We are told by many people that it is wrong to judge - to a certain extent, that is indeed true - but we are to discern and we are to rebuke when another departs from the Word. I can love many people, who live openly with and in sin. I pray for them to see the light and that I might be a witness of the Truth - I do not condone the sin. The issue with these many churches is that they do condone the sin and have whitewashed it to be the ... truth. It is not, as God has told us in His Word. I wonder if this is the 'falling away' we are warned of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blessings I don't quite understand your point. What does it mean for the church to "accept them as they are"? It means the Great Apostasy is upon us I agree. Sin has become the norm in today's churches, claiming that we are not to judge. Acceptance in love is what is being preached. Even though we are to love all, we are to stand against sin at all cost. The problem is, that when we focus on just one sin, like homosexual, we forget about the others. Sin is sin and that will never change by how one may see one sin worst then another.
