If I am meant to understand the first question I asked on this thread....then the Holy Spirit will lead me to the answer.
No,he doesn’t reveal all to us....I have asked the Lord many many questions..still waiting for answers...those questions may never be answered...I’m ok with that because I walk in faith and put my trust in God.

Generally speaking, the word flesh often takes on a negative connotation in Scripture, though not always. In this context, the flesh would be referring to those things which oppose the Holy Spirit of God. We know what is right and good and yet may fail to do it when the flesh interferes. If A is attempting to help B see the workings of the flesh in B's life, and B resists beyond the point where A sees they are making no headway, then turning B over for the destruction of their flesh simply means A leaves it in God's hands to deal with, in whatever way He sees fit. Two cannot walk together unless they are in agreement.

What I have found in Christ is everything that was taken and I searched for the things I hated and became lead me home to him no longer needing to look for answers but to know in time they will reveal to me. As my life has lead me to this and in his light. In all that has been revealed to me is an understanding trust because what we think we know isn’t always so. For what I don’t know brings me trust and what I didn’t once no had brought me faith

Death Penalty................... destroy the flesh to save the spirit............
1 Corinthians, Chapter 5:
1) It is reported commonly that there is fornication among you, and such fornication as is not so much as named among the Gentiles, that one should have his father's wife.
2) And ye are puffed up, and have not rather mourned, that he that hath done this deed might be taken away from among you.
3) For I verily, as absent in body, but present in spirit, have judged already, as though I were present, concerning him that hath so done this deed,
4) In the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, when ye are gathered together, and my spirit, with the power of our Lord Jesus Christ,
5) To 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.
6) Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7) Purge 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:
8) Therefore 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.
FYI

Adam and Eve had no shame until they sinned against God, and in realizing what they had done, attempted to "cover" themselves. God saw their covering was inadequate, and provided the first covering involving a blood sacrifice, pointing forward to the ultimate sacrifice of His Son for the propitiation of sin, that those who believe by grace through faith in His shed righteous blood on our behalf (due to His great love for us), may be reconciled to Him, and attain to life ever after.

It means to release the power of Satan to punish for the purpose of discipline. Of course, Satan means to destroy, but the Purpose of the Lord, and which should be of the congregation as well, is to Save. Oftentimes, affliction will drive a man to his knees, which is what this is designed to do.
God's aim in discipline is not to preserve the purity of the Church, but to save the person who sins. Sometimes Believers forget this latter purpose.
Even though the Church can do such a thing as here suggested, still, it is God Who ultimately Alone can turn a person over to Satan. This is another check and balance of the Holy Spirit.
Lamentations 3
“31 For the LORD will not cast off forever (the Lord will not afflict forever, meaning that it will come to an end, if we will only trust Him):
32 But though He cause grief, yet will He have compassion according to the multitude of His mercies. (We have the assurance that any “grief” He causes is brought about for our good, and is done with “Compassion” and “Mercy.” What a wonderful Lord we serve!)
33 For He does not afflict willingly nor grieve the children of men. (God does not afflict in a malicious spirit, as man does. Men afflict others in order to hurt. God afflicts in order to help, i.e., “to bring us to a place of maturity.”)”

Ok, then you know that there are conditions to know more truth like most of his promises.
Jesus spoke these things, many believed in Him. 31So He said to the Jews who had believed Him, “If you continue in My word, you are truly My disciples. 32Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
