Paul's consistent pattern: he qualifies Corinthian slogans with wisdom rather than fully disagreeing

Mike shows from multiple examples that Paul never fully disagrees with Corinthian slogans.

Examples: (1) 1 Corinthians 6:12 -- 'All things are lawful for me' -- Paul agrees but qualifies: 'but not all things are helpful.' (2) 1 Corinthians 10:23 -- same phrase, same qualification pattern. (3) 'Food is meant for the stomach' -- Paul agrees but adds accountability to God. In every case, Paul is in substantial agreement with the basic idea but qualifies it with wisdom. He never flatly disagrees.
