of the apostle Paul to the Word of God! How different from the
attitude of the world - and sadly- ofttimes to that of professing
believers! This attitude is pre-eminent with Paul - for he sees
Christ and His Word as being </span></span><u><span style="">one</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">!
Therefore he is being faithful to </span></span><u><span style="">Christ</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
when he is faithful to His Word. He sets this forth in 1:19. </span></span></font>

1:23-2:4 Paul reveals his heart when it was necessary to mete out
discipline! It is like parents having to corporally discipline their
children! Yet in true love God does that for us, and in true love
parents realize that they </span></span><u><span style="">must</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
do this for their own. The world rejects this! Liberals reject it.
But the mess the world is in today, especially our Western Culture,
reveals the tragedy when God and His Bible are rejected! Again - if
only intelligent people would look at the life-work of Ivan Panin in
Bible Numerics, and understand that the Bible is </span></span><u><span style="">not</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">See
how deep was Paul's anguish when having to mete out discipline! But
see here another aspect of discipline: Following the reception of
discipline by the erring one, such must </span></span><u><span style="">now</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
be forgiven and received back, </span></span><u><span style="">just
like</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">

also</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
</span></span><u><span style="">does</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
the </span></span><u><span style="">apostle Paul</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">!
This is so important to see and understand. It is much like
grandparents do for their grandchildren, when the parents have done
right in this regard. But apostles and grandparents </span></span><u><span style="">must</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
stand by churches and parents during the time of this sequence. One
father had to deal with his kids' grandfather on his wife's side. It
was </span></span><u><span style="">very</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
painful. But it worked out a relationship with all concerned that
truly glorified God! </span></span></font>
