” He is the one who wrote 1 Cor. 5:9-13 after all....”
I could’ve sworn Paul wrote that letter...
Just wow.
Jesus IS the Word of God. It is HIS Spirit that moved Paul's pen. Paul wrote an original letter to the Corinthians BEFORE the one we know as 1 Corinthians and he wrote a letter to the Laodiceans...and probably much more...but they are not in the Bible. Why? Because JESUS didn't write them...Paul did.
If Jesus has not moved Paul's hand through His Holy Spirit...we wouldn't be talking about 1 Cor 5 right now at all. Jesus IS the Word made flesh (John 1:14). He IS the LOGOS.
So I guess you only follow the red letters of scripture?
