1 Corinthians is not anti Torah

This study argues that 1 Corinthians cannot be read as anti-Torah withoutbreaking its own controls. The letter must be read under the plumbline of Isa8:20: "To the Torah and to the testimony." Any reading that turns Paul into anenemy of Yehovah's instruction falls into what Isaiah calls darkness. Paul'sconcern in 1 Corinthians is not freedom from Torah, but the correction of aswollen, flesh-driven assembly marked by faction, sexual corruption, idolatry,pride, and disorder. The covenant horizon of Deut 30:6-10, Jer 31:31-33, andEzek 36:25-27 governs the reading: the promised renewal is not Torahremoved, but Torah brought inward, obeyed, and walked out by a cleansedpeople. In 1 Corinthians Paul applies that covenant line through Passover,body holiness, commandment-keeping, Torah citation, wilderness warning,jealousy, handed-down order, and commanded worship. The anti-Torahreading is not exegesis. It is darkness dressed as interpretation.
