them that are without God judgeth
1 Corinthians 5:1 It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife. 2 And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you. 3 For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed, 4 In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
This is an example of God's mercy, you have to see the whole story, but God allows someone who is guilty of such sins to see that they will be excluded from the kingdom of the heavens, giving them a chance to repent. It is a major failing in the apostasy, they claim that you are to love the sinner and be merciful, but they don't follow this pattern. God loves them because He does not want them to spend eternity in hell. What the apostasy calls "love" is simply enabling sinners to sin and ensuring that they do spend eternity in hell. There is a verse that says we should not fear him that kill the body but once you are dead there is nothing more he can do, but rather fear him who after you die can cast you into hell. Well the corollary is don't listen to him who can forgive sins in this life but when you appear before the throne there is nothing he can do, rather fear him who after you die can cast you into hell for sins.
6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
This doctrine that they are "loving the sinner" and "showing mercy" is leaven.
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us: 8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Jesus Christ is the reality of the Passover feast, the church age is the reality of the feast of unleavened bread. During this feast we are to purge out all the leaven, all these erroneous doctrines from our house (church).
9 I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10 Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world.
So it is reasonable that one would assume this word applies to someone in the church but not to Epstein or Maxwell. It doesn't apply to the CIA. However, there is a principle here concerning God's love, God's justice and God's mercy that does apply universally.
11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolator, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within?
Everyone wonders why God allows sin, but look at this verse. Paul is saying why are you asking me to judge those who are without (Caesar, etc) for the sins that you are allowing within. Peter said that judgment must begin at the house of God. Today we see in the apostate church that they do allow fornicators, covetous, idolators, railers, drunkards and even extortioners to call themselves a brother. The day of the Lord is when Jesus will judge those who are without but it will begin with those who are within the church. They will be judged for all these sins, but first those in the church will be judged.
13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person.
Here is the point, yes God will judge and yes the Lord will judge during the Day of the Lord. That is precisely why we are to put them out of the fellowship. If they are in the church then you too will be judged at the same time.
So yes, I understand that the US government and the US department of justice is not the church. However, I am making it very clear that the sins of Epstein and Maxwell and everyone else involved have absolutely nothing to do with me or the church. As a US citizen I am voting 100% that justice be done, that it be transparent, that everyone who has sinned be held accountable. If the world refuses that is on them, but not on me.
Donald Trump could not have been elected had he not gotten the vote of conservative Christians. I am making it very clear that this is a very clear line, if he or other politicians want to continue to get my vote and other conservative Christians they need to faithfully carry out their duties to deal with this sin.
