Part XXIV
What's left concerning
others when nothing has worked up to these parts?
The Final Conclusion
in Detail!
-
Deliver Them to Satan
-
Destruction of the flesh
-
To deliver
such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit
may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. I
Corinthians 5:5
-
Learn not to blaspheme!
-
Of whom
is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they
may learn not to blaspheme. I Timothy
1:20
I. Destruction of the flesh!
-
I Corinthians
5 - all the chapter. It is about
the brethren, not the lost person, etc. Not only is the perpetrator
sent unto Satan but the average church goer person is rebuked for knowing
about it all and still glorying and not doing anything about it.
A very interesting chapter in that it is really about the 'brethren' REALLY
messing up. There is something that needs to be done when someone
is deep into 'sin' but the folks around knowing about it are also held
accountable. I think our Judgment Seat just isn't quite what 'good'
Christians think it will.
Destruction
of the flesh?
-
Death? No,
of course not. That would go against Paul's doctrine. But the
person's flesh has to be 'allowed' to have what it wants so he gets sent
unto Satan - the god of this world and the person will have to learn the
hard way about their own personal 'sin' in the flesh. The comment
about not eating with... and being wicked is referring to a CHRISTIAN!
-
Read the whole
chapter slowly - it is about the 'brethren' and those who not only allowed
it, but actually were puffed up and glorying as they all knew EXACTLY what
was going on.
-
So, when your
family member or even just friend, etc. is into something well beyond what
even lost people would do - and everyone knows about it, it will not be
God that will work the person over but it will be the devil!
-
Romans 2:4
-
it all comes out for them in their white throne judgment - unless they
get saved because of God's longsuffering he has towards all!
The spirit
may be saved?
-
Certainly not
the Holy Spirit and it is the man's soul that gets saved, not his spirit.
So what to what spirit is this possibly referring? Listen to the
sermon for my quick thought.
Only for fornication?
-
No - read on,
he eventually includes covetous, idolater, railer, drunkard, extortioner.
Warning to
the people who knew it was going on and were puffed up and their glorying
is not good...
-
The people who
knew this guy was 'with' his mother were in danger of falling as low when
Paul warned them: "Know ye not that
a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?"
Purge out the
old leaven...
-
...by getting
rid of this "wicked"
man!
That Wicked
Person
-
The wicked person
is one of the brethren, not a lost person!
II.
Learn not to blaspheme!
Of whom
is Hymenaeus and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they
may learn not to blaspheme. I Timothy
1:20
What did
Hymenaeus & Alexander do that was so bad?
-
Hymenaeus -
II Timothy 2:17 - did not rightly divide
- his profane and vain babblings ate like a canker...!
-
Alexander
- II Timothy 4:14 - he greatly withstood
Paul's words.
-
Note: Paul asked
the Lord to reward him according to his works: hmmm ... very similiar to
Paul turning him unto Satan, eh!
We have two
issues that concern us concerning blasphemy today...
-
For Men:
I Timothy 6:1- Let
as many servants as are under the yoke count their own masters worthy of
all honour, that the name of God and his doctrine be not blasphemed.
-
For Women:
Titus
2:4,5 -
That
they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to
love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good,
obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.
So,
we often choose / or are pushed to get into situations where we just insist
on learning the hard way - being turned unto Satan - the god of this world
- as do others we know; thus, what Paul says about turning men / women
unto Satan, make perfect application here concerning men and women!
And again,
it isn't God beating the people up in the world - it is Satan, etc.
So when you have tried everything and nothing works, then you just let
them go to the world! Let them go! The devil will show them
a thing or two!

The entire
King James Bible is written FOR us, but it is not all written TO us!
We learn
from the "For" and we learn to apply the 'TO!"
These writings
of Paul are directly from the Risen Saviour to Paul...
...and
then to us through the King James Bible by the Holy Ghost!
