Per the study of what takes place with epignosis
cf. Heb. , ‘friend’). In Jewish practice a
group of friends formed for religious purposes. They often shared a common
weekly meal, usually on the eves of Sabbaths or holy days. It has been argued
that Christ and His disciples formed such a chaburah and that the Last Supper
was a (chaburah) meal. what he called them franko.
Cor 3:2-6...Ye are our epistle written in our hearts, known and read of all men:
Forasmuch as ye are manifestly declared to be the epistle of Christ ministered
by us, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in
tables of stone, but in fleshy tables of the heart. And such trust have we
through Christ to God-ward: Not that we are sufficient of ourselves to think any
thing as of ourselves; but our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the
new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but
the spirit giveth life.
2 Cor 4:1-4...Therefore seeing we
have this ministry, as we have received mercy, we faint not; But have renounced
the hidden things of dishonesty, not walking in craftiness, nor handling the
word of God deceitfully; but by manifestation of the truth commending ourselves
to every man's conscience in the sight of God. But if our gospel be hid, it is
hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds
of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who
is the image of God, should shine unto them.
"Don't ever let anyone call you `Rabbi,'
for you have only one teacher, and all of you are on the same level as brothers
and sisters. And don't address anyone here on earth as `Father,' for only God in
heaven is your spiritual Father. And don't let anyone call you `Master,' for
there is only one master, the Messiah. The greatest among you must be a servant.
" (Matthew 23:8-11, NLT)
The Corinthians were apparently separating into factions according to whom they considered was the most authoritative teacher. They were following after men, and for that reason Paul took issue with them. Further in his letter he goes on to challenge them by describing this kind of mindset as carnal and fleshly rather than spiritual:
"And I, brethren, could not speak to you as to spiritual people but as to carnal, as to babes in Christ. I fed you with milk and not with solid food; for until now you were not able to receive it, and even now you are still not able; for you are still carnal. For where there are envy, strife, and divisions among you, are you not carnal and behaving like mere men? For when one says, "I am of Paul," and another, "I am of Apollos," are you not carnal?" (1 Cor. 3:1-4)

The the fourth phase captures the
full weight of what I been speaking of , all religious truths are
doubtable. even the fundamental truths are . The existence of God no
but reason can prove his existence cheers finally , no man can
prove him by reason , The impression of God is kept up by experience . not
by logic , remember what I said 1 Corinthian 1-4 has nothing to do with reason
philosophy witch craft or us bending the truth.. The life is wholly
a revelatory God who aids that which operates by faith . faith pleases
God. The word wicc a or witch craft was used by Paul when the Galatians we
seeking to bend the truth, of grace and epignosis , back to mere human to power philosophy which blurr and muddy the waters of spirit led ..
