II Corinthians
Chapter
7 {Note: 'Molusmos' was the word for the mud/excrement/garbage that you got on your garments in walking in the ancient cities where trash and excrement was thrown in the street. Here it means excrement of the flesh and spirit - maligning, judging, etc. - so means to rebound from your sins - I John 1:9. 'Hagiosune' or sanctification through the Grace Apparatus of Perception.}
2~~Receive
us with love {Note: People in Corinth made three false claims against Paul and he responds to them here. 'Corrupted' here means many people this Rebound corrupts . . . to easy to sin and be forgiven . . . a distortion of the doctrine.} {Note: 'Pleonekteo' - means wild for money - apparently a common false claim against Paul.} 3~~I speak not in the spirit of condemnation.
For
I have said before
{Paul
was depressed and is explaining how he became depressed and got out
of it. verses 4-7}
I
have received the filling of comfort . . . {Note: The Corinthians said Paul was a mouse face to face with them. They were incorrect. But Paul was SOO strong with them in I Corinthians relationally they felt that way.} {Note: Now Paul is telling them that he brags on the Corinthians to others when he is away - they are generous, well meaning people. But in I Corinthians he had to be tough to straighten them out. Now Titus is coming along and acted/said something to bring Paul comfort.}
{Explanation
of Paul's depression - no let up for Paul}
6-7~~But
God, and only God . . . {Note: Titus was always a blessing for Paul to see - Titus was a great troubleshooter for Paul. But, in addition to fellowship, this time Paul received great comfort when Titus reported the status of the Corinthians. Titus himself was comforted when the Corinthians rebounded and he was blessed by their response to his authority. He reported this back to Paul which brought Paul great comfort.} {Side Note: It is POSSIBLE that Titus was the brother of Luke. Titus was not mentioned in Acts - maybe this is why.}
8-9~~If
also I made you to be sad
10~~For
sorrow,
11~~For
behold this very thing,
What
a defense of yourselves! What a new attitude!
What
fear!
What
insatiable desire!
What
zeal!
What
revenge!
In
all these things
12~~Therefore, {Note: Paul was not taking sides in their controversies, but he wrote about the need for rebound, and GAP and relationship with God and spiritual growth. Sometimes people have to be HURT before they will come to the grace of God.}
{Verses
13-15 are the introduction to Titus Lesson 1 (series 470) - see this
tape for information} {Note: When a pastor/teacher communicates doctrine, the epignosis in his soul is reinforced and his soul is refreshed. When the audience is receptive, the spirit receives inner happiness!}
14~~For
if I had boasted anything to him on behalf of you
We
communicate all things to you in truth . . .
15~~And
his {Titus'} inward affection {Note: Titus beat them up pretty good using the I Corinthian Epistle. But in response, they concentrated . . . they mentally vibrated but took it all in . . . they accepted his authority in the pulpit . . . and rebounded . . . and got it . . . and can now progress.}
16~~
I have inner happiness therefore ************************************************** Joshua_Sozo and Syndein are the Trademarks of Syndein a California DBA of Kenneth Sidley & Associates, Inc., a California Corporation.
