Bible Question: Based on Matthew chapter 18 versus 15 through 20. Should I confront the man my biological sister is having an affair with. He is divorced and she is separated. Her marriage is over but family is beginning to accept this new man. I feel I cant and feel I should follow the above mentioned scripture. However, Ive been told to allow God to deal with him and was directed to Romans chapter 12 versus 17 through 21. Id like Godly counsel on this matter from folks not directly involved. I will mention that all people involved are professing christians. Thanks |
Bible Answer: Gal 6:1-2 and also, Pro 18:19 Paul says, "If a man is caught in a trespass." A paruptema is the Greek word, a fall. The bible talks about sin as a fall. The bible talks about sin as a stumbling, tripping up, that's simply a term for sin. Someone is in sin. You know it. It says, You who are spiritual restore such a one. The responsibility for dealing with sin in the church belongs to those that are spiritual that's very important. The responsibility for confrontation belongs to those who are spiritual. The spiritual have to go to the fleshly or carnal. You who are spiritual, who are they? Who are the spiritual? Being spiritual simply means you are walking in the spirit. A spiritual person is simply an obedient believer. A spirit controlled, spirit filled, selfless believer walking in obedience to the word of God and the will of God in the power of the spirit of God. Pray much brother before you confront. |
