1 Coríntios 8

1 Coríntios 8

Morris - The Gentile Christians to whom Paul was writing had, before their conversion, worshiped many "gods" in heaven and "lords" on earth. These were really just personified forces of nature, but the whole system was actually energized by demonic spirits. It was difficult for new Christians to free their minds from the power these demonic spirits had exerted over them. It is just as difficult for new Christians today to free their thinking of the similar evolutionary presuppositions with which they have been indoctrinated. 1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom are all things and we exist for Him; and one Lord, Jesus Christ, by Whom are all things, and we exist through Him.

PAUL AFFIRMS THE MONOTHEISTIC CREATOR Yet - (alla) - Strong term of contrast between many so called gods and lords and now one true God and one true Lord. Kistemaker - The Gentiles placed their gods in either heaven, earth, or sea. But our God, says Paul, is one God who is not confined to one location but is everywhere (compare Ps. 139:7–10+). For us there is but one God (theos) the Father (pater) from Whom are all things and we exist for Him - Paul repeats what he had said in v4 - "that there is no God but one." Us refers to himself and those who had the knowledge without love. Here Paul teaches monotheism and that the Father is the originator of all things .(Amplified = "the Source of all things"). All things means the totality of things without any exclusion! Believers now live for Him. Our purpose for existence is for God! And we can call God Father in contrast to the pagan gods. Note that the two uses of exist are added by the translators and are not in the original Greek text. Literally we for Him and through Him
