"nothing says metaphor like: "1Cr 14:37 If any man think himself to be a prophet, or spiritual, let him acknowledge that the things that I write unto you are the commandments of the Lord."
Here's another lesson in figures of speech. Can you say "non sequitur"? That is an inference that does not follow from the premises.
In chapter 14, Paul is talking about practices in the church; in chapter 12 he is describing the interconnectedness of the members of the church and illustrating it by the use of metaphor.
The problem here, is Calvinists are used to not only reading the bible but studying it carefully, not just credulously taking for granted what someone else has said.

Hey silly rabbit,
Most of us Pentecostal Armenians do the same thing good Calvinists do on that score.
LOL.
Thx.

needs little 'personal interpretation' from those looking for the meaning of scripture but needs much interpretation from those looking to project their intended meaning ON to scripture.
