1st Corinthians 5:12-13, Paul said, "For what have I to do with judging outsiders (Non-believers)?

Is it not those INSIDE THE CHURCH WHOM YOU ARE TO JUDGE?

God judges those outside (The church). "Purge the evil that is among you (In church)."

This is for the sake of the one being judged to save his soul from hell in love.

We are to judge in love and no other intentions.

 

The verses here wrongly quoted are about the improper intentions in the judging and evil from a  hateful and unloving heart of the judger with evil intentions.

God is not a God who opposes Himself so all verses about judging have to find harmony and unity in context as God does not lie, but man does.

The Spirit of God has departed from the churches. A new spirit has taken hold, a spirit of slumber. No judgment,  everyone is saved ( cause we said the magic prayer), comedian Pastors, build a bigger, better building .... anyone preaching the  building "not made with hands, eternal in the heavens"? Yeah, Bible study...4 people show up. 

Ichabod ( 1Sa. 4:21).

I like a good bible study. Is there a lot of indepth bible study here? There is isn't there? Think i might try the waters there.

I had to hide several posts that were nothing but bickering, off topic and personal attacks.

We are better than that.

Christ said a kingdom divided against its self will fall and the Church is clearly divided. 

For me some red flags. Well I know ...oh and had to look up the word ..thanks JohnD! HAHA (playing) then its oh ok. I know the simple meaning of the word. The red flags "some sort of Jesus". Then "Doesn't the omission of such teaching by the mainstream Church tell you something?"

Its truth yet not. Are there "Christian"groups that do this exact thing based on "Yeshua/Jesus came in the flesh died on the cross for the worlds sin was buried rose the 3rd day is the only way to the Father"? Yep so what are we focused on?

The other about Churches and teaching. How in the world would anyone know this? Well there are over 29million Churches and 52 weeks in a year.. no one would know. Yet this kind of thing has been used for things like "they don't have any altar calls "any more", no one preaches about Jesus returning "any more"" On and on. The truth is which applies to all is what are you focused on?

And a truth many will not like is ..sorry who are you? And He Himself gave some to be apostles, some prophets, some evangelists, and some pastors and teachers, for the equipping of the saints for the work of ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ.

See some try to walk in a office they were not called to nor have the authority from GOD. If so then where are these "Ecumenicism" groups? And whats not being preached.. praise GOD in part I can agree on but.. where are those preachers? None are here.... Do we see? Not edifying them or building them up in any way. For me a KEY that ALL should use or type or speak is "lets pray for them". We love them we want to help.. thats what I would want.

So I don't see how you put these together. From the start the sweet holy Spirit said "But among the people there were also false prophets, just as there will be false teachers among you." There were....there will be.  How does it this help those that will never hear this?

Oh from what I read when Christ comes and sets foot on the earth He gathers the nations that just came out of the great tribulation where after Chapter four in Rev is not talked about hmm. Anyway those are the ones that are split. I wont be there.. unless I fall away walk away from Him and miss him when we get caught up.

Be like our Father.. speak words of life.. call those things that be not as though they were. He always sees something that always applies here... the heart. So forgive me if I offended. And another *ism word... wow so many of them huh. Oh I am? No one

I get the feeling I would be treated pretty harshly if I stepped in.

I think you have stepped in, @Arrabon We will watch for any harsh treatment of you but it's a two way street. Personal attacks are not tolerated as some find out when warnings go unheeded and they are exiled to Mars Hill under Mod Review.

Thank you for the encouraging words, brother. This is what we all need: to remind one another, to correct one another, and most of all to encourage each other in the Lord.
