2 Corinthians 11:4-6 - Corinthian Distractions

2 Corinthians 11:4-6 - Corinthian Distractions

  • Semi-Technical
  • Michael Horton

In Corinth the simplicity of the gospel was undermined. Silver-tongued speakers made promises about the keys to success and happiness. Because they made at least some appeal to Christ, the super-apostles convinced some of the Corinthian believers that they were still bringing the gospel. However, for them the gospel was not enough. They wanted to make Christianity relevant in a pagan commercial center like Corinth. The church had to promise answers to questions the Bible never answered and solve riddles about which the Bible was not the least bit interested. The apostle Paul addressed these issues in 2 Corinthians 11:4-6.

(Separation of sin and sinner?) Sin is intensely personal in that it manifests itself in the denial of Jesus Christ as Master and Lord. Thomas R. Schreiner
