someone slack, not because as you have correctly said they are in sin, but that doesn't
mean that God has not started working on them, showing them a better way. We don't
always ...[text shortened]... or, sometimes sanctification
does take awhile to get us to see the light, and God's better way.
Accepting someone who is in rebellion to God and will not take correction is not what the Bible says to do. You feel that being accepting is more important than following Biblical instruction.
That's no bueno.

Originally posted by KellyJayThe worst of all sins is the one in which so-called Christians advise people that the following of Christ's commandments are not required. You are guilty of that. You preach a version of mouth worship. You will beheld accountable for that deception of people who do not know better.

So God did not do a number on you otherwise you would have known that. The pastor and the church doctrine did a number on you. You need to clean up yourself before its too late.

Originally posted by EladarWhen I say works on them it is repentance. Read the scriptures it is loaded with verses telling believers that they need to get their act together. Telling them to change their ways! What you do is just condemn them and automatically assume that they have nothing to do with the Lord. That's like thowing the baby out with the bath water.

As for my point, all I can do is admonish you with scripture. If you were in the majority around here I wouldn't bother.
What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? 13 God will judge those outside. “Expel the wicked person from among you.”[a]
Do you believe this scripture ever applies to you?

It all applies.

FMF: [to KellyJay about his OP] By "walk away" do you mean 'lack belief'?Oh well, yet another thread of dogmatic interest to some Christians only, and of no spiritual value, substance or relevance to anyone else.

Originally posted by EladarYou called me a child of the devil, then accused me lying about what you said. If I am wrong than correct me! Falsely accusing me of saying things that can be quoted by either of us that was not true was shocking.
