Ohio, I can’t respond to something I don’t understand. What is out of context? Unbelieving ( and apparently some believing Corinthians) had many gods and many lords. Paul says to us there is but one God, the Father, and one Lord, Jesus Christ. Paul continuously preaches and teaches that God made Jesus Lord. This shouldn’t be a mystery or a point of contention, but should be our profession.
I realize there is a problem accepting that both Paul and Jesus tell us there is only one true God, the Father. It’s not what is professed in Christiandom today. I don’t hear you, or others talking in terms of “the God of our Lord Jesus. That should also be our vocabulary.
What am I taking out of context?
1Cor 8 4Concerning therefore the eating of things sacrificed to idols, we know that no idol is anything in the world, and that there is no God but one. 5For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or on earth; as there are gods many, and lords many; 6yet to us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we unto him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and we through him.
