  • Dougie the Biblical Minister on 1 Corinthians 13 - 8 years ago
    What happened to "love"??? Is this chapter no longer known as the Love Chapter? Has greed overthrown "Love" to instill one's mind with the thought that nothing is more important than to give, give, give, thus somewhere, someone in their greed, boast that the greatest of faith, hope and charity is charity? The Greek word "agape" is translated all other love except Chapter 13. When one replaces the word charity with love, the chapter makes more sense. When charity is used, it sounds as if the writer has their hand out to take, take, take. is a God of Love... NOT a God of Mammon and charity implies that those receiving charity places charity above all else, which will inevitably give them more wealth mammon . Be not swayed by the Master of Deception and know it is indeed Faith, Hope and Love, the greatest of which is Love. As we study verse 3, it is plainly revealed that profit is the goal, whereas charity profits those on the receiving end with more mammon. But Love profits with more love. God is Love. One cannot serve God and mammon Matthew 6:24 . Just as one stated that charity starts at home, Love also starts at home.
