Bible Question:
I have two particular passages in the bible I need interpretation for. Can someone explain to me what they mean? Thankyou so much. 1. Romans 2:12 and 14 15 16 'All who sin apart from the law will also perish part from the law and all who sin under the law will be judged by the law AND 2. 1 Corinthians 5:5 ....hand this man over to Satan, so that the sinful nature will be destroyed and his spirit saved on the day of the Lord' What does he mean hand him over to Stan? And why would that destroy his sin but instead make it worse? The his spirit will be saved after he was handed over to Satan? I don't understand. |
Bible Answer: 1. While the sinner who doesn't know "the law" (613 laws of the Old Testament) will surely be punished at the judgment, the sinner who does know the law will be even more severely punished because he knew better. 2. The man is a born-again believer in Jesus Christ who has chosen to sin. Handing him over to Satan means breaking off fellowship with him. In due time he will repent because Satan will have no mercy on him. He will torment him and, if necessary, even his flesh will die. But, his spirit will be saved. See 1 Cor 3:11-15 for the details. |
