1 | How does the above relate to serving | Rom 1:1 | humbledbyhisgrace | 189978 | ||
Morning stjohn, Yes, the problem is in regards to giving them another job to do. In my opinion, there is no "menial job" in the body of Christ. After all, each member has been gifted to serve in the body and each one serves the King of Kings. No one gifts themselves and it is not our place to gift the members of the body. But God Himself pours out His grace on us and places us in the body where He desires (Ephesians 4:7, 1 Corinthians 12:18). The view from scripture clearly places importance on each member of the body as should we (1 Corinthians 12:18-27 and Ephesians 4:15-16) You said "In regard to gifts, certainly you are not saying that someone who has a gift of preaching or teaching, and is in adultery and it is known, that they should be aloud to continue? Matthew 18:15-17 seems to disagree with your statement" Absolutely I am not saying that! That contradicts everything I have said. Sorry if I have not been clear. Steve |

Amen! and Amen! :-) Thanks Steve! I was beginning to think we were reading different books! hahaha... Sorry. Next time I'll try to answer a question without adding every possible scenario, again sorry, I was at fault for that. I was just thinking, Well, If you shun them, and they still want to hang around, and want a job to do, I just thought, well, what if.... But "what if" questions are not very good ones, they just seem to muddy the water. thanks for taking time, and clearing it up brother Steve....;-) By the way, I don't put less importance on menial jobs, I've done my share of cleaning up around baby's, and grand baby's, nothing more important then keeping a safe clean environment for the ones we love ;-) God bless you Steve. John |
