1 Corinthians 6:12 and 10:22 — "all things are lawful" is a Corinthian slogan Paul quotes and then corrects

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 9) 01:02:19 – 01:04:21

Question from Wolpak about what Paul means by "all things are lawful" in 1 Corinthians.

Mike argues Paul is quoting a Corinthian slogan in 1 Corinthians 6:12 ("All things are lawful for me") and then responding to it: "but not all things are helpful" and "I will not be mastered by anything." The ESV places the slogan in quotes. The context connects "all things are lawful" specifically to food (v.13), suggesting Paul is referring to Mosaic dietary laws now fulfilled in Christ — not moral laws universal to all people. Mike distinguishes: moral laws from Genesis (murder, homosexual behavior) apply to all people of all time; ceremonial Mosaic laws (dietary restrictions) are what has been freed.
