2:11 For only the human spirit knows what is truly human. So no one comprehends what is truly God’s except the spirit of God.
2:15 Those who are spiritual discern all things and they themselves are subject to no one else’s scrutiny. Unspiritual are unable to discern spiritual.
They think it is foolishness.
3:7 God gives growth.
3:17 God’s temple is holy and you are that temple.
3:21 So let no one boast about human leaders. The wise will become fools.
10:28 Do not eat it if it has been offered in sacrifice to an idol
“For why should my liberty be subject to the judgement of someone else’s conscience?”
10:31 Do everything for the glory of God… Do not seek my own advantage, but that of many, so that they may be saved.
10:26 For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until he comes.
11:28 Examine yourselves, and only then eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For all who eat and drink without discerning the body, eat and drink judgement against themselves.
13:20 As it is, there are many members, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, ‘I have no need for you’…
14:26 What should be done then, my friends? When you come together, each one has a hymn, a lesson, a revelation, a tongue, or an interpretation. Let all things be done for building up.
14:22 Paul says that tongues are for unbelievers while prophecies are for believers, but then he says that if we all speak in tongues at when we come together, the unbelievers will say that you are out of your mind, yet if we prophecy an unbeliever who enters is convinced by all and called to account by all. The person will then bow down before God.
I do not understand how it seems Paul says that tongues are for unbelievers and prophecy for believers, then says that to an unbeliever, tongues do not do much, while prophesy will make an unbeliever bow down, but he has just got finished stating prophecy is for believers. What does he mean by 14:22?
15:50 We will all be changed, in a moment, in a twinkling of an eye, at the last trumphet.
This is speaking about us being perishable, changing into imperishable.

1 Corinthians 2:11 had so much meaning this morning for me. The more we let the sprit of God come into us the more we come to see and understand things about God and the life we have in this world with and without Him.
If we go through life not knowing or experiencing the spirit of God, how can we ever answer questions or reasons about our very existence. When I try to answer those questions, without God in the pictute, I never seem to have my questions completely answered with satisfaction or conviction. I find myself searching again to find the answer.
The more we let Jesus/God in us, there is less of us. The need for us to find things to please ourselves becomes less and we find ourselves wanting to please Jesus/God and other human beings.
The more we are filled with the spirit of God, it seems to become automatic that God reveals much more of Himself thus making me see things I wouldn't have if I've never let Him in.
Sharing for His glory ... Warren
