1Cor 14:37 | MHM | STEP | v. 37 : Paul tells them that his instructions are the command of the Lord . He says, “If anyone thinks he is a prophet or spiritual, let him acknowledge that what I am writing to you is a command of the Lord” (1 Corinthians 14:37 ). If someone claims to be inspired by the Spirit but disagrees with Paul’s teaching, that person is not truly inspired. The Spirit of Christ does not contradict itself. If someone refuses to accept Paul’s authority, they must be left in their ignorance. God allows those who reject clear truth to remain blind to it.
