38. Deliverance to Satan and Understanding the Purpose of Disciplining the Flesh 1 Co 5:3–5

In this scenario, Paul suggests that we let them return to the old city and allow them to experience it again. If a person wants to persist in lying, let them return to the city where it is practiced. Where they can lie, and be lied to, where they cheat and be cheated, where they can steal and be stolen from, where they can be foolish and drunken, and where they can experience the affects and effects of other drunken people. And perhaps they will remember the city of light, perhaps they will remember what they left behind, and perhaps they will “come to their senses” as the prodigal son did and return in repentance.
