Hi Humbled, Good response. First you respectfully gave credit to ominous for his/her right to raise the issues he/she did. Then you properly redirected the issue back to the truth. Well done. In your post, you brought up the issue of beginning a dialogue on rebuking a brother. I think that would be a good discussion even for those of us who "think" we might know the biblical teachings in this area. May I begin the dialague by starting with the following bible reference? Matt 18:15-18 15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy brother. 16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established. 17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican. 18 Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. KJV Now the only way to do this properly on the forum would be some form of private instant message and/or email which would have to be made available. I believe the rest of this process was played out well regarding a resent ongoing interaction between several forum members and one offender. I had considered calling for a halting of the dialogue with a certain formum member (of which I was at least equally involved). I considered this because I believed the above process had reached the point of "binding". Afterall, even a Jedi can be bound if he refuses to hear two or more witnesses of the church. What good can come out of the continuing bickering? The next question might be, if the one is not a "brother" in the first place, how should he/she be handled? Jeff |

Here is another one I would like to discuss. 1 Timothy 5:20 Sorry about the first response. I got a little trigger happy before I was ready. Anyway, I would like to hear some thoughts on Deuteronomy 19:15 and 1 Timothy 5:20 in regards to this issue. Also, I was actually looking into this issue when addressing ominous and I kept being drawn back to 2 Corinthians 4 for some reason. I'm still looking into this one but if you have any thoughts on this chapter in regards to this issue I would also like to here them as well. One question I do have, is 1 Timothy 5:20 referring to a brother in Christ? I'll go ahead and lay this on the line so you and who ever else decides to get involved will know what you have gotten into. I am here to learn. Not to teach. I have been a Christian for less then 6 months and have very little background in Bible study. However, it is without a doubt my favorite pass time and I can't get enough so I am eager to learn. I will probably have more questions then thoughts. |
