31 1 3 Through the Bible with Les Feldick, Our Sins have Already been Forgiven: 2 Corinthians 5

You see the whole idea of my teaching is not that you go by what I say, but to learn, what does the Bible say. And as I've stressed so often it's just as important to see what the Bible does not say. A lot of times we have misconceptions of what the Bible says, and a lot of time it's not even in there. So anyway we're going to just teach and hopefully point out what the Scriptures really say. So many times people just gloss over their reading of the Word and don't really see what it says. Now let's begin with II Corinthians 5:16 where we left off in our last lesson. And remember when Paul starts a verse with Wherefore or Therefore he's wanting you to reflect back to what he has just said, and he has just stressed the fact that Christ died for all, and since He died for all every last human being was dead in trespasses and sin until they're brought out of that deadness by an act of God when we believe the Gospel. II Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore (because that's all been accomplished) henceforth (now remember Paul is only talking about Christ's death, burial, and resurrection so he says, henceforth since that time) know we no man after the flesh: (now who in the world is he talking about? Well let's read on and see.) yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now (this side of His death, burial, and resurrection) henceforth know we him no more." Now what's Paul driving at? Well come back with me to I Corinthians Chapter 1. Paul was constantly up against opposition of one kind or another, and some of it probably sounded real good. It's just like today. I know people can throw arguments at me that sound real good. And sometimes they put me on the defense for a little bit, but when I stop and think, "Well what does the Word say?" And then that makes all the difference in the world. Now here was what Paul was up against in verse 12. I Corinthians 1:12 "Now this I say, that every one (the whole congregation of how many there were) of you saith, I am of Paul; and I of Apollos; and I of Cephas; (Peter) and I of Christ." Well what did they mean by that? "Well I'm going by what Jesus said." Does that sound familiar? I hear it all the time. Some asked me, "Why do you emphasize Paul? I'm not going to go by what some man says, but rather what Jesus said." Well now wait a minute, remember everything that Jesus said was under the Law. Now there are things that Jesus said that we can make application, of course we can, because it's the Word of God. But for the most part everything He said were to people living under the Law of Moses. For example when the lepers were healed and cleansed by His own miracle, what did He tell the lepers to do? "Go show yourselves to the priest." All right now are you going to tell me that if someone is suddenly healed of a disease or they are suddenly well again that to confirm this they are to go to the priest? Well what priest are they going to go to?
