An examination of the broader picture of dis-unity. Ever contemplate this bit of lack, as though we have somehow undermined ourselves from being led due to our constant refusal to place All (Acts 20:27) we see AND possess as correctly subsisting by Christ? We (me included) tend to have a cluster of things at best, prioritized categorizations at worst concerning protocols of life, doctrine, gifts and Church. The differentiating of gifts here is strictly of God's own choosing, though many still wish to sweep it from view. This has to do with what I perceive as treating the Apostle's sole desired determination as just a little too frivolous, ,
Wait a minute, wasn’t he the one who excelled at “surpassingly great revelations” of intricacy on decency, morals, Christian life in and outside the Church as well as prophetic utterances in his epistles? But, he wasted no time in giving God glory saying, “I worked harder than all of them--yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me."
Please note, he did not bypass v-2, so how is Paul still following his own determination of knowledge being so diverse? It appears as all under the supplying root of Christ. Like baptisms, though more than one baptism, it is still “one” (Ephesians 4:5) under Christ, thereby knowing Christ.
Is there possibly not just a bit more unity here than first perceived? For in light of 1 Cor 2:2 umbrella coverage, God has pressed everything together, aka, full Gospel. Where partitioning occures is when the spirit of 2 Tim 4:3 shows up
Apostle Paul: "I determined to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ, and Him crucified." (1 Corinthians 2:2)
