The Life And Issues Of The Corinthian Community Religion Essay

The Life And Issues Of The Corinthian Community Religion Essay Paul wrote to Corinth, a community plagued by internal divisions, social and ethnic distinction, and a diversity of congregations. Regardless of whatever the circumstances may be, the apostle confronts the problematic issues boldly and with authority. Nevertheless, controversy still burns brightly today, on these issues just as they did in the early church, rendering it ideal subject matter for theological and hermeneutical consideration. Accordingly, the purpose of this essay is to reconstruct the life and issues of the fledgling Corinthian church and to determine firstly, whether Paul really understood the issues at hand, and secondly the effective of Pauls response in the Corinthian community to his call at the time. This essay will address the life and issues of the Corinthian community as recorded in the book of I Corinthians. This book narrates how the apostle Paul heard of the Corinthian Christian communitys troubles and responded with this letter to remedy their situation, heal their divisions, and answer their questions. Paul confronted them with their sin and need for corrective action and clear commitment to Christ. The stance taken here is that Paul did understand the life and issues of the Corinthian community and the effectiveness of his response was positive and appropriate for the time. The reconstruction of the life and issues of Corinth are assessed here through the three major problems facing the community, and one specific issue for each of those problems. The three major problems facing the church in Corinth related to the church, the members and the authority. Of the numerous issues within these three groupings the specific issues addressed here are the Lords Supper, marriage and women. Corinthian church was founded by Saint Paul approximately twenty years after the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The apostle loved the Corinthian community with fervour and frustration for it was a vibrant and confused church. An extensive description of its establishment is recorded in Acts 18. Moreover, two of the longest letters in the New Testament, 1 and 2 Corinthian, are specifically addressed to it.  [1]   The first epistle written to the Corinthians was penned by Paul from Ephesus in reply to reports brought to him by two emissaries, and possibly Apollos (16:12). The arrangement of the letter indicates a response determined by the issues put to Paul (7:1). The correspondences content is acquired via the subject matter being introduced through a formula (peri de), latter repeated in (7:25; 8:1; 12:1; 16:1; 12). Notably, Paul wrote 1 Corinthians to address exceptional issues, rather than to demonstrate common principles, or to give an expose of Christian practice.  [2]   Neyrey states: By his own admission, Paul thought and behaved like a typical, first-century Jew in the Eastern Mediterranean (Phil. 3:4b-6). à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦ Paul was clearly socialized into a Jewish and Pharisaic world. On the micro level, his cosmos consisted of biblical, temple, and pharisaic tradition. On the macro level, Paul shared with other first-century Mediterranean Jews certain cultural perceptions about the cosmos, a symbolic universe (Berger Luckmann1966). These perceptions inform all of his letters, colour the way he experienced reality, and structure the way he behaved. Those who would understand Paul ought also to share his perception, both on the micro and macro level.  [3]   There were various issues related to the community in Corinth. The three main problem areas were: a) the church, b) the members and c) authority. Problems within the church were notably related to mission, baptism, the Lords Supper, body life, love, worship and prophecy. Problems with members related to intellect, freedom, giving, sex, suffering and death. Problems with authority related to leaders, women and apostles.  [4]  Of these aforementioned problems and issues three are dealt with here. They are problems relating to the life and issues of the Corinthian Christian community at the time relative to (1) the Lords Supper, (2) sexual morality and (3) the role of women. (1) Problems within the church notably the Lords Supper. (1 Cor. 11:17-34) Paul had heard of scandalous behaviour in the Corinthian community worship relative to the Eucharist. The purpose of the Eucharistic gathering was to take part in the Lords Supper, as enacted by Jesus with the disciples. Regrettably, some of the Corinthian Christians were behaving in a way which denigrated the significance of the event.  [5]   This was as a result of class feelings and distinctions manifesting in the community (cf. James 2:1-4) with private cliques and affluent individuals initiating proceedings without waiting for others to eat. Gluttony, unsociable behaviour and drunkenness were becoming a familiar occurrence. To rebut this Paul reminds them that such conduct makes the professed reason for their joining in communion invalid and pointless.  [6]  Their actions constituted a contradiction to Church meaning and jeopardised the welfare of all. As such, Paul clearly perceived and understood this issue in the Corinthian community at the time. Furthermore, the intention of the Lords Supper was as a common meal, and Pauls condemnation relates to the Corinthians contradicting this principle (11:20-21). Thus, the Christians of Corinth would be better served by eating in their own homes rather than feigning a pretentious a unity repudiated by their behaviour. Pauls intention is not to censure gluttony and drunkenness, but to emphasize an egocentric apathy which is the antithesis of love.  [7]   Pauls denunciation is explicit as the Corinthians behaviour held communion in contempt (v.22) and could not being allowed to persist. Pauls remedial approach is by way of an explanation of the Eucharist. Paul showed how love is necessary for the Eucharist to have meaning and this love commences in their personal community relationships with one another, particularly the poor.  [8]   Relevant to this point, Murphy OConner notes that: The unity for the church is something more than physical juxtaposition in a determined space. It is a vital sharing of life and the Corinthians cannot deceive themselves that they enjoy this if the physical life of the poor is endangered because they do not have enough to eat.  [9]   (2) Problems with members notably sex. Pauls severe reprimand on sexual immorality defiling the church is presented in (5:1-6). From the start the Christian stance to the widespread unseemly Corinthian sexual practices and thought was one of uncompromising opposition, for sexual negligence was endemic with first-century Greeks. However, the Corinthians view of their emancipation in Christ was such that they felt inclined towards a different approach to other Christians, yet this was one which permitted even worse evils than the Greeks.  [10]   Paul condemns such sexual sin in the strongest of terms (6:9-20) because the troubles in the Corinthian church were basically related to sexual conduct.  [11]  Moreover, prostitution and immorality were invasive with marriages in Corinth in a dilemma and Christians unsure how to respond. Accordingly, Paul gave meaningful and practical solutions.  [12]   Pauls instruction can be separated into heterosexual and homosexual activity outside of marriage. Paul refuted the argument assuming that as Christians were not bound by food laws then the same applied to sexual laws (6:13). Pauls unyielding and persuasive argument said that it is fundamentally impossible to compare the two, as in Christian terms the word body means much more than animal tissue. Paul maintained that body is the self and he marshalled numerous arguments to sustain this position.  [13]   Pauls argument is bases on six facts: (a) that our body matters to God (1:63), (b) our body will be raised (6:14), (c) our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit (6:19), (d) our body is harmed by immorality(6:18), (e) fornication for a Christian is a rebellious act of independence, and most importantly (f) that our body belongs to Christ (6:19-20). Paul concludes by counselling to shun immorality (6:18) and emphasising that the body is for the Lord and should be kept that way, with this possibility only accessible through the power of the Holy Spirit.  [14]   Relative to homosexuality, Paul gives scant attention to the issue however he makes the point that it is basically unacceptable for Christian practice (6:9-11) and that it can be changed (6:9-11). His premise is that homosexuality is immoral and an unattainable avenue to Heaven. Paul refers to Genesis and the image of God residing mutually in the male and female (Gen.1:27).  [15]   (3) Problems relating to authority and women. Paul is considered by many to be a misogynist (a man who hates women). Nevertheless, Pauls overall attitude to women was reflective of the time and culture. However, Jesus teachings were revolutionary relative to the role and rights of women, and Paul embraced this new perception afforded to women.  [16]   The situation of women in Corinthian society indicates that women were held in low esteem in Hebrew, Greek and Roman culture. A womens authority was severely limited in that she was subject to the authority of her father or husband, could not inherit property, could not testify in a court of law, or claim right to education. Moreover, the temple of Aphrodite, the goddess of love, prostituted a thousand women in its service further demeaning their social status. Such was the state of affairs of women in Corinth at that time and the problem faced by Saint Paul.  [17]   Conversely, Christianity engaged women in church and community work, women such as Mary, Tryphaena and Tryphosa who worked hard in the Lord (Rom.16:12). They are found labouring with Paul in spreading the gospel (Phil.4:3) and supporting in various ways. For women both to pray and prophecy during public worship (1 Cor.11:5) was acceptable by Paul, despite being a contradiction to the customs of the time.  [18]   The fact that Paul was clear on the position of women in the church and that they were equal with all others is clarified in Galatians (3:28). For Paul men and women had complete equality of standing before God (1 Cor. 11:11). Unquestionably, the revolutionary teaching of Jesus had systematically permeated into the heart of Paul, the rabbi and apostle of Jesus. However, an issue on which Paul disagreed with women was regarding womens headdress (11:5). By dispensing with the customary covering for their heads many of women within the Corinthian church were defying tradition. It appears they viewed their action as having religious importance as the particular circumstance on which they chose to exhibit their uncovered heads was at worship. Their unconventional behaviour was obviously an expression of a new found freedom related to the Christian faith.  [19]   Undoubtedly, this was an assertion of feminine freedom found within the context of the new faith. To these women the covered head was symbolical of their subordination to men, and ceased to be acknowledged by them under conditions of worship. Paul differed with them on this point of headdress despite acknowledging womens right to speak in church under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. This Paul ruled as an exception to the silence he otherwise imposed on them (ch.14:34), nevertheless he considered it did not excuse them from covering their heads.  [20]   Having considered problems within the church relating to the Lords Supper, sex and women there is, however, a further dynamic for reflection when appreciating the circumstances that occasioned I Corinthians. That dynamic is a developing conflict between the church in Corinth and Paul himself. Watson notes Gordon Fees observation that the language and style of I Corinthians are especially rhetorical and combative. Paul is taking them on at every turn à ¢Ã¢â€š ¬Ã‚ ¦ he is attacking and challenging with all the weapons in his literary arsenal.  [21]   While Paul is undoubtedly seeking to right both their theology and practices in a comprehensive way, it is clear that Paul needs to defend his apostolate. Moreover, the fact remains that the Corinthians had written to the apostle seeking his advice. This proves that he remains an authority figure in their eyes, understanding and appreciating their lives and issues. Hermeneutically, Corinth reflects realistically on our contemporary Christian community situation. The problems and issues addressed by St.Paul are still relevant to society and the church today. The text offers a splendid observation of Paul the church cultivator and pastor utilizing his theology for the service of the church. Green notes: The spread of abuses and problems at Corinth enable us to share the apostles perspective on a large number of issues of contemporary importance to the church. The whole correspondence throbs with life and love. However, there are difficulties associated with Corinthians that keep it a closed book to most church members today. The Corinthian issues are considered too awkward to tackle, such as tongues, prophecy and veiled women.  [22]   Naturally, this appraisal would be stalled at the outset if Pauls solutions to these problems relate simply to antiquated issues, For example, if First Corinthians rests on the necessity of the Lords Supper, sexual practices or the wearing veils to worship then the ethical instruction of Paul may well be relegated to archaic morality. Fortunately, however, the ethic of Paul is a protest against that very kind of literalistic and legalistic teaching. His concern with the practical should not be construed as a banal particularise. Rather, the concern with particulars rests on the conviction that basic ethical concerns are relevant o every aspect of human conduct.  [23]   Providentially, however, Pauls ethic is an objection to such literalistic and legalistic teaching. His concern with the practical should not be negatively construed but rather his concern with facts supports his conviction that fundamental ethical issues are pertinent to all facets of human behaviour. Pauls analysis and response to these commonplace issues offer theological considerations of merit. Repeatedly throughout First Corinthians Paul commences with a common concern, probes its depth for theological understanding, and applies theological principles for the practical application Christian life.  [24]   Pauls theological ethic can only be fully understood in relation to its application and relevance. First Corinthians may be applied as here as a fundamental source for investigation because the tension between the practical and theological are constantly sustain. Here the Christocentric character of Pauls thought is clearly expressed with Pauls answers founded on the rock of Christ. In conclusion it has been seen how Paul confronted the Corinthians Christians regarding their sins and shortcomings, exhorting them not to merge with the world or accept its false values and erroneous lifestyles. The root causes of these errors may be seen in an assimilation of the gospel to Hellenism however a more plausible reason is the human inclination to reshape God in our own image. Paul was well aware of what and why he was doing it when he wrote to the church of God at Corinth (1:2). The apostles purpose in writing to the Corinthians is clearly reproving. Paul wants them to know that he is concerned with the assembly and tells them what they should and not do in explicit terms. In addressing the issues relating to the Lords Supper, marriage and women (as with the other issues) Paul exhibits a clear understanding of the facts. This is received through the reliability of the sources and Pauls own background and worldly experiences. His adroit and forthright response addresss the situation squarely and accurately warranting an effective outcome. Paul makes it clear that his actions have no self advantage but that his writing is a command of the Lord (14:37). Pauls letter to the Corinthians offers the contemporary reader a window into a real and struggling early Christian community that challenged the Corinthians to allow the gospel to engage them in the reality of their daily lives. Likewise, the contemporary reader is challenged to allow the gospel message to engage them in the very realities of daily life and to celebrate their oneness in Christ when the church gathers for Eucharist and spiritual communication.

“Art in Action: Dance Series” Reflection Paper Essay

Last February 16, we were required to watch Art in Action: Dance Series which features the Brazilian School of Capoeira (EBC). The program contains lectures and actual performances by students from the university and guest artists. Some of the lectures given were the following; Introduction to music, benefits of music to the artist and audience, elements of music and intoduction of different filipino ethnic instruments. The program also featured different kinds of dances like ; Philippine Northern Dances, Mindanao Dances, Classical Ballet, Swing, Modern Dances, Streetdance and Capoiera. Even though a lot of types were mentioned, I saw that the program focused mostly on dances from our country. The program still focused on how vibrant our culture is and how it changed over time. Honestly, my perception of philippine dances changed after watching this show because I saw how beautiful and creative those dances were. This program really made me appreciate more our culture. I’m now confident in saying that I learned a lot from this program, not just from our culture but also about dance as general. I learned that dance is really a form of art because it also requires creative skills which are also needed when painting or in arts and crafts. However, the highlight of the show were the featured guests from The Brazilian School of Capoeira (EBC). Members of EBC performed and they surely left the audience in awe. They were kind enough to give a â€Å"free class† when they asked volunteers from the audience to come and join them onstage. All in all, the show was very fun and educational. I learned a lot of things about dance which changed the way I saw dance before. I really recommend that everyone should watch them perform. It’s worth watching and everyone will surely have a good time.

Macroeconomic Stabilisation Theory and Policy

The level of economic stability in any economy depends on both macro and microeconomic variables. Within the scope of the macroeconomic tools various, markets are deemed to be influential. These include the money market, the goods/commodity market, the labour market, capital and also foreign market. For stabilisation purpose, all the markets should be at equilibrium both in the supply and demand sides. The labour market remains a fundamental market that models the nature and status  Ã‚   of economic stability. Labour market is the general portfolio within the market which figures the broad scope of the demand and the supply of labour. Within the economy, labour interacts with the firms to provide the relevant implication to each other. Labour within the economy is provided by the households. It is paid in terms of wages and other remunerations. Either, the firms produces consumption goods and also services for use by the household. Consequently, stability in the labour market provides a stake in defining the levels of economic functionality. This is basically through shaping the nature and scope of unemployment which is a macroeconomic variable. Unemployment is also determined by the existing levels of equilibrium between labour demand and supply. Economically, the aggregate labour market is cleared at the economic disposition when the level of labour demand and supply are deemed equal.   Broadly, the aspect of the demand and the supply of labour for such market clearing are defined in terms of the market level of wages. Wage is the price levied for the supply and demand of labour. From the two sides, the household is deemed to be the supplying component of the labour service while the firms are the demand function of labour. The aspect of market clearing therefore tries to establish the most functional level of wage rate which makes both the demand and supply of labour equal within the labour market. Therefore, the household and firms seldom rely on the levels of the market wage rate as benchmarks for support with which the labour substitution can be made. (Ron, Philip, 2002, p.90) The basic concept is however the determination of the most adequate levels of market wage rates which creates market clearing. For stability purpose, the level of labour supply and labour demand should always be at equilibrium. This wage rate is called market clearing wage   rate which is used by the hidden   hand of the market for clearing   the excess levels and also deficits in the demand and supply of labour. Market clearing in labour market is described by the concept of the basic economic law of the labour demand and supply.   This law states that, with all other factors being at a constant, the increase in wage rate leads to an increase in labour supply by the household in the short run. However, a decrease in wage rate brings a  Ã‚   disincentive for labour supply by the household which ultimately leads to lower levels of labour supply. The feasibility in the levels of labour supply and demand is fundamental in relating the existing relationship between employment and unemployment as a key factor in defining the stability scope of the economy. A low level of unemployment is important in describing the level with which the economy stabilises. Generally, the market clearing intercept in the labour market is provided by the equilibrium functionality between the labour supply and the demand. This is to mean that, the exact level of labour force supplied by the household is exactly equal with what is needed by the firms   within the economy. The functional aspect of wages determines the basic scope with which efficiency can be explained in the labour market. The basic levels of inequality between the supply and demand of such labour is what brings the idea of inefficiencies allied to unemployment. (Michael, 2002, p. 103) Economically in the commodity market, firms are the suppliers of services and goods to the household (consumers). However, in the labour market, these firms seldom becomes the consumers of the labour force. The need for labour force by the firms is for   making various   scope of products. The demand for labour in the different firm functions is dependent on the level of wages in the labour market. The clearing state for labour is determined by the related cost of the same which determines the related level of supply and demand. Consequently, the cost of labour in the market is what yields market wage rate. The level of supply and demand for labour is therefore a function of the wage rate. The desire by the firms in purchasing labour at the existing levels of market wage rates goes up to the point where both the wage rate and the marginal revenue product are equal. The marginal revenue product of labour would thus signify the level with which an additional unit of labour would generate to the firm’s revenue. Equilibrium levels in the labour market is what provides the market labour clearance. The equilibrium level of market labour is arrived  Ã‚   at when the aggregate levels of both demand and supply are equal. Generally, aggregate labour supply denotes the sum total of all the labour supplying units/ personnel in the market. Elsewhere, aggregate demand is what is captured by the sum total of all labour demand units by the firms in the market. For equilibrium, both the levels in supply and demand should equate one another. Equilibrium is denoted by the interception capacity of the labour demand and supply curves. (Gilles, 2000, p.87) The clearing tool in the labour market is operational within two scopes. The market could be unrestricted where the supply and demand levels are freely volatile to be determined by the basic circumstances in the market. Elsewhere, the market could be restricted to certain level of wage rate which therefore helps to control the wage rate from going below or above the specific levels of wage rate. The unrestricted market function implies that the level of market wage rate is determined by the scope of labour supply and labour demand. This is through the use of the basic law of demand and supply of labour by household and firms. When the wage rate is high, the level of labour supply is also high. However, when the wage rate is low, the supply of the wages is also low. With wages being restricted, the labour supply and demand is restricted by both wage ceilings and wage floors. Wage ceiling implies the highest level of wages which should not be surpassed above (it is made to protect the firms from   exploitation by the labour suppliers). Elsewhere, price floor is the lowest level of wage rate which should not be paid below it.   This is made to protect the labour suppliers from the basic exploitation by the firms through very low wage set up. The stability in the labour market plays an important role in the general commodity market, where the supply and demand for goods is depended on the price level within the market. (Andres, 1988, p.78) Generally, the level of consumption (both goods and services within the market is determined by the level of the income held by the households). Ideally, the same income is gotten through the sale of their labour services to the firms. Either, the supply of such goods and services by the firms is determined by many factors   which include the level   of labour   which is a basic   factor of production. Consequently, equilibrium in the labour market is a passive tool for providing   support   for a strongly functional   commodity market.   Through the sale of their labour services, the households get money which they use in purchasing their consumption requirements from the firms. Elsewhere, firms use the labour force from the workers to produce goods and services for use by the households. Therefore, the equilibrium state between the aggregate labour demand and aggregate labour supply is arrived at, at the point of intersection between both curves. Such an intersection point is important in claiming the level of the equilibrium level of wage rate as well as determining the level of economic state of employment. Within the competitive market   (unrestricted), the profitability level of the firms is determined by the level with which such firms hires labour until it reaches the level of equality between marginal cost of labour and marginal revenue product   of labour . (Ben, 1998, p.46) Conventionally therefore, market   clearing in the labour   markets is achieved by the   condition when   the level   of quantity demanded is equal to the quantity supplied. This is important in safeguarding against any form of shortages or even surplus quantities in the market. The stability status of the labour market provides an adequate status for safeguarding the level and implication of the rates of unemployment   in the economy. Generally, macroeconomic conception dictates that high labour supply than its demand produces labour surplus in the labour market. This is a basic indication towards a higher rate of unemployment within the economy. Elsewhere, high demand for labour than its supply causes labour deficits. This substantially causes an increasingly high level of unemployment. Altogether, a stable state between both labour demand and   supply   remains   fundamental   indication   in furnishing   the basic threshold   that determines   the scope of   unemployment . As a broad   macroeconomic variable, the speculation towards   reducing   the general   impact   in unemployment also captures stability   in other operating p[parameters between   the labour market. Generally therefore, stability in the   labour market provides   a ground work condition for its market clearing where the general demand supply are adequately at equilibrium. As a rule for such market clearing its fundamentals are basically projected by the capacity with which the market demand and supply of labour   would fundamentally yield substantially a stable position which limits the impacts of a high levels   of unemployment in the market. (Frank, 2006, pp.84) The support for market clearing in labour   market is expanded by the   Keynesian neoclassical model on a labour . He proposed that equality between aggregate supply and aggregate demand for labour would act to provide a groundwork favourable environment towards low states of unemployment. At the equilibrium level is the equilibrium amount of wage rate which helps to provide a high standard for rationality in reducing the level of unemployment. The equilibrium level of wage rate acts as a supportive tool for the implementation protocol where the level of supply is deemed rationally compatible with the theoretical wage levels. Elsewhere, the levels of demand would also be equal to the level of wages. As a rule therefore, the level of equilibrium within the labour market plays a fundamental attribute in a rationalising for a stable state of commodity market. (Frank, 2006, pp.98)   Also, since the labour market is one of the economic markets, its stability also provides a condition for a   strong defence towards a stable   state   of economy   where labour deficits   and surpluses would not be available hence a strong sense in the economic stability. Generally therefore, the basic concept behind labour market clearing is the basic threshold with which the level of quantities of labour supplied is equal with what is demanded. This provides a substantial position for strengthening the level of economic stability within the general economy. As an important macroeconomic tool, a stable state of employment within the economy is provided by the degree of compatibility between the labour market. High levels of unemployment cause instability in other facets of economic growth where low levels of consumption is deemed the basic implication of high unemployment. Therefore, great importance should be attached in the state of the relationship between the demand and supply of labour for a greater scope of economic functionality. Bibliography Andres, D.

An Objective Study Of Food And Nutrition Essay - 871 Words

BACKGROUND The objective study of food and nutrition has been extensively studied over the past 100 years, and nutritional science has made great leaps. One controversial and relevant topic within nutritional science, as well as food science in 2016 is the difference between organic and conventional food. While it has been documented that organic foods may have greater micronutrient content, the macronutrient and caloric value is generally the same between organic and conational food products. (1) That is to say that an organically grown apple without the use of antibiotics and pesticides, herbicides, etc. will be more dense in micronutrients than a convectional apple grown with the addition all of the above mentioned substances. However the macronutrient and caloric value for the two apples will be roughly the same. (1) Additionally, a meta analysis conducted by Samuel Bonti-Ankomah and Emanuel K Yiridoe showed that globally people prefer food that is locally grown as opposed to shipped in fro m other countries. (5) While it is easy to make the argument that organically grown produce and free range/pasture raised appropriately fed and treated animal products are superior for health and the environment, the subjective qualities of a meal prepared with organic versus convectional food has been very under studied. Indeed, many farmers, chefs, foodies, and food experts will make the claim that food raised and produced with more â€Å"care† lead to a better overall dining experience,Show MoreRelatedMaster Of Nutrition Science Program1540 Words   |  7 PagesMaster of Nutrition Science Program Program Faculty Kathy Prelack, Ph.
