Much of Scripture refers to the corruption of God's people. 1 Corinthians 15:33 reflects the feelings of the 14 century Latin proverb "a rotten apple spoils the barrel. "What a rotten apple spoils the barrel? Due to the spread of fungi or other diseases of the rotten apple to another. Mold and other forms of propagation of the decay of proximity and contact. What good apples can do to stop the spread of mold and decay? Nothing. Your only recourse is to avoid proximity. Paul's argument here is that sin and the manifestations of sin are contagious and Christians need to avoid sin.

But more than that, he claimed he had been duped, they were in the middle of deceit and deception at the heart of worldly wisdom. Paul argues for fifteen chapters that the main enemy of the gospel is the wisdom of the world and its many disappointments. Here Paul says that spending time with people who have been deceived by the world's wisdom works to corrode the Gospel, especially among new and / or immature Christians. At least, trafficking with those who were deceived by the wisdom of the world must be minimized to the saints. It is, of course, is not what happens in most churches today.

Christians should be in the world but not of it. Christians should not abandon the world. They rather serve as a leaven of God in the world. We prepare the world and its culture, we should not be made for him. This is called a high rank and difficult to hoe.

In 1 Corinthians 3:34 p.m. Paul turned to punishment as a method Education: Wake up from his wine, but sin and realize that some of its cherished leaders of the church does not know God! It does not regenerate. That is the question. It's always the problem. Exasperated, Paul concluded, "I say to you Shame. "

Paul also uses shame as a tool for construction. The fact that Paul used shame as a teaching tool speaks volumes about the churches and contemporary understanding of the powerless gospel of Jesus Christ. The gospel that Paul taught using shame as a method of construction - Not always but sometimes. Shame is a concept essential because it is unique to humanity. Even people I know.

It was Mark Twain who said: "Man is the only animal that blushes. Or need. "Jeremiah noted that people lost have lost the ability to feel shame." "Are they ashamed when they committed abomination? No, not at all ashamed, could not to blush. Therefore they shall fall among them that fall, while the sentence to be destroyed, "says the Lord" (Jeremiah 6:15). A sense of shame is essential to healthy life of the faithful gospel.

A psychotherapist in Berkeley, California, understands the value of shame. I'm not saying that psychotherapy is a way to cope with the shame. Psychotherapy is insufficient for the task. I mention this only because it indicates some of the truths of the shame of a person who does not seem to be a Christian.

The psychotherapist said that one of the most striking contradictions that had been found that the therapist is the difference between the importance the affect of shame in humans, and lack of attention that the shame was in the study and practice of psychology. In their own training, taught him to serve a wide range of feelings: anger, fear, sexuality, emotion, sadness, but rarely, shame. Recognizes that shame is to avoid the real world too. In fact, most people feel shame shame. Because of the shame is rarely recognized in others, or yourself. He gave much attention to the shame is working with its customers and was surprised to see how important to keep this feeling is the practice of psychotherapy. As with any feeling of shame when refused reappear only create more pain and chaos.

The shame is often unbearable. For example, humiliation and mortification, as part of the "family from the shame of feeling" can be so painful that can lead to violence or suicide. Shame can be thought to be worthless, unlovable, incorrigible, or cutting of humanity. Others may evoke painful feelings, the anger in which they feel shame or fear that abandoned, broken or crushed by despair.

Silvan Tomkins (In Nathanson, 1992) said: "If the concern is the effect of suffering, shame is the effect of indignity, of transgression and of alienation. "

In fact, shame is at the heart of sin and salvation, forgiveness and redemption. Is inevitable. Paul thought it was downright shame that some of the Corinthians do not know God, they could not flush in the face of his own sin.

Paul argues that people who do not believe not in the resurrection do not think they have not undergone regeneration. And apart from the knowledge of God is regeneration gum purely Abstract beat. This is not personal, not real. Then he said he had "no knowledge of God" (1 Corinthians 15:34). Interestingly, no negative in Greek. The Greek literally means "having the knowledge of God" (literal translation of Young). It's not that they lack knowledge, but they are now in the dark. This is an important distinction in light of Romans.

Paul had not ashamed. The Gospel had treated her shame. Paul explained how it works in Romans 1:16-22. Find a Bible and read it. Paul is talking about you?
