1 | that I might gain themthat are without | Luke 14:23 | Dhaniei Zewditu | 218936 | ||
Dear Carol, NO, it does not line up. Mat 5:22 But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. Mat 5:23 Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee; Mat 5:24 Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. If there is a person who is angry with you, whether from something real or preceived, you are told to approach this person and make it right. If this person will not respond, then you are freed up, you have done what God has told you to do - walk in with your head held high. (The same holds true if you are the one having a real or preceived problem with that person - fix it.) If this is a really serious problem we have these verses: Mat 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. Mat 18:16 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. Mat 18:17 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. But, no, slinking around in God's house to avoid someone certainly DOES NOT line up with God's Word. Dhaniei |

Dhaniei, Welcome to the forum it's good to have you with us. While Matt 18:15-17 can be used to an extent in this situation this really applies more in matters of Church dicsipline. In Him, lionheart |

Shalom Lionheart, Point taken and agreed upon with you. The questioner was not too clear on what the problem is, who may be at fault, whether this is just another member or someone in authority, so I choose to include both passages - trying to cover all bases. :o) Thanks for the welcome. Dhaniei |
