Corinthians!

How does Paul answer the following questions from the Corinthians?
a. Who's the spiritual leader of our church?
--God
b. What should we do with the church member living in sin w/his stepmom?
--call a meeting of the church...then you must throw this man OUT!
c. Is it okay for church members to sue eachother?
--How dare you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter instead of taking it to other believers.
d. Can we do anything we want?
--not everything is good for you...dont you realize that your bodies are part of Christ. Should a man take his body which belongs to Christ and join it to a prostitute? NEVER
e. Should we get married or live celibate lives?
--I wish everyone were single just as I am but God gives to some the gift of marriage and to others the gift of singleness.
f. Is it okay to eat meat sacrificed to idols?
--We cant win with God's approval by what we eat...but you must be careful so that your freedom does not cause others with a weaker conscience to stumble.
g. Is it okay to turn Lord's Supper into potluck?
--you are not really interested in the Lords supper for some of you hurry to eat your own meal without sharing with others. As a result some go hungry while others get drunk.
h. Will Christians really be raised from the dead?
--If there is no resurrection of the dead then Christ has been raised either. And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is useless and our faith is useless
i. What kind of resurrection bodies will we have?
