scriptures paraphrased to post
🕊️a reading & study 🕊️
1 - But, I (Paul) couldn’t address you as spiritual, but as still carnal! For you were as infants in Christ. 2 I fed you with milk, for you weren’t ready for solid food. And even now you’re not ready. 3 For while there is jealousy, arguments, strife and division among you - are you not still being carnal? Behaving only in the {lower} human {selfish, self interest, self first} way? 4 For when one says, “I follow Paul,” and another says, “I follow Apollos,” are you not being merely divisive? {With its eventual dislike? And like the world can progress to hatred, perhaps war? Every division/dislike/hate believes itself righteous, even enlightened.. more than and better than.. worthy to be spit out, a product of actually being luke warm due to still self first, hence not sacred/hagios (separated) translated holy (whoLe, real).} 5 What then is Apollos? {A good teacher “knowledgeable in the scripture”.} What is Paul?! We are only servants of the LORD. Servants through whom you received God’s message. 6 I planted, Apollos watered. But God is the one who gave and gives the growth. {It’s God’s work. In the world, politics actually has core values - among the people, that is - and parties are different views on how to actally achieve those core values. But! Demonizing one another gets followers and votes. But is highly corrosive, a very bad portent. It is way too easy to convince the carnal to embrace, first superiority, and then sadly, hate. Opposite of Love.}
