2 Corinthians--a Very Misunderstood Epistle

Many commentaries focus on Paul's defense of his ministry. Paul's main purposes have little to do with defending his ministry. The most common themes are: 1) reconciliation--between us and God, between fellow believers within the church, and between Paul and the Corinthians; 2) exhortation to ministry--Paul has been steadfast and uses his example to spur the Corinthians to look beyond their petty squabbles and reach out to the world, no matter how difficult it will be, because we have God and the rest of the world needs to be in relationship with Him. Be bold, be brave, get out of the pew!

For Unto Us a Child is Born...

 Here's a different breakdown of how to read the famous Isaiah 9.6 verse:

For a child is born unto us, a son is given unto us, and his government will rest on his shoulders, and he will be called

Wonders/Miracles

Counselor

Warrior

God

Father of Eternity

Commander/Captain/Champion of Peace 


I'm not a Hebrew scholar but I understand that there's no punctuation and I've looked at how those words are used in other similar contexts.

But this gives me several new perspectives on the Christ!!
