Did Paul suggest capital punishment? ~ Cross reference of 1 Corinthians 5:13 to Deuteronomy 13:5, Deuteronomy 17:7, Deuteronomy 19:19, Deuteronomy21:21, Deuteronomy22:21-24, Deuteronomy 24:7
Corinth had a goddess called Aphrodite who was their goddess of sexual love and beauty. In this chapter Paul is addressing sexual immorality within the church though the elders in Corinth were trying to push it under the carpet as it was an one off issue. Paul comes down hard on them, because they were trying to protect the influential person who was involved in this sin. Wonder why he had to come down so hard on them given that Jesus died for them and once saves, saved for ever. One question I have though is, are today's Christians free from sexual immorality? Will they go to heaven even if they sin because they believed in Jesus? All Images are links to Google Images. Copyright violations not intended.
