Fairy Tale Spotlight: Corinthians I [Book Review]

"Corinthians I" is the forty-sixth book of the "Holy Bible," and although there are some sources claiming that he had a co-writer, I'm just going to say it was written by Paul himself. I don't like it when people argue over things too much. It makes me just not want to go into it.

This book is very similar to "Romans" in that it is another letter/sermon, this time to the port city of Corinth. Once again, I'll try and be brief about the review. These seem to be direct from the Holy Spirit through Paul. Some of the opinions that come up haven't really had a sibling in the Old Testament, at least not clearly.

Paul talks about marriage in a way that is actually surprising. He does actually endorse it, but he says that living a life without marriage is actually better. This is redundantly explained to a point where it was very clear what was being said. Some people just need each other, but a solitary life dedicated to Christ is much stronger. If you think on it, it's not really necessary for every person to get married. There is a lot of pressure for people to get up with someone in society, and it's honestly wrong to perpetuate that. Some people just want to dedicate themselves to their works. I'm one of them.

There was a heck of a lot in this book about charity. It places it at the very top of priorities in your daily works. You have to help others when you can, and if you don't, there's very little point to even existing. This was, once again, made redundantly clear. It is the Holy Spirit talking; remember that.

There are some very unpopular stuff here that would not be acceptable in the modern day concerning the relationship between man and woman and how they should behave while praying and within a church. Without going too much into it [as I want to keep my blog afloat], keep in mind that this stuff is endorsed by the Holy Spirit and in turn by God himself. If you want to actually bother being accurate about being a Christian, this stuff needs to be acknowledged. I have acknowledged it.

Throughout the book, Paul is extremely humble. He considers him to be the least of the apostles, being that he originally hunted them down. Where he does acknowledge that he did meet Jesus personally, it was after he committed these acts. By the way, I am glad he did acknowledge meeting Jesus because this corelates with what Luke wrote in "Acts."

There was some very interesting stuff concerning Jesus and Adam. Adam is actually blamed for death to begin with, but Jesus is actually the conqueror of death, in that he actually conquered death! And when Jesus returns, death is the last problem he is going to take care of. We won't have to worry about it anymore.

Paul talks about the importance of the resurrection in a very interesting way. He basically makes clear that there is no point to believing in God or anything if the resurrection did not happen. In fact, he says that we ought to just eat, drink, and die. In point of fact, it would not matter if we lived in sin if there was no way to redeem us. Clever writing, Paul.

The way Paul signs his book sounds as if he is not the actual writer, but, once again, I can't figure out who the scribe is, so I just don't care. Paul wrote the book, and I do recommend it. It's got a lot of unpopular stuff in it, but "Corinthians I" is very important and answers a lot of questions that need to be answered. Read it.
