1 Corinthians 10:
Even the old Israelites were
baptized in Moses under the clouds and in the dead sea. They also ate
spiritual food in the dessert and drank water from a spiritual rock, which
was Christ. Yet, many got wasted in the dessert because God was not pleased
with them. Many were idolaters, committed sexual sins that let to 23,000
deaths, others were bitten by snakes, while some were struck down by an angel.
So Jewish faith in the law is meaningless. We must stand strong on Christ.
God is faithful; no temptation is new to man and God will help us overcome
temptation. Many take from one loaf and drink from one cup (Holy Communion
in Christ). Food and drink done on alters are for demons. We cannot
serve God and demons at the same time. We can do whatever, but not
everything is meaningful. Eat whatever is legitimately food to you because
it all come from God, but if it comes from a sacrifice, then do not eat because
of observers' conscience. Do things to the glory of God, but do not let
others stumble because of your freedom.

1 Corinthians 11:
The head of Jesus Christ is
God, while Christ is the head of man and man the head of woman. A man that
prays or prophesizes with his head covered dishonors his head, while the woman
who does same with her head uncovered dishonors her head (like being shaved).
A man is the glory of God and a woman the glory of the man. So God demands
that women are to marry and represent their husband, while husbands are to
represent Christ to their family. Woman came out of man to serve man, while man
was created for God to serve God. A woman's covering of her head with a
hat is actually her husband covering her spiritually. Everything came from
God and we are all inter-dependent. Long hair is a disgrace to a man, but
glory to a woman. This is God's word and only teaching about how a home and
community should be structured. Holy Communion is for all equally and
should be conducted with honor. We are to judge ourselves before taking
Jesus' body and blood in honor for communion. Communion is actually a
meal in the Bible, and not just one tiny bread with tiny cup of grape juice.
1 Corinthians 12:
There are many types of
spiritual gifts from the same God and by the same Spirit of God. Some of
them are wisdom, knowledge, faith, healing, powers, prophecy, distinguishing
spirits, speaking in tongues, and interpreting tongues. All these
spiritual gifts is from God's Spirit and God gives it to whomever and whenever.
We are many parts in one body of Christ and are inter-dependent. What
affect one part of the body affect the whole body. We should earnestly
desire one of these gifts.
