Corinthians chapter 5. First, let me give you the link to a sermon on that text, and then I'll make a few comments. The church at Corinth had a serious problem. One of ...
When a husband and wife disagree on the teachings of certain churches, should the wife submit to her husband since he is the spiritual leader in the home?
As I understand the Scriptures, the wife is to demonstrate her submission to her husband by respecting him, and by obeying him in any way that is not contrary to the Bible. There may be a time when a wife must choose to obey ...
Im concerned for a few friends who are involved in Wicca. How should I go about talking to them about it?
You are absolutely right to be concerned about those involved in Wicca. They are heading down the path of their own destruction, and they may lead others astray also. Here are some of the Biblical texts which I would suggest...
With whom is a Christian free to break bread?
The New Testament, as I understand it, only suggests two requirements for partaking of the Lord's table: (1) It is for believers, all members of the Body of Christ, not just a church member. All believers belong to His bo...
What does the head covering in 1 Cor. 11 refer to?
If you have not read Dan Wallace's outstanding article, What is the Head Covering in 1 Corinthians 11 and Does It Apply to Us Today? I would encourage you to do so. You'll find it in the "Prof's Soapbox" section on our web si...
Will you explain 1 Cor. 15:29?
This is an extremely problematic text as even a cursory reading demonstrates. It is problematic because it seems to fly in the face of all that we know of Pauline theology and his view of the rite of baptism. Some of the exeg...

Expository Notes on the Bible (Constable)

6. The early state of the church 2:42-47

Luke now moved from describing what took place on a particular day to a more general description of the life of the early Jerusalem church (cf. 4:32-5:11; 6:1-6). Interestingly he gave comparatively little attention to the in...
James' testimony 15:13-21

15:13-14 James was Jesus' half brother, the writer of the Epistle of James, and the leading figure in the Jerusalem church (12:17; Gal. 1:19; 2:9, 12).612"Simeon"was Peter's older Jewish name. James' use of it would have emph...
VI. THE PRACTICE OF GOD'S RIGHTEOUSNESS 12:1--15:13

In contrasting chapters 1-11 with chapters 12-16 of Romans, perhaps the most important distinction is that the first part deals primarily with God's actions for humanity, and the last part deals with people's actions in respo...

B. Food offered to idols 8:1-11:1

The Corinthians had asked Paul another question, evidently in a combative spirit judging by the apostle's response. It involved a practice common in their culture.The commentators understand the situation that Paul addressed ...
The application of Israel's example 10:6-13

Though idolatry was the cause of Israel's failure and the focus of Paul's warning to this church, four other evil characteristics of Israel also seem to have marked the Corinthians. These characteristics also resulted in the ...
The incompatibility of Christianity and idolatry 10:14-22

The apostle proceeded to warn his readers of the danger of idolatry further (cf. v. 7). This paragraph concludes the long argument that Paul began in 8:1 concerning going to temple feasts.10:14 Formerly Paul urged the Corinth...
4. The issue of marketplace food 10:23-11:1

As with the issue of marriage, however, Paul granted that there are some matters connected with idolatry that are not wrong. He next gave his readers some help in making the tough choices needed in view of the amoral nature o...

E. Spiritual gifts and spiritual people chs. 12-14

Paul had been dealing with matters related to worship since 8:1. He had forbidden the Corinthians from participating in temple meals but had allowed eating marketplace meat under certain circumstances (8:1-11:1). Then he deal...

Paul turned from Christ's career to the Christian's experience to argue ad hominemfor the resurrection.377The Corinthians' actions, and his, bordered on absurdity if the dead will not rise. This paragraph is something of a di...
