    • Reconciling the Order of the Corinthian Letters
      Reconciliation of the Corinthian Letters Dr. Jay A. Quine While based in Ephesus for three years (Acts 18:23; 19:1—20:1, 31) it appears that Paul made an unrecorded visit to Corinth (comparing Acts 20:1-2 with 2 cor 12:14, and 13:1 which makes that visit the third visit).  Paul wrote a letter now lost following this unrecorded [...]

      Is God to Blame for Evil?   Romans 12:9 If God created all things, did he create evil?  No, because evil is not a thing.  Evil depends on good to exist.  Evil is like a moth eaten hole in the cloth.  It is not the cloth, it’s a hole.  A hole is not a thing.  [...]

    • Walk in Wisdom - Make a Vow
      Making Vows to God Paul’s Vow in Acts 21:15-26 Compromise or Conviction? Dr. Jay A. Quine Paul consents to join in a vow to give the appearance of not invalidating the Law of Moses and the tradition of the elders. There are several options why he does this: 1. Paul was a hypocrite—says E.P. Sanders in his impressive work, Paul, the Law and the Jewish People […]

Remember the Cup and the New Covenant, by Quine

Posted on August 14, 2011 by Jay Quine

The “Cup” of Christ — 1 Corinthians 11

At the Passover meal a Jewish family was to remember the blessings God gave the exodus generation. One of those blessings was the law of Moses. But the prophets promised a new law would come called the new covenant. At the end of the Passover celebrated with the disciples Jesus held up a cup and said, “This cup is the new covenant by my blood.” The cup represents the new covenant. We are to remember this word when we celebrate communion together. As you hold the cup think about the new covenant. God promised the forgiveness of sins, and changing our heart of stone to a heart of flesh. Jesus has done this for us, by his death. This is Dr. Jay Quine, remember the word.
