Matthew 18:18
Gospel of MatthewSteve Gregg
In this talk, Steve Gregg discusses the concept of binding and loosing in Matthew 18:18, in the context of restoring lost individuals. He explains how some people interpret this verse to mean binding Satan and loosing angels on God's behalf, but argues that this is not the intended meaning. According to Gregg, the promise of binding and loosing is meant for the church to enforce standards of behavior and hold apostolic authority, which is available through the writings of the original apostles.
