1 | Church and addiction | NT general | Jlalli | 230838 | ||
So are u saying not to go to church until one is perfect ? I think a church might be a good place to start. What would your advice be to an addict wondering where to start to accept Christ? I appreciate your note about living a life after accepting Christ but it seemed to me that good church provides as good support system for an addict and I wouldn't want her to stop her search I see your point further in Matt 7 when it says not everyone who says Lord Lord will enter the Kingdom . Don't want to mislead anyone just wanted to encourage anyone who is addicted. I was and by God leading me to a good church was saved by believing in Jesus. Now I am trying to live a life with Christ in me . Not quite perfect yet ! Thanks for your note Azure | ||||||

My thought is God accepts us all as we are and you can go to church as an addict or saint. I think church would often be a help and would certainly go while you are being treated. You are saved by believing in Jesus Christ. John 3:16 its that easy.Then start to love your self and others.! That is what I was taught. | ||||||
3 | What is the meaning? | NT general | Jlalli | 230830 | ||
Thank you very much Bill for that response. I didnt know it was necessarily a controverisal verse it just seemd like I was being exhorted not to judge but when evil is present it is Ok and I took the not judging literal and it did not make sense to say " do not judge anyone " but in some cases it is acceptaple. So.... thank you that explantion it really helps to have an expert point to other scriptures to explain that in certain case where people are unwilling to listen or act in a way that pleases God it is fine to walk away in fact expexcted not to waste our time/life. So this scripture is mainly talking about evangalizing I suppose. Thanks again I really appreciate your help. John | ||||||

Bill, asked me to read the context of Matthew 7. and tell him what I think casting your pearls before swine means to humour him. well.... I wouldnt have asked the question if I hadnt read it . Christ is talking about not judging one another and then switches to do not give what is holy to dogs nor cast your pears before swine. I do not understand the metaphor. what is considered holy? and who are the dogs and swine? | ||||||
