Who were the Jewish members of the Corinthian assembly?
The Jewish members of the Corinthian assembly were Jews whom God had opened their hearts and eyes to the gospel of grace. They had come out of Judaism and were believers in the Corinthian assembly, yet they remained Jews. Some were still clinging to Peter, indicating their Jewish background.
Les explains that the Corinthian church included converted Jews. God had opened their heart and eyes to the gospel of grace, and they had come out of Judaism to become members of the Corinthian assembly. They were believers, but still Jews. Some in the assembly were still hanging on to Peter, which reveals their Jewish background. Les contrasts this with Paul, whose revelations of grace created a block between him and the Jewish people, who thought he was nuts.
