  4. Sacred Sunday~II Corinthians Chapter 11/Paul VS Corinthians/Where is the Respect
The Corinthians & Paul have Issues.  Paul thinks he's
pretty great when compared to the "super-apostles" (ah, sarcasm!
Good one, Paul!). He may not be a fancy public speaker like these
guys, but Paul knows his stuff. After all, he learned it from God.
Apparently, some of these false apostles have been circulating
rumors that if Paul were a real apostle, he would accept a salary
from the Corinthians. Instead, Paul continues to work as a
craftsman (he was a tent-maker) and accepts support from other
Christians, but not Corinth. What gives? Paul tells them it's not
because he doesn't love them. It's because he does—so much! 
But yeah, when Paul came to visit, he didn't take money from them
for his personal support. He didn't want to be a burden. He just
brought them the good news of Christ Jesus free of charge. Is that
a problem, Corinthians? Paul accuses the false apostles of being in
league with Satan. Does all this bragging make Paul seem a little
foolish? Well then fine. Paul is cool with that… even though he
knows how ridiculous this all sounds. Besides, the Corinthians love
fools. They listen to them talk all day… and even get convinced by
some of their stupid arguments. We're looking at you, false
apostles. If these guys want to have a brag-off, then let's go. Are
these guys Jewish? Well, Paul is, too! Are they serving
Jesus?  Paul has the far more impressive credentials. Five
times he was whipped with 39 lashes. Three times he was beaten with
rods. More ouch. Once he was stoned. Three times he was
shipwrecked. He was lost at sea for a day. He is constantly in
danger wherever he goes. Wow, people do not like Paul. See, unlike
the false apostles, Paul doesn't brag about all the amazing things
he can do or the fancy speeches he gives.
