Bible Question: Is it bibical for a church to require a female member who became pregant out of wedlock to come before the church and ask forgiveness or her name will be removed from the church role. She has confessed her sin to God and ask forgiveness and has confronted her family and admitted she had done wrong and she knows it is not right. |
Bible Answer: dka While there may be scripture about us being one body that could be misconstrued to bring about this type of practice. I cannot think of a place in the bible where this practice has taken place or even a teaching in order to be a guide for us. The question then arises. Has this taken place before only with other girls in the same position or is this a common practice where anyone in the congregation having committed any kind of sin had to do the same? Because Jesus did say Joh 8:7. Setonahill |
