Are you claiming that they interpret it as you do, then claim that they can do those things and be righteous at the same time? :dizzy:
elohiym, have you ever read the chapter? (1 Corinthians 5 and 6)
It doesn't appear that you have.
Let's review.... elohiym is claiming that Paul is speaking to
unbelievers when he wrote...
1 Corinthians 6:15 Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? Shall I then take the members of Christ and make them members of a harlot? Certainly not!
1 Corinthians 6:18 Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body.
Which of course is ridiculous based on "Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ?"
Now let's slam the door shut even harder. If we jump back a few verses lets read the setup to all of this...
Paul writes....
1Corinthians 5:1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you
Among who???
Who is he talking about? Believers or unbelievers? It sure sounds like believers based on verses 2 thru 8, but lets find out for sure...
Paul continues...
1Corinthians 5:9 I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people.
Who is he talking about? Believers or unbelievers? According to elohiym Paul MUST be referring to unbelievers because according to elohiym a believer CANNOT be sexually immoral.
Yet Paul says otherwise....
1Corinthians 5:10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world.
That should just about do it. Case closed, end of story, Paul is obviously referring to the sexual immoral within the Body and NOT of those of the "world".
Paul doesn't stop there....
1Corinthians 5:11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner — not even to eat with such a person.
Maybe elohiym will claim Paul is saying those are sexually immoral that are merely named brothers but are not really brothers?
Nope! Paul clarifies beyond any doubt who he is referring to....
1Corinthians 5:12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore “put away from yourselves the evil person.” 6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unrighteous, and not before the saints?
Paul is saying that these sexual immoral people are
INSIDE THE BODY!
Will elohiym change and accept that he has been proven wrong? :think:
