Bible Question (short): Jesus closes the door? |
Question (full): Dear bjanko, And how did our Lord treat Gentiles and tax-gatherers? I well understand the need for church discipline. I also know that Jesus seemed to think that the sinners were capable of repentance. If I correctly understand your comments, Paul left a door open for reconciliation and repentance, but Jesus closed the door? I appreciate your comments. In Christ Jesus. |
