Welcome to Sacred Sunday! Sue Not, Lest Ye Be Sued. Paul has some
other advice. Don't take each other to court over every little
thing. Somewhere, Judge Judy is cheering. Sue Not, Lest Ye Be Sued.
Seriously, Corinthians. Let the church community help settle
it. Sounds like a good idea. That's way better than going in front
of a bunch of non-believers in Roman courts. What would be even
better was if Christians didn't sue each other at all, but Paul's
not going to shoot for the moon here. Kingdom of God Entrance Exam.
After all, Paul explains, terrible people are not going to inherit
the kingdom of God. Not even a little bit. Fornicators? Idolaters?
Adulterers? Male prostitutes? Sodomites? Thieves? Greedy folks?
Drunks? Abusers? They're all out. Paul points out that some of the
folks in the Christian church used to be guilty of this kind of
stuff. Uh-oh…But, then they were baptized in Christ and it's all
good. Let's just try to keep it that way, guys. It Does a
Body Good. Because they've become new people through baptism, it
seems the Corinthians think that they can do whatever they like.
Not quite. Sure, they could go around having sex with loads of
different people and eating whatever they want, but Paul doesn't
really think this is a swell idea. They've got to treat their
bodies right. After all, the Corinthians' bodies belong to God.
They're his temples, remember? Besides, it's not like their bodies
are going to get left behind in the end. Nope. God is going to
raise them up… eventually. So that means if you have some sexy
times with a prostitute, then you're becoming one with a prostitute
and not with God. Look, Paul says, the point is, our bodies aren't
our own. We can't just go around sleeping with whomever and think
it's a-okay, because it is not. There goes the Corinthians' fun
weekend plans. Thanks to www.shmoop.com
