Infrequent Celebration of the Supper is the Devil’s Work

Punished by the Tongue
The Devil, because he had deceived Eve with his tongue, is punished by the tongue, that he might not speak.” –Bede
The Devil Went Down to Capernaum (Luke 4:31-44)

Our Hope is not in Vain
Richard Hays concludes his excellent treatment of I Corinthians 15: Those who affirm the truth of Christ’s resurrection will be given the moral confidence to live in a way that shows that their hope is not in vain.
Baptism for the Dead I Corinthians 15:29
The problem with taking this baptism as something erroneous occurring in Corinth is that Paul does not express any form of grave or minuscule disapproval of the practice. Daniel Hoffman pointed me to an interpretation that sees baptism happening as a result of the … Continue reading
