Originally posted by robbie carrobieI didn't say it wasn't scriptural. Do you think you could go back now and actually READ my post instead of completely ignoring it? I provided two verses which referenced it.
So it takes an atheist to acknowledge that disfellowshipping is scriptural, shame on those who profess to be Christians, putting bad for good and good for bad!
And I said it IS biblical, but it's not always Christian. Which was, you know, my point.
Originally posted by robbie carrobieFor the last time, robbie, we know it is biblical. What many of us are saying is that it is not entirely Christian, especially since it is man doing the judging and not God, and thus it IS a "questionable practice", especially in these latter days.
No I cannot but I do care to talk about disfellowshipping being entirely Biblical if you are interested.
Originally posted by Suzianneyou are not making any sense, you will explain how a practice that is clearly detailed in the Christian scriptures the intent of which is too keep the Christian congregation clean and free from corrupting influence is now in your words, not Christian.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieIs the gist of that shunning thing that someone who leaves is now corrupt?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieCould you at least answer PK's question? Or do you not understand the verse? Wouldn't surprise me at all.
many teachings, apostasy, being disruptive, unruly etc if you notice the scripture in Titus they are to be given a warning and only after they have refused to abide by the rules of the congregation they are to be shunned.
As I read it, PK, the 'teaching' and/or 'doctrine' referred to in 2 John 1:10 is "the doctrine of Christ" as referenced in the preceding verses of 2 John 1. Basically he means all the things Christ taught while He was here on earth, but he outlines some of them, perhaps the most important bits, in the verses of 2 John 1.

Originally posted by robbie carrobieBecause it is *clear* to me, and must be even to you, that some "Christian" congregations, especially these days, are not entirely "Christian" to begin with. No man is without temptation, and many in positions of apparent authority in some churches have been led astray themselves. I'd think this much would be obvious to you.

Originally posted by Suziannethe apostle Paul outlines rather clearly that it can refer to practices as well as teaching, how this can evade you is like wow, just wow.
