I have told you before that your posts reek of intellectualism . You never meditate on anything long enough to see whats actually being said you before you start debating over hypothetical minutiae while intejecting your own biases
For starters at no point did I say Paul
MADE anybody contribute anything . What was clear was that with the Corinthians in 1 Corinthians he went out of his way to make sure he downplayed his rights to these things. With the Philippians on the other hand he encourages their partnership and reminds them emphatically of the rewards for it. That is what meant by he
"exercised his rights" but in your typical borderline legalistic intellectualism you automatically assumed that I was saying that he forced them. Hence putting words in my mouth or should I say my fingers
In 2 conrinthians his disposition is very different towards the Corinthians. He tells them :
The point being that once they were Well established in the foundational things they should also become Excellent Practicipants in the Grace of Giving and then goes on to say that he wasn't commanding them as in compulsion but wants to use it as a measure of genuity relative to other churches .. He also Furhther noted that only a year ago they had started to give with a DESIRE to do so and he tells them it
benefits them
So again you can see that a distinction is been made between them and
OTHER CHURCHES and there is an emphasis on non compulsion and willinngess . In essence he was now talking to them like he did the Philippians
