DCF,
I'm writing to try to demonstrate how a change in perspective from outer to inner transforms a passage.
1 Cor. 5:5:1 It is actually reported that there is sexual immorality among you, and of a kind that does not occur even among pagans: A man has his father's wife.
The man is the child who is ego, the wife the body, the father, God, or the Christ within.
2 And you are proud! Shouldn't you rather have been filled with grief and have put out of your fellowship the man who did this?
Pride, or ego. Are we filled with it, or the Holy Spirit? If we are prideful, should we rejoice, or put it away from us?
3 Even though I am not physically present, I am with you in spirit. And I have already passed judgment on the one who did this, just as if I were present.
Even as we revel in ego, we know it is a hollow 'victory' and fleeting.
Have to continue on another page, SI difficulties with long messages.
Peace,
Darrin |
