Fornication different from other sins

Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet

Fornication is a sin different from other sins.

Paul explains:

15Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid. 16What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. 17But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. 18Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. 19What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? 20For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s. I Cor. 6

Fornication is a sin against the Body of Christ.

In I Cor. 5, Paul said if a "brother" (church member) commits fornication, put him out of the church.  Do not even "eat" with him.(Don't try to share scripture with him anymore. The evil doer will pull you down as you try to turn him.)

9I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators: 10Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 12For what have I to do to judge them also that are without?(we do not judge the world but we are supposed to judge the church on these sins) do not ye judge them that are within?  13But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. I Cor 5

 with such an one no not to eat.  I Cor. 5:11  (continued correction will not work ..)

Paul also says to put idolaters, drunkards, extortioners, railers, and covetous out of the church. (I Cor. 5)

I just put someone out of our church group.  I believe she is an "idolater".  Her worship is physical appearance.  And she continues to choose it over God.

I am comforted because I believe the scriptures show such a person could still be saved.

11For other foundation can no man lay than that is laid, which is Jesus Christ (The word of God). 12Now if any man build upon this foundation gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, stubble; 13Every man’s work shall be made manifest: for the day shall declare it, because it shall be revealed by fire; and the fire shall try every man’s work of what sort it is.  14If any man’s work abide which he hath built thereupon, he shall receive a reward. 15If any man’s work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. I Cor. 3

Also in I Cor. 5, we Paul said this of the fornicator. 4In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, 5To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus. 

We have to put these people out of the church and we have to "not eat with them" (no longer share the Word of God with such).  The word we would share will only allow them to connect without real repentance and they will continue their sin in the church without real repentance and it will be a leaven to the church pulling us down ...so Paul says:

Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump? 7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:  8Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
