This one is simple, even for a simpleton. The one your church (your pastor, your minister, your congregation) judges as "wicked" is not always wicked.
Originally posted by Proper Knobits a quotation taken out of context, it could mean anything and as i have not read the entire article its hard for me to comment upon it. It could infact be someone who has become a witness like my friend Arshid Latif who was almost killed by his Muslim uncles.
How can the article claim -
"No one should be forced to worship in a way that he finds unacceptable or be made to choose between his beliefs and his family."
And yet apostates are to be shunned and will more than likely have to choose between their beliefs and family.

Originally posted by SuzianneOh my. Do you really not read the Bible and see how the early congregation and the elders were set up by Jesus? Were those men who had to make the same kind of desicions also imperfect but yet were used by God and directed by Jesus?

If you only want perfect men to make certian desicions such as dfellowhipping then your going to have some serious problems are you not?

You know, for someone spouting the WTO line (as well as which verses they say supports their questionable practices), you are abysmally unaware of what those verses actually say. Try reading it again. It says that God will judge those without, so you (the congregation supposedly, but more probably the local church leader) must remove the wicked within. This means they are doing the judging as to who is wicked, not God, not the Bible, but a man.

Originally posted by galveston75Oh, come on, Gman! Do you really think that the current church leaders are "used by God and directed by Jesus"? Seriously?
