1 & 2 Corinthians Sins Deception - Hebrews It! (Legal Study, Chapter 3) Pt. 13f

1 Corinthians 5:6 Your boasting is not good. Don’t you know that a little yeast leavens the whole batch of dough?​

James 4:6 As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil. ​

​

Matthew 16:6 Jesus said to them, “Watch and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and Sadducees.”​

​

Luke 12:1 In the meantime, when so many thousands of the people had gathered together that they were trampling one another, he began to say to his disciples first, “Beware of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy.​

​

Mark 8:15 And he cautioned them, saying, “Watch out; beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and the leaven of Herod.”​

​

Matthew 16:12 Then they understood that he did not tell them to beware of the leaven of bread, but of the teaching of the Pharisees and Sadducees.​

​

2 Timothy 2:16,17 But avoid irreverent babble, for it will lead people into more and more ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are Hymenaeus and Philetus,​

Exodus 12:15,16,17,18,19 Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven out of your houses, for if anyone eats what is leavened, from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel. On the first day you shall hold a holy assembly, and on the seventh day a holy assembly. No work shall be done on those days. But what everyone needs to eat, that alone may be prepared by you. And you shall observe the Feast of Unleavened Bread, for on this very day I brought your hosts out of the land of Egypt. Therefore you shall observe this day, throughout your generations, as a statute forever. In the first month, from the fourteenth day of the month at evening, you shall eat unleavened bread until the twenty-first day of the month at evening. For seven days no leaven is to be found in your houses. If anyone eats what is leavened, that person will be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he is a sojourner or a native of the land. ​

7 Get rid of the old yeast, so that you may be a new unleavened batch—as you really are. For Christ, our Passover lamb, has been sacrificed. ​

Paul isn't talking about the man with the EWWWWW sin. He's talking about Judgmental, Proud Hypocrites. This is bizarre! Paul isn't even addressing these people directly, but Spiritually insinuating them! An odd side note, we exegeted the "Festival of Unleavened Bread" into this passage by simple cross referencing. I had zero idea that Paul was about to bring it up. It's time to get blunt about what Paul is Spiritually speaking through Parables. Paul is contrasting the people that are attacking this sinner against this sinner who is covered in Jesus Christ's blood. The sin of the man is massive in magnitude, yet Paul is turning his Spiritual verbiage against those that are condemning this man!​

​

8 Therefore let us keep the Festival, not with the old bread leavened with malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.​

This is a massively huge shift in discussion. The festival specifies to Cut the person off from the congregation that is found full of leavening! Paul is now rounding the man's accusers up within the group of those that get cast out of the congregation as (The Leavening!). He is now identifying the man with the Ewwww sin as unleavened bread of sincerity and truth!​

9 I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— 10 not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world.​

This is where things get magnificently unexpected. Paul is now discussing not associating with a specific kind of people. Let's evaluate this per Jesus' experience here on earth.​

Matthew 9:10 While Jesus was having dinner at Matthew’s house, many tax collectors and sinners came and ate with him and his disciples. 11 When the Pharisees saw this, they asked his disciples, “Why does your teacher eat with tax collectors and sinners?”​

​

Mark 2:15 While Jesus was having dinner at Levi’s house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. 16 When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”​

​

17 On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.”​

​

The "Healthy" in this statement are far from healthy! Those that think they can "Please God" in their flesh are the opposite of "healthy".​

​

Paul had this discussion with Peter.​

​

Galatians 2:11 But when Cephas (Peter) came to Antioch, I opposed him to his face because he stood condemned. 12 For he regularly ate with the Gentiles before certain men came from James. However, when they came, he withdrew and separated himself, because he feared those from the circumcision party. 13 Then the rest of the Jews joined his hypocrisy, so that even Barnabas was carried away by their hypocrisy. 14 But when I saw that they were deviating from the truth of the gospel, I told Cephas in front of everyone, “If you, who are a Jew, live like a Gentile and not like a Jew, how can you compel Gentiles to live like Jews?”​

15 We who are Jews by birth and not “Gentile sinners” 16 know that no one is justified by the works of the law but by faith in Jesus Christ. And we have believed in Christ Jesus so that we might be justified by faith in Christ and not by the works of the law, because by the works of the law no human being will be justified.​

​

Paul, when saying don't associate with the Sexually Immoral is calling the people condemning the man who slept with his Mother APOSTATES! He's likening Sexual Immorality to Apostasy! This isn't the first place that he does this! Paul is saying to eat with the man who is sinning and cast away the people who are Condemning the man by the Stone Law! Paul is passively saying that the sin of using the Law against a Brother or Sister in Jesus is FAR worse and Sexually Immoral than Sleeping with your own Mom! That's a theological punch in the gut!​

​

11 But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people.​

This is Paul going to the next level and saying that the people condemning the man are GREEDY, Harlots, APOSTATES, DRUNK on the Strong Drink of the LAW and Thief's trying to steal away followers of Jesus who OBEY HIS LAW of LOVE!​

1 Corinthians 4:5 Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait until the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of the heart. At that time each will receive their praise from God..... 18 Some of you have become arrogant, as if I were not coming to you. 19 But I will come to you very soon, if the Lord is willing, and then I will find out not only how these arrogant people are talking, but what power they have. 20 For the kingdom of God is not a matter of talk but of power. 21 What do you prefer? Shall I come to you with a rod of discipline, or shall I come in love and with a gentle spirit?​

Has anyone stopped to think that Paul was a murderer, once? He's either going to head over to the Corinthians to drop the Spiritual Boom or come with Love and Gentleness. I don't know about anyone else, but knowing Paul, I would beg him to come with GRACE! And... the Irony is, Paul is setting up the TEACHERS of THE STONE LAW! They are hoping Paul comes with the Rod of Discipline! That's unwise, because that Rod will be over their backs! The shameful man that is begging for mercy, will receive MERCY! He's crying tears and saying, with his head hung Low, OH LORD, Please take pity on me a sinner!​

​

2 Corinthians 2:1-11 So I made up my mind that I would not make another painful visit to you. 2 For if I grieve you, who is left to make me glad but you whom I have grieved? 3 I wrote as I did, so that when I came I would not be distressed by those who should have made me rejoice. I had confidence in all of you, that you would all share my joy. 4 For I wrote you out of great distress and anguish of heart and with many tears, not to grieve you but to let you know the depth of my love for you. 5 If anyone has caused grief, he has not so much grieved me as he has grieved all of you to some extent—not to put it too severely. 6 The punishment inflicted on him by the majority is sufficient. 7 Now instead, you ought to forgive and comfort him, so that he will not be overwhelmed by excessive sorrow. 8 I urge you, therefore, to reaffirm your love for him. 9 Another reason I wrote you was to see if you would stand the test and be obedient in everything. 10 Anyone you forgive, I also forgive. And what I have forgiven—if there was anything to forgive—I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, 11 in order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes.​
