Who founded the Corinthian congregation?
The Corinthian congregation was founded by the Apostle Paul. In the context, Paul is identified as the founder of their congregation, with some Corinthian believers remaining true to him while others adhered to Peter or Apollos. This establishes Paul as the founder of the church at Corinth.
Les explains that within the Corinthian church there were divisions: some adhered to Peter, some to Apollos, and others remained true to the founder of their congregation, which he identifies as Paul. He notes that Peter never had a ministry among the Gentiles according to Scripture, yet these believers had an affinity for Peter. The point is that Paul founded the Corinthian congregation, and some were still true to him.
