Instead of noticing the "out of balance Pauline folks" who tend to justify ignoring Corinthians, I say that we can and still should look to Corinthians for Scriptural direction TO us.

We must just remember:

• There are still Jews in the audiences in Corinthians!
• Written in the Acts 19-21 time!
• The Corinthian church folks were truly messed up folks - we can all sure relate to them!
• The physical kingdom hadn't yet been done away with totally yet - that which was to come hadn't come!
• Because 'it' has come today, the source to know about 'helps' today is from the KJB - not from Paul and his people physically!
• So, Paul's stuff, including Corinthians, is still TO us and so the help from Paul is found in all the KJB - rightly divided, rightly read and rightly studied!

• present our "bodies" - a living sacrifice... - physical - things we do in our daily walk.
• choices:
• 1) ignore any physical Christianity - 'We can't do it anyway!" and just ride the grace wave!
• 2) accept the verse yet head to the Gospels and early Acts for the directions and turn to Hebrews to Jude for the consequences!
• 3) wrongly look to Paul - ignore Corinthians as well as the others - and just concentrate on the prison epistles - ride the grace wave!
• 4) seek Paul's help from the KJB - strengthen your faith - learn what Christ did TO us as well as FOR us - and respond like men - quit ye like men - it is our reasonable service!

• II Corinthians 1:14 - We rejoice in our acknowledgment towards Paul and his crew - and in return, that does the same thing back to them - and is applicable to us all today:
• acknowledge Paul's helpers as having been refreshing to you!  I Corinthians 16:18
• I Thessalonians 5:12,13 - all part of having peace among ourselves today.
• II Corinthians 8:24 - 9:15 - show the proof of our love by doing what we should be to take care of folks, especially of one's pastor, etc.  There will be fruits of your righteousness - in what you do for them.  You will grow yourself!
• This is all something most pastors don't encourage - they would rather demand and lord themselves over their folks!
• Here is more to acknowledge today:
• Paul's writings are truly from God - I Corinthians 14:37
• acknowledging of the truth - God gives you repentance!  II Timothy 2:25
• acknowledging of every good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus gives you an effectual testimony to others - Philemon 1:6
• acknowledging the Son does not give us salvation today - that is during the Tribulation (and Gospels) - I John 2:23  For salvation today, see Ephesians 1:13 & Romans 10:9,10, etc.
• II Corinthians 4:14-18 - helps our abundant grace give God the proper glory!
• Not through a bad testimony of being a 'grace abuser' - others notice and truly wonder about 'your brand of Christianity.'
• Our liberty is still to not cause someone to stumble, must edify; must not get entangled in the affairs of this life; not as an occasion to the flesh;
• I Corinthians 8:9; I Corinthians 10:23; Galatians 5:1; Galatians 5:13
• II Corinthians 8:19 - develop a ready mind!
• The world has a reprobated mind - corrupt, destitute of the truth.  They walk in the vanity of their mind, etc.!
• Romans 1; I Timothy 6; II Timothy 3; Ephesians 4:17-19
• We can learn from Christ if we hear him and what he teaches as truth today and that is through Paul, our apostle!  Ephesians 4:20,21
• II Corinthians 4:16 - renew our mind inwardly!
• Romans 12:2 - renewed mind!
• Ephesians 4:22-24 - Be renewed in the spirit of your mind and put on the new man.
• The King James Bible - daily - will give us a renewed mind!  I Thessalonians 1:13, etc.
• II Corinthians 10:8-18 - the authority given to Paul, etc. was for our edification, nor our destruction.
• There is nothing there for Paul to be ashamed, no matter what folks have to say about him - and there is nothing in rightly dividing that should cause our destruction - except the destruction of the wrong path we have been led down - or chosen to follow as profane and vain babblings.
• II Corinthians 11:3 - help us not to be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ.
• One - Ephesians 4:4-6 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as ye are called in one hope of your calling; One Lord, one faith, one baptism, One God and Father of all, who is above all, and through all, and in you all.
• One Book - what THAT which is perfect comes... - singular - one Bible!  I Corinthians 13:10; Psalm 12:6,7, etc.
• II Timothy 2:15,16 eliminates so much confusion and so-called contradiction in teachings.
• If it isn't 'rightly' divided, then it is done wrongly and is called profane and vain babblings - no matter how good it sounds or the good results it produces in the early stages.  It does all lead to an increase in ungodliness and doth eat like a canker...!  Verse 16 - But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness. And their word will eat as doth a canker: of whom is Hymenaeus and Philetus;

• Romans 11:25 - not to be wise in our own conceits
• Romans 11:31 - to have mercy towards others
• Romans 12:19 - to not avenge ourselves, but rather give place unto wrath - and let God take care of it - now, or later!
• Romans 12:2 - renew our mind so that we could actually improve our physical walk to God's own pleasing.
• Romans 16:19 - be wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil
