1 | Binding and Loosing. What is it? | Matt 16:19 | Searcher56 | 46486 | ||
Scripture ... Matt 16:17-19 (vs 19), 18:15-20 (vs 18); Acts 5:1-10 (vv 3, 9) ... Scribe, greetings. Search the Scriptures, first. Look at the context and the specific verses I cited. This has been discussed before. Under Quick Search type [bind loose] and also look under Matthew 18:18. Matthew 18:18 nearly says the thing, "Truly I say to you, whatever you bind on earth shall have been bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall have been loosed in heaven." -Is it to loose spiritual powers as it were ... not that I see it. -Is it about forgiveness ... according to the context of Matthew 18:18, it is not. It deals with repentance ... which also fits with Acts 5:1-10. -Your forgiving someone does not greater chance of salvation. You do not decide who will be saved, but you may be a factor. -When a saint prays and intercedes and asks the Lord to save and deliver people they are loosing, and if they hold someone accountable for their wrong doing they are binding? ... This may be close. If they person repents they are loosed, if not, they are bound. -Is it that of saying "I bind the spirit of alcohol" and such like that I often hear, but do not see an example of in the scripture? ... No. There is no "spirit of alcohol" ... people chose to drink. Hope this helps, Searcher |

I have read the verses you posted and I am still wondering about the correct application. So far from reading the binding and loosing verses I would have to conclude that Jesus is giving the saints some sore of authority. | ||||||

Scribe, reread what I said. Does it make sense that they could bind and loose depending on if the one repented or not? Searcher | ||||||

I do not understand your question. But I see something here about a person being given over to satan for the destruction of the flesh becuase he is not willing to repent. It is a spiritual subject. I see it as a spiritual matter. Not a mere outward governmental matter of certain ecclesiastical rules and regulations but the context in Matt 16 reveals that Jesus is talking about divine revelation, or "you did not get this from man but my Father in heaven revealed it to you" and so in Matt 18 it seems as though the same subject is being dealt with which is that if you send out the unrepentant man from the midst, there are certain spiritual forces that will be allowed to affect him. It is a mystery but I think that is what I am seeing. | ||||||

... More Scripture 1 Cor 5:1-5; 2 Cor 2:1-11 ... Matthew 16 and 18 are connected. I don't see spirtiual implications, expect being kicked out of the fellowship. 1 Cor 5:1-5 shows the church being unwilling to do what they should. So Paul had to get invovled ... but, there was repentance and restoration (2 Cor 2:1-11) ... so there is a chance for a change bind - loose. Searcher |

OK that is the surface. But what about these statements.. Flesh and blood hath not revealed it to you but my Father in Heaven... That is spiritual... and then when Paul says to deliver such an one over to satan, well that statement alone opens up our minds to a whole panarama of spiritual truth about certain powers of darkness that are at work when the fallen unrepentant one goes outside of the fellowship of the church, hoping that by that means of the discipline of the havoc performed in his life as a result of having been made "exposed" to the devil that he will come to his senses and repent and be recieved back again. Of course it is spiritual and the whole reason we shun the Roman Catholic Approach to these passages is becuase we all saw how they removed the spiritual from them and applied them only to the idea of outward church government and used them as it were for all manner of abuse of civil/ecclisatical government over the private affairs of men. Now we have come along way since then and yet in some areas such as this one we still find little in the way of new understanding other than what the Catholics always said it meant. It is amazing how many commentaries still state that this passage means Jesus gave Peter the authority to rule the church in governmental decrees. | ||||||

Scribe, One last time. I speak no more. "Flesh and blood hath not revealed it to you but my Father in Heaven" (Mat 16:17) ... is spiritual, but it was to Peter's saying that He was the Christ (vs 16), not binding/loosing. When Paul says to deliver such an one over to satan (1 Cor 5:5) ... is also spiritual, but is it binding/loosing? Remember, there was repentance and restoration (2 Cor 2:5-11). The "powers of darkness" issue is mostly incorrect, inclding Mat 18:15-10. It doesn't matter what the experts say. They could be wrong. It is up to you to search the Scripture, to see if what they say is so (Act 17:11). Searcher |
