Bible Question: My friend was looking for a passage in the Bible that sayes that you should not let non belivers into your house. I could not find anything of the sort. can anyone help me? God Bless |
Bible Answer: Greetings Dabmci One of the greatest commandments is to "Love our neighbor as ourself" I believe that this would include showing kindness to my neighbor who knows not Christ. If my way of life with my family reflects Christ, than we can spread the gospel by inviting him into our house. The verse you may be looking for has to do with those who would come into your house teaching false doctrine. "If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God speed:" (2 John 1:10)KJV In other words if we cannot allow a false teacher to influence our household. In addition, we do not even bid him Goodbye since this shows us having fellowship with "his evil deeds" 2 John 1:11 Hope this helps In Christ Robert |
