    Let’s recap. The Israelites came back from 70-years of captivity in Babylon. • They rebuilt the altar and started work on the Temple but the local Samaritans opposed them (cf. Ezra 3). • They were so discouraged they stopped work for some 16 years. Nothing was done to God’s house while they busy ...read more

     | 5,075 views

    Some in the Corinthian church were judging the gifts of believers and preachers. This answer takes off from Paul’s ninth answer about letting God be the judge of ministers.

They were usurping the authority of God alone to gift and to judge men. In reality, they were nothing ...read more
