Authority And Created Order

In this fourth part of my response to Matt Slick’s article called “Genesis 2, Adam and Eve, and Authority” , I am going to deal directly with Matt’s comments regarding authority and created order. Matt writes:

Paul does quote Corinthians elsewhere in 1 Corinthians

Mike acknowledges the basis for the refutation view.

Question 2: Is Paul refuting rather than teaching? Examples of Corinthian quotations

Mike evaluates the refutation view more carefully.

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.

Smoking is not categorically sinful — it depends on frequency, addiction, and bodily harm; 1 Corinthians 6 ('I will not be mastered by anything') is the relevant test.

Q&A section: a viewer asks whether smoking is a sin.

1 Corinthians 6:19-20 is about sexual immorality in context, not primarily about diet/exercise/tobacco — but the moderation and mastery principles within the passage do apply broadly

Sexual sin is uniquely grave — it is a sin against one's own body in a way other sins are not

Does intercourse constitute marriage? — No; vows before witnesses and God define marriage

Mike reads an email asking whether sleeping with someone makes you married.

Believers as the temple — the astonishing access to God available through Christ

Continuation of Q7; reflection on prayer and access to God

1 Corinthians 6:19 prayer temple indwelling Holy Spirit
Mike Winger idea 2020-06-03

Can a Christian be demon-possessed? Mike distinguishes possession from influence/oppression. Christians have the Holy Spirit indwelling them — demon possession (ownership/control) seems incompatible with the Spirit's presence. But Christians can be oppressed, influenced, and harassed by demons. The demoniac in Mark 5 was fully controlled; Christians may experience lesser forms of spiritual attack but not total possession.
