How should a christian be treated when he/she subccumbs(gives in) to sin and is discovered?
The situation which involved the Ambassador disturbed me greatly. I will not repeat what is rumored to have happened, I will however, share that I can only imagine the pain that his family is experiencing. Why was it necessary to embarass him or his family? What happened to the church that forgives and counsels one to until repentance is reached? What happened to the love that we as a church were instructed to display one for another?

The situation with The Ambassador disturbed me also. We really don't know the full story and I dont think it matters. What bothered me was how his "bothers" publicly embarrassed him. If they were really his brothers, I feel they would have been there to hold him down in his time of great need. Where is the love. I Could never do my family like that.

Me either. I know that God deals with all of us secretly. But even when He(God) sent Nathan to David. After David had put Bathsheba's husband on the front line. Nathan delt with him privately. David did a big one..but God was setting the example for how things should go. How we should treat those of the Household of Faith..

The church is "suppose" to be there like a spiritual hospital, To lift you up when you are feeling down or have done something wrong and you have repented for. The members of the church are "suppose" to embrace you and not embarrass you. Cause we all need each other to hold ourselves accountable to the word of GOD. That is just how I feel about that.

We love to take scripture and twist it. And we wonder why people don't want to be apart of the christian movement. Because we are some hypocritical. We teach that GOD is love and that we serve a good of love but where is the love in putting your brother on blast before the whole world.

Yes, that is a good way to look at it. The scriptures do teach us that the Kingdom of God is to be a spiritual hospital. We are to be the nurses, orderlies, and doctors. Using the gifts of the spirit to encourage, build up, and instruct those that are in need of help. We are to cast out devils from them that are being oppressed of the devil and restore them that have been damaged by the world.

There you go! I like how you but it even though I said the same thing. I agree with you 100%. We all need to be there for one another at our low point and high point. Like the scripture says.

I think that we shouldn't show a person who has given into sin any hatred and shouldn't gossip about them, but instead show them a loving, caring attitude. we as Christians shouldn't run the person away from church but just be there for them. Then eventually they will repent because not only God loves but the people of the church loves them and they will still feel welcome and that along will make them get their selves together.

Daily Bible Study: Principles of Kingdom Living #1 Authority Of The Word
LESSON 1 THE AUTHORITY OF THE WORD By Dr. George Watkins (1) What is the Bible? The Bible is the Word of God. The source of the Bible is God, and all scripture is given by the inspiration of God. Inspiration means that the Word was “God breathed”, or divinely created. God purposed that it be beneficial to us as a governing or guiding factor in our lives. (2 Timothy 3:16-17) says that “All scriptu
Devotional: Awaiting Formation(s) In Your Life
Cave formations are slowly formed by water moving over the rock’s surface, depositing layers of minerals over a period of time. Although they have not taken as long to form as evolutionists claim,1 a casual observer of an active stalactite or stalagmite may only understand it to be nothing much more than a pointy, wet rock. However, if you could have the opportunity to observe the beginning yea

Sony developing Transformer Prime rival that runs Windows 8?
There appears to be three schools of thought when it comes to how you should interact with a tablet. The first, and most obvious, is touch-only. Then there are touch plus stylus offerings like the Samsung Galaxy Note and Asus Eee Pad MeMo. Finally, there are convertibles like the Asus Transformer Prime. It’s that last category that Sony appears to be eyeing up, though they’re going to go the Windo

It is like the precious ointment upon the head that ran down upon the beard even Aaron’s beard: that went down to the skirts of his garments; as the dew of Hermon, and as the dew that descended upon the mountains of Zion: for there the LORD commanded the blessing, even life for evermore.

Lesson #2: Conditions for Receiving Forgiveness (Part 1) We have learned that all people have committed sin, bringing upon themselves the penalty of eternal punishment. But by the grace of God, Jesus died as the sacrifice for the sins of mankind. He thereby made salvation available to all people (Mark 16:15,16; Luke 24:47; Titus 2:11; 1 Timothy 2:4,6; 2 Peter 3:9; Hebrews 2:9; John 3:16; Act
Should Voters Apply a Religious Test to Candidates

He also has spent time in the business world, has an impeccable personal life, a deep understanding of the issues, and is eloquent in speech and moderate in temperament. Sounds like a dream candidate, right? But imagine that, a
