justme-Thank you for your insight. Repentence, then forgiveness. To be sincerely repentant. Not just forgiveness without repentance. We have been through more than you can imagine with my son. He is a constant liar. We asked a simple question if they are living together and fornicating. We get a harsh email from her mother (also a Christian) stating that she as well as the pastor see nothing wrong with her living there because nothing wrong is going on. Why didnt my son and his fiance tells us that themselves? Why the lying? How are we to trust him? He has lied and justified it so many times. He lies (and uses God as well) to get what he wants. It is hard to admit this but it is true. We are the ONLY ones(outside of the Lord) that know so much about him as well as the truth. He is disrespectful and rude to us as well as very prideful (he always has been even as a child he would never humble himself).If he can not humble himself before man he will never humble himself before God. This whole thing has been a big mess. Instead of the pastor, her mom and us dealing with them about this, my husband and I are having to justify our standards which are God's standards. They are being disobedient and with the blessings of other Christians. | ||||||

Greetings, I’ll say one thing for sure, if your offspring is of legal age and out from under your roof, you sure have more nerve then I do. Matthew 7:2 (KJV) For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. If, as you say, they are true Christians God is able to take care of the situation and He sure know where to hit where it hurt! Hebrews 12:6-11 (NASB) FOR THOSE WHOM THE LORD LOVES HE DISCIPLINES, AND HE SCOURGES EVERY SON WHOM HE RECEIVES." 7It is for discipline that you endure; God deals with you as with sons; for what son is there whom his father does not discipline? 8But if you are without discipline, of which all have become partakers, then you are illegitimate children and not sons. 9Furthermore, we had earthly fathers to discipline us, and we respected them; shall we not much rather be subject to the Father of spirits, and live? 10For they disciplined us for a short time as seemed best to them, but He disciplines us for our good, that we may share His holiness. 11All discipline for the moment seems not to be joyful, but sorrowful; yet to those who have been trained by it, afterwards it yields the peaceful fruit of righteousness. Many times we mean well when we point the finger at some, whose sins are “appalling to us” but what it boils down to is the fact that we “all”, even as born again believers, still have a old sin nature; we just think our sin are more refined then others. Proverbs 6:16-19 These six things doth the LORD hate: yea, seven are an abomination unto him: 17A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, 18An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, 19A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. Have a nice day, CDBJ |
