There is a consensus among historians and theologians that Paul is the author of the First Epistle to the Corinthians, [6] with Sosthenes as its co-author. Protestant commentator Heinrich Meyer notes that Sosthenes' inclusion in the opening wording shows that he made a greater contribution to the letter than being a "mere amanuensis".
Since 1980, scholars have debated the translation and modern relevance of New Testament texts on homosexuality. [1] Three distinct passages – Romans 1:26–27, 1 Corinthians 6:9–10, and 1 Timothy 1:9–10 – as well as Jude 1:7, have been taken to condemn same-sex intercourse, but each passage remains contested.
The Hebrew Bible/Old Testament and its traditional interpretations in Judaism and Christianity have historically affirmed and endorsed a patriarchal and heteronormative approach towards human sexuality, [5] [6] favouring exclusively penetrative vaginal intercourse between men and women within the boundaries of marriage over all other forms of human sexual activity, [5] [6] including ...

Sosthenes. Sosthenes / ˈ s ɒ s θ ə. n iː z / (Greek: Σωσθένης, Sōsthénēs, "safe in strength") was the chief ruler of the synagogue at Corinth, who, according to the Acts of the Apostles, was seized and beaten by the mob in the presence of Gallio, the Roman governor, when Gallio refused to proceed against Paul at the instigation of the Jews (Acts 18:12–17).
An important issue concerns the question of the verification of prophecies. The Scriptures command Christians to test prophecies (cf. 1 Corinthians 14:29, 1 Thessalonians 5:20). A question arises whether this would imply that a prophecy can be a mixture of both true and false elements. Most continuationists would answer positively to this question.
The believers in Troas (cf. 2 Corinthians 2:12–13) had a "meeting" on the first day of the week (verse 7; cf.
