Subject: Church is kidnapped to Sodom! |
Bible Note: Timothy and Titus speaks to forming new churches and Jesus is the authority on repentence and forgiveness. Paul also spoke DIRECTLY to these kinds of circumstances, making no exceptions nor placing any conditions, for the forgiveness and the welcoming back into the congregation. So that the man wouldn't be brought too low and depressed--what would his condition be if he was trounced as you would prefer? Just as low and depressed as any man could be. You might also take a gander at Paul's writings on living by the Law. If you want to be held accountable under one of them, you'd better be ready to live under all of them, because you're giving up Grace for it. And when you choose the Law over Grace, you die. |
