I’m not going to lie…I kind of flipped for about 3 seconds when I first read this. I was like, “A MISSING PORTION OF 1ST CORINTHIANS WAS FOUND!?!?!?!?!?!?”
I’ll admit I was disappointed when I finally figured out it was a midrashic addition of sorts by the blogger. Even so, I found it rather humorous and reflective of some of the utter mundane problems our churches experience today in comparison to those experienced by the early churches.
You know what? I did the same thing! I was oh my goodness - think of all the implications - which one of the missing letters was it?~?~?~?~?!!!!!!!! What does this mean for the canon?!
Then I was like, “oh, ok, that is funny.” I just hope JR did not take it personally. hehe
Yeah, the guy who wrote that did a really good job of sounding like a biblical author in our modern translations. He’d fool nearly anyone who was reading that until you got into the "chapter."
