Thirty years ago in April of 1992, we began Critical Issues Commentary. Issue 1 was on Binding and Loosing. I recently found a printed copy of an article on the Corinthian Error that I wrote before CIC existed. We were able to recover that article and are blessed to publish it as Issue 141. The material in this article is as pertinent over 30 years later as it was when first written. If anything, the advent of technology to instantly broadcast the false claims of the hyper-spiritual around the world accentuate the need to refute them. In 1991 only highly-funded ministries had access to such technology. This article shows that Paul's rebuke of the false teachings which infiltrated the church in Corinth has often been twisted to promote what Paul rejected! This happens when ironic statements are taken as literal. We deal with signs and wonders, visions, false wisdom, claims of hyper-piety, new revelations, the health and wealth teaching and others. This is the first time we have published this article from 1991.
