The Raven (David Lee Corbo), who co-founded Nephilim Death Squad with Top Lobsta, is joined by Matttttt Hepner for Corinthians for Dummies Part 4, the next round of NDS's irreverent, verse-by-verse Bible study through 1 Corinthians. Part 3 closed on babes in Christ, milk not meat, and Paul's definition of carnal: envying, strife and divisions (3:1–4). This episode stays in 1 Corinthians 3 and pushes from verse 1 through the temple of God and the wisdom of this world (3:16–23).It opens with a recap of comparing spiritual things with spiritual, then why the wisdom of God still looks like foolishness to the conspiratorial "wisdom of men." Back in the text: babes in Christ and carnal defined (3:1–4), "I of Paul / I of Apollos," and the remedy — ministers are errand boys and waiters for the Lord (3:5). "I have planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the increase" (3:6–7), the parable of the sower (the seed is the word of God), and laborers together with God: you are God's husbandry and God's building (3:8–9). Along the way: Acts 18 and Paul in Corinth, "be not afraid… for I have much people in this city," milk not meat and shallow pulpits, and "special boy syndrome" vs humble servants.From 3:10–11, no other foundation can any man lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ. Then the building supplies: gold, silver, precious stones vs wood, hay and stubble; every man's work tried by fire; salvation vs heavenly rewards (3:12–15). Saved by grace through faith, rewarded by works; faith without works is dead; known by love; God's yoke is easy — pick your hard. The study closes on "know ye not that ye are the temple of God" (3:16–17), defile and destroy, the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God (3:18–20), and why only the Holy Spirit opens spiritual things — not intellectual debate or the world in church clothes.Is your labor gold and silver, or wood, hay and stubble?
