Bible Question:
Greeting in the name of Jesus and God bless you. My question is about: 1 Corinthians 5:2 “2Can it be that you are still proud” Worldwide English. What was the thing that made them proud? It was a very clear sin. Thank you |
Bible Answer: Hi! Paul is referring to their collective treatment of the sins committed by some in the congregation... instead of correcting the errors, everyone (or most everyone) is looking the other way--perhaps, as all "good ole" boy/girl networks, they were not only looking the other way but making excuses as they attempted to justify the unrighteous behavior (sexual immorality) or even celebrate their various conquests as something that would equal or best the pagans about them... Paul, as Christ Jesus, is demanding from them a greater commitment to God's Commandments; a determination to stay the course... to remove from within them the carcinogen and to return the Body to its healthy spiritual state... It is their arrogance to continue in the flesh while professing that they are Christians that Paul calls "pride" ("you are still proud")... Even today we can see that the Body of Christ suffers through such episodes as some who call themselves "Christians" do not only look the other way as more and more people impose their morality on the Church and the Holy Scriptures, but they actually help tear down the Body of Christ under the guise of "tolerance" or "God loves all men as they are..." or something similar to those fallacies! God Bless! Angel |
