In my New Testament class today, we were going through 1 Corinthians. Studying it as a complete work in context reveals it as a far more interesting letter than I'd ever realized. Anyway, towards the end, we got to the whole part about the body of Christ and the ears accepting eyes and head accepting feet. The relevance of this passage is that in many cases, the poor did not have many rights of the rich, in some cases including taking communion. I could probably explain this better, but when she started talking about parts going against each other, all I could think of was Michael Scott:
DON'T CUT OFF YOUR NOSE TO SPIDERFACE
I might actually write about some thoughts on Corinth later. Very interesting book.
