FURTHER CORRECTIONS FOR THE CORINTHIANS

My Dear Precious Child,
   Paul's corrections for the Corinthians were many because the church members had become unspiritual because of their being babies in spiritual matters instead of being able to eat the solid food from the Holy Spirit's tutoring.  They neither recognized the gift of the Spirit of discernment of the devil's works when they allowed factions to exist in the church with their constant arguments between brothers in Christ, nor did they discern the sins of the members who were engaged in sexual immorality as being people who were polluting the purity of their church. (I Corinthians 6:1-8)  They tolerated divisive arguments between spiritual brothers as well as a member who was sleeping with his own mother-in-law. (I Corinthians 5:1-2)  If they had been mature members of the body of Christ they would have settled their differences between themselves.  Also, if they had been experienced in discerning of spirits they would have asked the man who was engaged in incest to leave their congregation. (I Corinthians 5:2)
   Also there were other reasons Paul was writing a letter of correction to them.  He had cautioned them time and again about keeping peace with each other, to forgive quickly and to even become like Jesus by taking upon themselves the sins of other people who wronged them by making peace with them.  He had learned that some of the born again, Spirit baptized members were suing their brothers in Christ in civil courts instead of having an elder in the church mitigate between them.  Paul considered that as being a bad witness to the world of the lack of virtues of My children.  He said how dare the two parties show the world that My words of wisdom to My children about keeping peace with everyone was foolishness. (Matthew 5:38-48)  He also said that one person or the other was obviously doing wrong by cheating his spiritual brother, of which he should be ashamed. (I Corinthians 6:1-8)
    Paul reminded the people in the church at Corinth that I said that neither people who live immoral lives or idolators, adulterers, catamites, sodomites, thieves, usurers, drunkards, slanderers and swindlers will ever inherit My kingdom of God while they live in the earth unless they give up their demons.  He also reminded them that some of them at one time were once bound by those sins but they had been washed clean, sanctified and justified through the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and through My Holy Spirit's cleansing.  (I Corinthians 6:9-11)   Yet some of them had returned to their old ways of swindling each other in some way or they would not have been sued by a brother in Christ.  Because of their lack of spiritual maturity they had returned to their former ways of an eye for an eye.  
     Paul wrote that for him all things are legal but not everything is beneficial for him.  He recognized that not everyone had the same grace to refuse sexual temptations that he had developed. (I Corinthians 6:12) He said that the human body is not meant for fornication because when a man and woman have sexual relations their bodies become one.  So if a spiritual man has sexual relations with a prostitute, then he is causing a portion of the body of Christ to be joined with the body of a prostitute.  It should not be so.  He said that all sins are committed outside the body but for a man his act of fornication is committed against his own body. (I Corinthians 6:15-17)  
     Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit and you are not your own property.  Your body belongs to Jesus Christ as His dwelling place in the earth.  (I Corinthians 6:19-20)  To the spiritually mature members of the body of Christ, the veil has been removed and they are able to hear from My Holy Spirit, discerning good from evil instead of falling for the temptations of demons who are sent from the devil to cause divisions between My children; plus, they are able to refuse the sexual temptations of the flesh when the devil sends lust into their minds.
     Every facet of the lives of My children are covered in the advice and corrections sections of My letters to the churches through Paul, Peter, James and John.  Paul spent two years alone with Me and He was schooled in refusing temptations.  Take My advice through him.
