All prophesy
Paul speaks of all prophesying in 1 Cor 14:
But if all prophesy, and an unbeliever or an uninformed person comes in, he is convinced by all, he is convicted by all. (1 Cor 14:24)
It seems common to take the idea of “all” prophesying as hyperbolic. But I recently suggested that one possible way to read this is “all worship” or especially “all worship in the vernacular.”
James Rogers suggests the same:
Paul, for example, observes that when “the whole church assembles together” and “all prophesy”—in this context “prophecy” almost certainly means “to speak God’s word” (1 Cor 14:26, cf. Heb 4:12) . . . . (Hell Shall Not Prevail, 5)
[…] I’m still mulling over the interpretive key I suggested a year ago (see also this quote from James Rogers). […]
