2 | Casting into satans hands to be saved | 1 Cor 5:5 | BradK | 118956 | ||
Singing For Him, Welcome to the Forum. I believe your question is in regard to 1 Cor. 5:5- which is one of the more difficult NT passages to understand. What Paul seems to be saying is that he would deliver "such a one over to satan" to allow him to work his way- with the ultimate goal of bring (them) to salvation. The Commentary Critical offers this, " Besides excommunication (of which the Corinthians themselves had the power), Paul delegates here to the Corinthian Church his own special power as an apostle, of inflicting corporeal disease or death in punishment for sin (“to deliver to Satan such an one,” that is, so heinous a sinner). For instances of this power, see Ac 5:1–11; 13:11; 1Ti 1:20. As Satan receives power at times to try the godly, as Job (Job 2:4–7) and Paul (2Co 12:7; compare also as to Peter, Lu 22:31), much more the ungodly. Satan, the “accuser of the brethren” (Rev 12:10) and the “adversary” (1Pe 5:8), demands the sinner for punishment on account of sin (Zec 3:1). When God lets Satan have his way, He is said to “deliver the sinner unto Satan” (compare Ps 109:6). Here it is not finally; but for the affliction of the body with disease, and even death (1Co 11:30, 32), so as to destroy fleshly lust. He does not say, “for the destruction of the body,” for it shall share in redemption (Ro 8:23); but of the corrupt “flesh” which “cannot inherit the kingdom of God,” and the lusts of which had prompted this offender to incest (Ro 7:5). The “destruction of the flesh” answers to “mortify the deeds of the body” (Ro 8:13), only that the latter is done by one’s self, the former is effected by chastisement from God (compare 1Pe 4:6): the spirit … saved—the spiritual part of man, in the believer the organ of the Holy Spirit. Temporary affliction often leads to permanent salvation (Ps 83:16)." Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

3 | Jesus' teachings on sexual immorality | 1 Cor 5:5 | Singing For Him | 118965 | ||
Thank you BradK for the scriptures and information. From what you've pulled together it looks like they are left alone in their sin in hopes that they will someday return to the Lord afterwards. Also as a part of my question, did Jesus mention anywhere in his teachings how to deal with sexual immorality or even what He considered it to be specifically? I know someone who only takes what Jesus said as literal. The other books of the New Testament are not taken literally by them so I was wondering if Jesus touched on the subject also. |

4 | Jesus' teachings on sexual immorality | 1 Cor 5:5 | BradK | 118978 | ||
Singing For Him, A couple of scriptures come to mind: Matt. 15:19 "“For out of the heart come evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, slanders." Matt. 5:27-28 "“You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery’; but I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman with lust for her has already committed adultery with her in his heart." We also have the case of the woman caught in adultery and brought by the Pharisees to Jesus in John 8:3-4. Remember, all scripture must be understood by the context. Even the words of Jesus- though truth- must be studied within the proper context. Taking all He said as literal- unless warrant exists- is to arrive at potentially unfounded and incorrect conclusions. Scripture either stands or falls as a complete unit, comprised of ALL 66 books. In this regard, 2 Timothy 3:16 rings true, "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in righteousness;" Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
