- If you're receiving this transmission, you are the resistance.
Declaring war on the New World Order.
truthradioshow.com Shalom everybody and welcome to truthradioshow.com.
I'm Dan Bodondi, and welcome to this in-depth study of the Bible, this comprehensive study of the book of 2 Corinthians, Chapter 2.
We do chapter by chapter, so if you missed the first chapter, guys, please go back and watch it, and also a series on the book of 1 Corinthians.
So welcome to the broadcast here.
And so before we get going, we'd like to do a special in-depth study.
I'm sorry, a biblical study approach, I should say.
Number one, we pray for wisdom and understanding.
So join me in prayer, please.
So Yeshua, Messiah, Jesus, we come before you to ask you to forgive us individually of our sins.
And we love you so much and thank you for everything you do for us and continue to do.
And it's just, it really is.
It's just pure love.
And we love you so much.
And Father, we come before you to ask for protection against any and all evil and comfort everybody that's going through any kind of anguish or troubles or tribulations.
And just be, you know, send us the great comforter of the Holy Spirit to comfort us and also to write your word upon our hearts today.
In this case, the book of 2 Corinthians chapter 2.
And we should help us understand fully of your word and everything that it has to offer.
And the spiritual applications from the scriptures.
In your mighty name we pray.
Amen.
So guys, we read description context.
We don't just like couple verses here, then jump to another.
We don't frog up all over the Bible.
That's what typical churches do.
We don't do that.
Okay?
And if you're looking for something just to read the scriptures, Yeah, you got the wrong place, go to somebody that can do it better than me.
And let description interpret description.
So we read the Bible in context, okay?
So, we're not going to study half a chapter, or a quarter of a chapter, or again, jump all over the place.
We are going to study the entire chapter today, and it's only 17 verses.
So, theoretically, I mean, like, if we just read through this, we can probably be done in a minute or two.
Not even.
Well, like I said in the last video, we don't do that here.
We pull the meat and potatoes out of the description.
So, I don't even know how long this is going to last.
Is it going to last 20 minutes?
Is it going to last an hour?
Who knows?
We just let the Holy Spirit take it away.
And we, you know, we study the scriptures the best we can.
So, let's begin, and I use the King James Version, and open up your Bible.
If you don't got a Bible, guys, it's right on screen here.
So, let's begin in 2 Corinthians, Chapter 2.
So again, this is Paul's letter to the Church of Corinth, the second letter to the Church of Corinth.
"...but I determined this with myself, that I would not come again to you in heaviness." Otherwise, it's worth burning us.
Because remember, the Church of Corinth went through a little divide.
They had some problems going on.
People doing things they shouldn't be doing in there.
So this is why Paul, in the first letter he wrote, the first Corinthians act, to the Church of Corinth, he was living.
And he set things straight.
Plain and simple.
So that's why you're saying, yeah, but I determined this with myself that I would not come again to you in heaviness.
In other words, this harsh stuff that I gotta say here to straighten stuff out, you know.
For I make you sorry.
Who is it then that makes me glad?
But the same which is made sorry by me, Ask him, is it the same because I made sorrow for you and me?
Yet he's here to set the church straight again.
And I wrote this same unto you, lest when I came, I should have sorrow from them of whom I ought to rejoice.
So the people he ought to, should have rejoiced, he had sorrow for them because of the stuff going on in the church.
Having all the confidence in you all, that my joy is the joy of you all.
For out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote unto you with many tears.
So these letters he's writing to them, he's not taking joy in these letters.
Because he's going to sit here and set the church straight, and he's got his own people here, you know, these followers of Christ too, His own is like, you know, he's just ministering the Word of God, that's it.
But he's upset that he has to write these letters.
Because of all the division and everything else that went on in this church.
Even sexual morality, all kinds of stuff happened.
This is why Paul is ripping into these people.
Because he says again, for out of much affliction and anguish of heart, I wrote you guys' letters out of tears.
And not that you should be grieved, but that you might know that the love is which is more abundantly unto you.
So what he's saying, yeah, it's upsetting that he's writing this stuff, but it's out of love.
Because he's setting these guys straight.
If you don't get what I mean guys, please put it in the comments section and I'll explain it better, but hopefully I explain it right.
So much as he can't stand writing these letters to have to set these people straight, he's doing it because of anguish and everything else and out of his heart.
With tears, that he's upset he has to do this.
But, this is out of love.
Just like Jesus set us all straight, it was out of love.
So, when you let somebody continue to do evil, continue to do bad things, that's not love.
Love is saying, hey dude, you need to straighten up.
That's what love is.
Like in the, you know, when we try to help people in the streets and whatever, Oh, yeah, you know, stop judging me.
I thought your Bible said not to judge.
No, the Bible doesn't say it like that.
If I didn't love you, I wouldn't be trying to help you.
That's what they don't get.
So Paul is explaining the same thing, yeah.
But if any have caused grief, but if I, yeah, I'm sorry, guys.
I gotta slow down.
Sometimes it's just like, you skip ahead.
And just like, yeah, I'm sorry, just like ramble on and I, you gotta slow down, that's all.
But if any have caused grief, He has not grieved me, but in part, that I may not overcharge you all.
So if anybody's caused grief, he's saying, he didn't grieve me, he said, you know, they caused grief, but it didn't affect me.
But in part, that I may not overcharge you all.
In other words, yelling at all of you for it, you know?
"And sufficient to such a man is the punishment which was inflicted of many." So the sufficient of a man is this punishment which was inflicted of many.
So, these things cause problems for many people.
Like, one person in your team, right?
Just say you have a We use sports here, right?
So, or even the military.
So, if you got a team that's going out to pull a mission, and that one member of your team just keeps messing up and all that, it's gonna cause problems for the whole team.
Same thing on a football team or basketball team, and to the coach, it ends up benching them, whatever the case, but yeah.
So you get the point.
So, that counterwise, you ought rather to forgive him and comfort him.
Less perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
So if you see somebody struggling, right?
You know, your team or your church or whatever, you know what I mean?
You got that one person or two people that just keep dragging everything down and causing problems.
Do you kick them off?
Do you kick them out of your church?
Do you do it?
No.
Not at all, he's saying.
It says, you know, so that culture-wise you ought rather to forgive him and comfort him.
Unless perhaps such a one should be swallowed up with overmuch sorrow.
So, because if you don't do this guys, and somebody keeps messing up and all that, and you don't help them, whatever, and you just like shove them away or whatever the case, you saying?
They're gonna be swallowed up with sorrow, overmuch sorrow.
They're just gonna, you know, go overloaded.
You know what I'm saying?
I hope you get what I'm trying to say.
He's saying to help these people.
The ones that are slacking behind, get up, you know, get up behind them, give them a little push, you know, and uh, you help them out.
And this is the members of the church, too.
You got people who, you know, just don't do things right sometimes.
And you help these people.
Pray for them, comfort them, forgive them, and love them.
This way, because if you shut them away, because I've seen a lot of churches do that, they shut a person away, then the person ends up going on the street, you know, into drugs, everything else, and their life's just getting... their life's swallowed up.
Because they're filled with sorrow, right?
So, wherefore I beseech you, that you should confirm your love toward him.
Let me see, uh, I keep forgetting what beseech, because these are words you don't hear every day, you know what I mean?
So, beseech is, uh, ask somebody urgently or firmly to do something.
So, you urgently think, wherefore I urgently ask you that you should confirm your love toward him.
So, this beseech is like basically a serious notation there.
To urgently or fervently to do something and implore and treat.
So it's very important.
Wherefore I beseech you, like I urgently ask you to help, you know, that you would confirm your love toward him.
So I hope you guys get what I'm trying to say.
Even like, uh, it can use many examples, yeah.
You and that person and your family, you know?
That one person keeps messing up.
That could be one of your youngest sons or whatever the case, that keeps messing up in life.
Don't give up on him, don't kick him out or whatever.
You know, you guys need to get behind him, right?
Not to support him, no.
But get behind him, get him, comfort him, forgive him, and help him grow.
Or her up.
And confirm your love towards him.
And that's important.
Beseech.
For this end also did I write, that I might know the proof of you, whether you be obedient in all things.
In other words, obedience is to be obeyed.
I mean, like, you know, the Lord of God.
I'm sorry, obedience is to be, I'm sorry, let me get the precise obedience.
So he's good to know that.
So complying or willing to comply with orders or requests.
Submissive to another's will.
So, in this case, it's the Lord's will.
To be obedient in the Lord's will.
In all things, as well.
Right?
Which is in the Lord.
That's what he's talking about.
It doesn't mean to be obedient and tyrannical stuff.
No.
In the context of this, he's saying to be obedient of all things.
That's what they're teaching with the Word of God.
To whom you've forgiven anything.
I forgive also.
For I forgive anything to whom I forgave it.
And for your sakes forgive I, it is the person of Christ.
Now, if you remember what Jesus said, right?
Remember this.
It doesn't matter what somebody did to you.
I don't care, and I'm going to use a straight up lingo here.
Yeah, I don't care if you got raped.
Well, actually I do care, but you know what I mean?
You get the point.
You're raped or attacked, whatever the case.
Jesus says, if you do not forgive that person that did harm to you, or whatever the case, right?
If you don't forgive anybody in general, he's not going to forgive you.
So, let that sink in.
Yeah, He's not going to forgive you before the Father, if you don't forgive somebody.
The thing is, no matter what these people did to you, right?
It's nothing compared to what the world did to Christ.
Nothing.
We can sit here and think of a thousand things of all the people that have wronged us and bad us, right?
We can put them all together.
It's nothing compared to what they did to Jesus.
And then would they continue to do to Jesus to this day?
But Jesus says, hey, if you don't forgive your trespasses, I'm not going to forgive you.
Plain and simple.
So we, Satan, should get an avenger out of us.
For we are not ignorant of his devices.
Ignorant means we are not, uh... Ignorant, again, means like that's, um... Unknowing.
So we're not unknowing of his devices, we're aware of his devices.
Because he's telling you right here, about forgiveness here, and if you don't forgive, Satan's got to take advantage of that, big time.
Well, I mean, is he ever going to take advantage of that?
He's got to magnify things and hate, and it all does... When you don't forgive somebody, it leads to hate.
And you've got worse enemies you're supposed to love and forgive.
I've seen people, I mean, on court cases, where a person massacred their child, Done unspeakable, unrelentless things, okay?
Relentless things to that family, right?
And the mother or father will be like, you know, I forgive them.
Right in the courtroom.
I forgive them just like Jesus forgave me.
That's divine faith right there.
That is divine faith.
Furthermore, when I came to Troyes to preach, So when he came to Troas to preach, right, Christ's gospel, and a door was opened unto me of the Lord.
And I had no rest in my spirit, because I found not Titus my brother, but taking my leave of them, I went from thence into Macedonia.
So he's saying he came to Troas to preach the word of God, you know, Christ's gospel.
And a door was opened unto me of the Lord, and I had no rest in my spirit.
Because I found not Titus, my brother.
He didn't find his brother.
But taking leave of them, I went from Danson to Macedonia.
So resting, you know, not having the rest of my spirits, like, you know, on the quest part.
It's like, you know, like you're getting tired too, you know?
So anyway, now thanks be unto the God, which always causes us to triumph in grace.
So thanks, you know, again, this is cool.
So now thanks be unto God.
He has trust in God and like God's gonna be my rock, right?
In which he causes us to triumph in Christ.
And makes manifest the Savior of his knowledge by us in every place.
So he's saying the knowledge is by us, yes, but it's come from God.
Like what I'm saying here to you guys today, The knowledge I'm giving you guys is not from me, it's from the scriptures.
So we are, for we are, unto God a sweet Savior of Christ.
In them that are saved, and in them that perished.
search.
So the people that perish are the unsaved, obviously.
And if people are saved, they're saved.
You know what I mean?
It's clearly explained, right?
But we are unto God a sweet Savior of Christ.
In other words, in this word, Savior, that's more like a... hang on a second... a taste, you know, having a suggestion, a trace.
And then it does mean Savior, you know, this way people say, what do you mean we're saviors?
So if that doesn't say savior, say saver, you know what I mean?
And Jesus is the only savior.
You know, he saves us, but that's not what that means.
So, we are to God a sweet taste.
Remember we talked about the Luke 11 question?
That Jesus will chew up and spit out because you lost your salt, you lost your flavor.
Not that, you know, that gotta literally eat us.
It's just like, talk about, like when you eat meat, it's something that's just, ugh, dull.
You just want to spit it out.
It's salted and all that.
It's got the flavor.
It's good.
You know what I mean?
A hot Christmas.
On fire for the word of God.
But Savour here.
It's probably my accent that's just saying it wrong.
Sorry guys.
But yeah.
It's a taste of good food or drink and enjoying it completely.
I have a suggestion or trace of something, especially something bad.
So, yeah.
So we want to be a good, sweet flavor in the Lord's mouth.
And a flavor of Christ.
Our flavor should be Christ.
Not of our own, okay?
Not of some false god or anything like that.
Our flavor, which is not a little taste, but a flavor, is what we produce and preach, you know what I mean?
How we live.
That should be of Christ.
In them that are saved, and in them that perish.
To the one we are the saver of death, and to the other, now because it says even in them that perish, right?
So what does that mean?
Are we the people who perish?
Are they asleep?
Taste in the Lord's mouth?
No, because it goes on.
And this is why we read the biblical context here, because if you were to read this one verse, you'd be like, wait, hold on.
So this is saying that the saved in, the dead, the wicked who perish, right?
They're both a sweet taste in the Lord's mouth.
In other words, they do good if the Lord sees it good.
No, that's not what it's saying.
So now, you wouldn't know that until you read the next verse.
This is one example all the time I try to point out, because this will happen, right?
You get some Bible, and I don't even want to say this, because I don't want to give these Bible scoffers ideas, because they know 99% of the people don't read the Scriptures.
I think that right about there anyway, whatever the case, even 90%, whatever the case.
They know most people don't read the Scriptures for themselves.
So they'll throw this verse out, whoa, whoa, no, no, no, no, no.
Doesn't matter.
The saved or the perished, which is the, you know, the people, the wicked, right?
Doesn't matter.
They're still both the saviour.
A saviour tastes in the Lord's mouth.
That's not what we're saying.
If you go on to the next verse, it says, "...to the one who we are, the saviour of death unto death, and to the other, the saviour of life unto life." And who is sufficient for these things?
So, yeah.
Then we're saved, and then we're perished, right?
So obviously, we're a savior into the mouth of the Lord.
The perisher wants the Savior to death, right?
For we are not as many which corrupt the word of God, but of sincerity, but as God, of God, I'm sorry, in the sight of God speaking with me in Christ.
So he's saying, look, many people, for we are not as many, right?
Which corrupt the word of God.
And most of the world does that, guys.
That's why with the remnant, you know, when the Lord says, that straight and narrow is the way, only few are going to enter it, we're called the remnant for a reason.
Remnant means a minority, basically, you know what I mean?
Yeah, compared to the world.
Well, we're not like these many people who grew up the Word of God.
But as of sincerity, we are sincere.
But as of God, in the sight of God, speak we in Christ.
So me talking here, I'm speaking of Christ.
I'm not speaking on my own behalf.
These words are coming from the doctrine.
But you got people out there who grew up the Word of God, just like I explained here, they'll take this verse out of context, right?
It's like, oh, well, it doesn't matter.
You know, evil, good, you're still a sweet savior.
Flavor in the Lord.
Savor means flavor.
That's exactly what it means.
You're still a sweet flavor in the mouth of the Lord.
No, that's not what it says.
Because it explains the next verse.
So I just wanted to point that out.
So there's already 17 verses in this chapter.
So, yeah, 22 minutes now?
So it's not even about the time, like I said earlier.
We could have just ripped through these 17 verses within a minute or two.
But that's not how you read the Bible.
And there's pastors on their internet right now.
And they read great.
Some of these people are very articulate.
They can pronounce the words right, read them perfectly.
Yeah, beautiful thing.
But again, and I can't do that.
You know what I mean?
I admit that.
I stumble on words as I did, well, probably several times already today in the last video.
But yeah, that's not what it's about.
To read descriptions, guys, you gotta take your time.
Look words up so you get a clear understanding.
Like I said in the last video, if you don't know what a word means, you know, you skip over it.
You're just like, oh, you know, bypass it.
It could affect the entire outcome of the rush.
Because again, some of the words change over time.
And these words change and it gives you a whole different perspective and meaning of the verse.
So our goal is to pick out the meat and potatoes of the verse.
And one verse, I mean, there's been times I spent 10 minutes on one verse because there's so much context in it.
And it's probably more context that I missed, that the Holy Spirit didn't feel like, you know, I'm sorry, didn't want to reveal me today.
The Holy Spirit reveals things to you at a certain time for a reason.
So guys, if you need any more clarification on understanding any of these verses, please put it in the comment section, not the premiere of the live chat there, but the comment section, and I'll get back to you.
Any questions or comments as well.
So we do chapter by chapter, verse by verse.
Like I said, don't take my word or anybody else's word for it.
Read it for yourself.
Very important thing to understand.
Because most people, they'll go to church, right?
The pastor will read the scriptures, and the thing is that this is how they operate, right?
They'll read, um, right?
They'll say, oh, I want you to turn to 2 Corinthians chapter 2, verse 2 and 3.
They'll read those two verses.
Maybe one verse, two verses, three the most, whatever, right?
Then they'll say, all right, let's all jump over to Revelation 5, verses 10 and 11.
Then they're gonna say, all right, from there, we're gonna go jump over to Matthew 5, 12.
They frog hop over the Bible.
Are you really getting the context of this?
No, because you're bringing up several verses that most of them are out of context to begin with.
then you try to construe them in context with other verses.
Unless you read, you know, like sometimes when I'm reading through here, I said, well, forgiveness.
And Jesus said it.
And I brought up a verse.
If you don't forgive others, God's not going to forgive you, but it pertained to this.
It's not out of context.
Churches don't do that a lot, unfortunately.
They throw it out of context and build something up that's not there.
And they know most people are loving stuff.
They know most of the people in that congregation are not going to challenge them.
The Lord says to challenge every spirit.
And same thing with me.
If you don't feel I did right, whatever the case, you challenge me, you put me in my place.
And if you're right, I humbly accept it.
Because there's no room for egos or anything like that, or wires or anything in this quest to bring the Word of God to people.
