Greek 'meros'
Posted: October 16th, 2013, 8:03 am
This is not an assignment question but a personal study question.
My work with Indigenous Peoples has led me to dissect 1 Cor 13:12. I am working through an understanding of the Greek word 'meros' in this passage. I see a reference to 'a part assigned' (Strong's). Am I stretching things to suggest that we are only assigned a part of God's full truth, this side of eternity. If so, could this be extrapolated to suggest that perhaps God has 'assigned a part' to different cultures and as we 'partner' inter-culturally, we share and learn a fuller truth.
Any input appreciated. Thanks
