1 | Church is kidnapped to Sodom! | James 2:8 | Ivory313 | 58093 | ||
Two years ago, a brother and a sister in our church had sexual relationship. Both are single. Later the girl was suffered from venereal disease. Two week ago, we discovered a married pastor has sexual relationship with a single sister in the church for one year. The pastor keeps leading praise and worship in many revival meeting. Does the bible have any advise when the church is in such situation? Actually, these thing disappoint me a lot. I have been long for a pure and perfect church for many years. But I think it is impossible now. The church is full of conflict, full of gossip, full of sin. | ||||||

Ivory313: May I add a welcome to you from the forum. I beleive Matthew 18: 12 to 35. This is thw exact action your body should take. No Pastor or preacher is doing anything for Christ under these circumstances. i am sure there are cluture differences from your place to ours, but the principle is still the same. My heart brakes for you and those who are enduring this pain and shame. I will remember you and how you deal with Gods; wisdom in these matters. agape, justme |

Dear Ivory313, I would agree with this last person, justme, who has replied to your situation. I would agree that Matt. 18 needs to be your first answer. It makes it very clear how we are to confront a brother or a sister is sin. You first need to go to them in private and confront them about the situation, if they repent you are to forgive them, and the matter is to be dropped. If he does not repent you are to take two or three faithful men with you, I would encourage that this be leaders, ie elders, deacons, head pastor, in this meeting. Once again if the brother repents he is to be restored to fellowship. However if he does not repent there is a third and final step that needs taken, and that is the sin needs brought to the attention of the entire congregation. Once again the scripture teaches us that if he repents we are to forgive him and restore him to fellowship. However if he does not repent he is to be treated like a non-believer. I hope this helps, and you and the church group you fellowship with are in my prayers. In Christ, Pastor Paul Is. 6:8 pastorpaul79@yahoo.com http://www.bluebonnetministries.50megs.com http://www.groups.yahoo.com/group/biblicallybornagain |
