Most still do. I get that the original ideology of that was with the hopes that they would find a saved Christian at church and therefore obtain a worthy spouse. However, the Devil frequents the church also, quite often, and not all attendees are truly saved. I have witnessed this to a point where almost the entire church worries more on who is "dating " who more than God or Jesus at church. Can't try and let them see their flaws either, they just turn on you. No one likes to look at the truth in themselves.

She continued to be defiant til she eventually left and went out into the world Unfortunately most believe they can right a wrong by calling out someone else's wrong. I know of a similar situation in a church I visit from time to time. The mother and daughter will say "well if the men were saved they wouldn't look" or if the elder woman complained "oh they are just jealous of the fact that their husbands are looking, it's not our fault they can't control their husbands." I'm like as a Christain, do you believe that church is an appropriate place to cause conflict? Does Jesus want you to help in the temptations of the Devil? Does he want you to be the cause of someone else's demise into sin? People really refuse to see their part in a situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think at first he should be somewhat kind with his approach but if she continues to dress provocatively then a harsher approach may be necessary. I vote for the scene on the left.

The day after 'going forward' I had to appear in court for a previous drug charge and was sentenced thirty days. None of them came to visit. When I got out I came down to LA to visit my parents and got involved in a Christian ministry home. After about 5 months, I hitch hiked back up to Wenatchee, went to the same Church, stood up in the morning service and gave a brief account of my testimony. The pastor confronted me out in the narthex (oops: foyer) and the only thing he asked was 'if I was going to submit.?' Later, yes, I found out most of them were running around with Mumford, Basham and Derek Prince cassettes. It just didn't sit right with me. Sadly, the cult of Shepherding Movement survives in a hybrid of Eastern Orthodoxy and Evangelicalism called Evangelical Orthodox. One of lower leaders from Shepherding Movement founded it. The leaders were indeed Derek Prince, Paul Petrie, Bob Mumford, and Peter Done. Many of them repented, but only Bob Mumpherd reimbursed people who had moved from their homes to start churches. He went beyond just a public apology, and tried to heal the financial wounds at least. Derek Prince and Bob Mumford were first to admit it was a wrong movement, and they said, "we got so close to the truth, discipleship, that the devil derailed it."

Exactly my point. We are suppose to help each other in righteousness not tempt each other in sinfulness. In this case neither is right. My opinion.
