Danny Mahar Observation that the First Letter to the Corinthians Appears to Function 'Antithetically'

Hi Stephan,

Yes, I've noticed this especially with 1 Corinthians, profoundly enough with the material in ch.13 comprised of contrasting attributes between (what might be ) those of a demiurge and a higher god.

It's interesting to go over 1 Corinthians when affixing the header "Antithesis" over the various OT citations and allusions throughout, testing the pattern that follows the lines of, "You have heard it said (or, 'it is written'),________....but I say to you."

For it as been said,'I will destroy the Wise (1Cor.1:20)... [but I say to you] 'Where is the Wise?...'
For seeing that, in our God's wisdom, the cosmic ruler in his wisdom was incapable of even perceiving him...

(1 Cor.2:9) But as it has been said: The things which eye hath not seen, ...ear not heard, and has not arisen in the heart of man, whatsover things this god hath prepared for them...
But to us, has the Higher god revealed through his spirit...

(1 Cor.2:16) For who hath come to know the mind of [the Just One], and who should instruct him?
But we have the mind of Krestus.

(1 Cor.6:16) For it hath been said that 'the two shall become one flesh';
But [I say] he that joins himself to the Lord is one Spirit.

And so on...

Those epistles attributed to Paul (beneath and in spite the orthodox veneer) certainly appear to function "antithetically"..
