The Bible Talks- 1 Corinthians

Still wondering why Jesus changed "me" to "you" in quoting Malachi 3:1 passage What is meant by the end of Matthew 11:19; "Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds"? How should we understand 11:22,24? Does Jesus mean that those who hear and reject the gospel will be judged and punished more harshly than those who reject it without ever hearing it? What were the cities about from 11:20-24? Is the rest...

How does this being said pre-cross change its meaning for us relative to the disciples if it all? If not why does it not change? Central truth? I wonder if V16-25 is about future generations since v 1, 23 seem very specific to now. Perhaps v21-22 seems to be the future (after Jesus' death & resurrection) but perhaps it makes more sense if it is his death. I wonder also if there is a needed ste...

"When it says "This was to fulfil what was spoken..." does that mean Jesus did that only for that reason?" "Why does Jesus describe the apostles as being of little faith? Don't they believe that Jesus can save them from the storm? Why would they ask him to save them if this is not the case?" "Why is it two men in Mathew 8:28-34 but only one man in Mark 5:1-20 and Luke 8:26-39? Even though the rest...

What would be the "speck" in Jesus' eye? Throughout the sermon on the mount, we've seen that everything is about Jesus. But how can we have other applications from other than just "we need Jesus because he fulfills it, he's the only that's righteous."? Mat 7:21-23 how does this go with Romans 10:9 if you declare Jesus is Lord and believe God raised him from the dead you will be saved? Do the false...

V1: What is the reward? Is it our salvation? Do we already have the reward then? Does Matt 6:12 actually written that way, because Jesus is yet to die & rise again. V14-15 seems to provide a different reason. "neither will your Father forgive your trespasses". So you must forgive others first, before you will be forgiven? & how does this work with saved by faith & faith alone? Why were...

1. Psalm 139:21-22 - is that not saying "hate your enemies"? 2. Matt 5:29-30 - Ok yes we are forgiven by Jesus this side of the cross, but are we not still meant to take sin seriously? How does v29-30 meaning change pre vs post cross? Why would Jesus command Jewish ppl to eg. cut out eyes/ hands if he knew he would die and it won't apply to us anymore? What would living out rest look like on this...

Great talk! Really interesting take on the salt! Is it wrong to still think about salt in these ways? (analogies/ ?in something time) On lowkey it's like eisegesis? "The "upside down kingdom" is a common lens of interpretation many preachers have. Is it valid to say the sermon on the mount is a guide for how Christians should have after putting trust in Jesus? If Israel was tasked with being Salt...

Would Jesus have been tempted as a man or as God, since he is both? How would I respond if a friendsays it would ahve been easy for him to overcome temptation as God's son, when I know that isn't true?  Karl mentioned this at the end of TBT: If the world is enslaved to sin and the devil, who is in control? God or Satan? What are the implications for us who are saved, yet still tempted? Was it...

In what sense can judgement be a baptism? If baptism reflects an inward change - either repentance or salvation - what change is reflected by a baptism of judgement? How do we think about the idea of fire being judgement with the fire that comes at Pentecost? Where is the example of bad unity in the bible that Carl talked about?  Jesus was also kind, having dinner/meeting with many people (e....
