1 | What does1 Cor. 5:11 mean? | 1 Cor 5:1 | joel k | 104708 | ||
greeting to the family of believers. My friend ... please take what I say with a smile and know that God loves you, too. this scripture 1st corinthians 5:11 has been used by many of you who claim Christ as yours and yours to judge those who draw near to him. I would suppose that there are ten's of thousands of sinners who found the Love of Christ in their hearts,and could not find it at Church so they wont go back. (and now i cry with her... her bleeding heart is now stepped on.) The weary sinners come looking for rest (because Jesus promised them this at the cross) looking for Salvation and Love some of them found it for the first time and others found it available to them again after they saw that the TRUTH is Love. And He offers the sinner a LIFE and promises us He is the WAY. Now we come to the Lord's House beaten torn, addicts, with guilt, lust and shame, proclaiming aloud before the family of believers, seeking prayers, councel, healing and repentence. And for her obidience to Christ call to the sinner to return, she recieves harsh judgement, intolerance, humility and even stared at. I'm sure she regrets giving her number to some one who is so intrusive. How dare you judge them saying " I doubt that they are a believer based on their own admision of being a believer" if they did not believe why are they at church? The 5th chapter of 1 Corinthians was written by Paul as a reply to the church he and Timothy had begun. He is the judge of the practices of these people but only within the walls of the church, as he clearly states. It had been reported that a man among them was having his fathers wife. This is still the subject in the 11th verse. And it has nothing to do with the sinners who Christ calls into HIS house for repentance. may I suggest this ... pray for forgivness, claim ignorance, humble yourself, then print a copy of this page and include it with your letter of apology to her and if posible never exalt yourself like this again. Then Praise God for the Truth is in Christ, Jesus. Amen. |

Joel, You are the one judging me now....I found this web-site and was happy to find it. But the harshness of your letter to me made me pity others that you have responded to. I came with an honest question and with humility not in judgement of her But with what she has told me on her own about herself. I treated this lady with respect and encouragement and we prayerd together. She wanted to be my friend and we exchanged numbers. She is living with an alcoholic-violent and nonbelieving boyfriend as well. I am not judging her. I just want to obey what God's word says. It says this for a reason does it not?... But asking a question concerning if in fact she is a believer then if she is living with a boyfriend in sexual sin and unrepentent, the bible is clear that we are not to associate with such a one. Does God's say this or not. It certainly does. When I saw her at church I greeted her and her boyfriend with kindness and she looked away. I am sure that she was still feeling guilty about her situation and did not want me to see her eyes. Don't you think? Joel you responded very harshly to me and have misunderstood my question totally. I am glad that God knows my heart and my desire to obey his Word. I am sorry that you misinterpreted my question. You need a little more gentleness in your spirit. For the fruit of the Spirit is Love Joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness. faitfhfulness, and self -control. |
