It's refering to those that claim the name of Christ but continue in sin knowing they are sinning but not repenting of that sin and holding no remorse for that sin.

ok your saying you can judge the hearts of those in the church???

so then are these people that you are talking about in the church? and is the sin they are commiting any worse than stealing a pencil from work or whatever??

jesus said "whoever is without sin among you cast the first stone"

Well that's lttle ole Jessica put thru the mill and given the third degree. I believe the Lord Himself mentioned something about gossip, which is what this thread is all about, gossip plain and simple. Haven't you guys and gals got anything better to do? Are you all as pure and white as driven snow?

just wondering.

It is called General Discussion. That is what they are doing. Discussing someone, not gossipping. They are keeping it on the boards. Why did you come on this thread? To see what they were saying about Jessica Simpson, right? Chill out.

This is what the Scripture says:

1 Corinthians 5:9-13

9 I wrote to you in my epistle not to keep company with sexually immoral people. 10 Yet I certainly did not mean with the sexually immoral people of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. 11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone named a brother, who is sexually immoral, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or an extortioner--not even to eat with such a person. 12 For what have I to do with judging those also who are outside? Do you not judge those who are inside? 13 But those who are outside God judges. Therefore "put away from yourselves the evil person."

[Khristeeanos]

Christians are to make a righteous judgment and to not associate with people who are sexually immoral. I would say that with Jessica Simpson prostituting herself on MTV is being sexually immoral, wouldn't you?

We are to have NOTHING to do with them.

Light is only effective in the midst of darkness. Would i turn on a flashlight outside in the middle of the day? OF course not, for it holds no use in that context.

Keep in mind that Paul implores Christians not to be around people who claim the name of Christ and act sexually immoral. IT does not forbid us from being around those that are lost and immoral. If it did then Jesus and the disciples went against this scripture.

The Bible says we know people by their fruits.

So yes, the Bible does tell us where we can judge the hearts of people. It also says out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks.

We are not to judge a person's eternal status. We can guess the motives and look at the fruit, however it is not up to us to determine if the person is a believer or not. Likewise, it is not up to us to determine that person's stance with God.

I may seem like I am being judgmental, but my words just come across as harsh. The Bible is clear that a person who is a Christian will behave differently than the people who aren't Christians.

That is basically all I am saying. Maybe I should open a thread on it sometime in the next few days.

Who are you to be telling me to chill out There is a big difference between maligning some one and general discussion. What business is it of yours what this person, who, incidentally, I had never heard of before this thread, does with her life. This is a christian notice board, not a cheap tabloid.

You need peace in your life. What business is it of anyones to discuss anything on these boards? No one implied that this was a cheap tabloid. Wow, you are a bitter person. If I want to tell you to chill out, I will. It is on you to do what you will with it.
