We must remeber that at one point we were as such, lost an in the world. You may speak to people but do not tarry in the mist of such doer's, because you could fall back to your old ways. You should profess Christ so that soul might know there is a way out. I live where there are many drunks, fornicator's and I keep out of their den but speak to them. I've invited them to church, because on any given day they may open their heart to receive the word of God. Since I know not what that person is feeling daily, I do not want to block them from freedom.
I writing to see what you think about this we have a lady that is living with a man.They are living together she said they are not sleeping together.But she wanted to become a member of the church.She said she got saved but has never changed her living with this man.She has stood in church and lied and the pastor knows she did.It is tearing are church up because of the division in are church.What do you think about this.I think the paster should have never let this woman come in the church like this.
Yes, the word of GOD is just what it says. We need more people to preach the truth so people can get delivered of these spirits. Thats all we need is the word of GOD to live a holy life and not a book report.
I agree,it is exactly what the word says it is. If you say that you are a child of God, then you should carry yourself as such. Purging yourself from dead works. Not confessing that you are of God and being, acting, and even hanging with people that do what you got delivered from. God said to come out from among them, and have no fellowship with them. Not saying that you can't talk to them, but if you do, you will witness Jesus to them. Also being that light; that will cause them to see a differance between your life and theirs. That will make people think about their soul needing Christ.
verse 8 Therefore let us keep not with the old sins that we have been commited before we got saved, cause we are not dogs....We are now a new creature and must be sinless, pure, spotless found faithful unto the day of His coming.
I see that many misinterpret this to mean that we are not to associate with anyone who commits these crimes. But if you read it carefully you'll see that Paul is talking about our brothers, not the people who have note become our brothers. If we disassociate with everyone including the ones on the outside of our community than we keep the worldly sinner from accepting Jesus Christ and thus leaving the world behind and becoming our brother. It is our brother who returns to the world and the ways of sin that we are to no longer associate with, not that of the person whom we have not yet spoken to of the Good News.
I believe it means exactly what it says. Some people think this is harsh, but the reality is. . it may be the very thing that saves such a person. Not following Paul's teachings on how to deal with sin in the church, may cause the whole "lump" to be lost.
