1 - In verse 14, Some subjects, while important to you, shouldn't divide brothers in Christ; subjects like the age of the Earth, the timing of the rapture, speaking in tongues, Israel in the end times...what else?
– Some subjects should be debated in the church. Like what?
– Some subjects are so critically important that we get it straight, like the five solas. What else?
2 – In verse 15, what makes a workman approved?
3 – In verse 17, how is gangrene an appropriate metaphor for word wars in the church?
4 – In verse 18, the particular debate then was over whether the resurrection had already taken place. In what way was that true? How is it also completely untrue?
Why does it matter? What action should be taken? How is their error much like the errors of the church today? (Word of Faith implies resurrection blessings today.)
