Who was 1 Corinthians written to and what did Paul say about their spiritual maturity?
It was written to carnal believers, the most carnal congregation Paul dealt with. Paul said he could not give them strong meat because they were yet babes and carnal, so he had to feed them with milk. The same letter still contains profound resurrection doctrine.
Les teaches that 1 Corinthians was written to carnal believers, the most carnal of all the congregations Paul dealt with. Paul told them he could not give them strong meat because they were yet babes and carnal, and he had to feed them with milk. Yet Les points out that in this same letter Paul sets forth profound, deep doctrines of the whole Christian experience, especially resurrection, as seen in 1 Corinthians 15.
And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnal, even as unto babes in Christ.
