Bible Question:
How did Paul hand or deliver these men over to Satan? and just how much did they have to be punished before they learned thier lesson? |
Bible Answer: Greetings christian7, Paul said that he handed them over to Satan meaning that he has removed them from the church, thus ending their influence in the church and removing them from the protection and insulation of God's people. They were no longer under God's blessings but under the control of Satan. He did this so that Hymenaeus and Alexander would see how they had fallen into heresies and were attempting to shipwreck the faith of true believers. The ultimate purpose was not punishment but correction. The bible does not tell us how long they took before they learned their lesson. They may not of learned it at all. prayon |
