For exemple, when my brother has sex with his girlfriend should I tell him that it is a sin? I am afraid he will go to hell because of it. I want him to be saved. If he goes to hell will it be my fault because I didn't say anything to him? At the same time the Bible say we should not judge. But you want people you love to go to Heaven so what to do when they do something wrong? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not then sleeping with his GF is not important, he just needs Jesus right were he is at. If he does claim to be a Christian, then..... 1) Ezek 3:18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Ezek 3:19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul. Ezek 3:20 Again, When a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die: because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thine hand. Ezek 3:21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also thou hast delivered thy soul. 2) Ezek 33:6 But if the watchman see the sword come, and blow not the trumpet, and the people be not warned; if the sword come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand. 3) 1Cor 5:11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat. 1Cor 5:12 For what have I to do to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? 1Cor 5:13 But them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person. 4) Gal 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. I would say yes, tell him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What it does really mean? I think Gal 6:1 answers that well; When you tell someone about there sin, make sure you are not sinning the same sin! Plus there is different type of judging.. for example: You see an old run down house with a satellite dish on it. Ones thought might me, "there priority is messed up": that type of judging is sin! BTW: there are different branches of the same sin.... for example; you are walking dangerously if you tell someone it is sin to sleep with there GF, but you might be looking at porn.

At least you will have planted a seed. If you correct him, be sure you aren't in any way, doing the same sin: Matthew 7:3-4 3 Why do you look at the speck in your brother’s eye, but fail to notice the beam in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ while there is still a beam in your own eye?… BTW, Welcome to Worthy!
