its a horrible road to nowhere but hell

@A Search for Roche's Rifle I take it you don't agree with my interpretation/explanation Sir?

not exactly

Fair enough I can only go off what I read in scripture. I don't claim to understand everything brother.

@A Search for Roche's Rifle Would like to hear your thoughts on this so I understand it properly.

Now if I see a brother committing adultery and tell him thats wrong brother. Scripture says do not do this, then since I am not committing adultery it is fine to say that because im not doing that sin
Hope this makes sense Friend
THAT is disturbing to me...

you see a brother committing Adultery you BETTER admonish him immediately!

@A Search for Roche's Rifle Thats precisely what I said I would do, brother?

But we can not judge them, God judges all we can do correct them using doctrine

correct?

No.. not. Fully correct..God is the ultimate judge yes.. but when we see brothers and sisters sinning openly We judge them With the WORD OF GOD amd hope to get them to repent amd get back on track

My understanding was we were not to judge a brother for a sin that we ourselves were doing since we would be hypocrites.

Its not just a correction

I see OK

WERE doing is not doing in the present

Thanks for correcting me

Should have said we are not to judge someone else if we are guilty of the same sin

If you are not committing adultery and have repented. You MUST admonish your brother for the offense

At that point we would pass them on to another elder to correct them then?

One who is not guilty of that sin

Its in your past. And forgiven

OK,. so we are on the same page, I just did not type it right.....I dont judge someone else for a sin I am currently doing which is what I meant

You could pass them on if they DO NOT repent

Misunderstanding I think is all Roche

I see.. ok. Gotcha

It sounded like you were saying that because you have committed adultery in the past and you see somebody in the present committing adultery even though you have been forgiven and have repented and I’m not committing it presently that you don’t have the right to say anything to your brother that you see committing adultery which is wrong

Go voice Roche, when I type I screw everything up.? Give me a call

No, not in the past....Currently committing. If it is a sin I am actively engaged in I have NO right to judge them as I would be a hypocrite. Sorry if I was unclear brother.

👍✨

At that point I would refer them to another elder

Who was not guilty

This is why I hate text, I tend to typo and not get my point across. Voice is best for me lol

If it’s a sin you’re actively engaged in you have no right to judge them I would agree you would be a hypocrite but instead of referring them to an elder I would hold his hand and go to the elder and you can make yourself as well as him if both of you are committing the offense

Valid point

Adultery and fornication ruins many familys and relationships and the kids that get in the way dont understand.. what has happened

Agreed, I sent you a direct message Roche

Temptation is around every corner.. sexual sin is alluring and way too easy to fall for

I agree I have to be on guard constantly

To protect myself

Why did God give us such temptation, if we were made in his image?

Why
