Matthew 7
Do not think that I came to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I did not come to abolish but to fulfill. 18 For truly I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not the smallest letter or stroke shall pass from the Law until all is accomplished.
Jesus made a clarification about the Law in Matthew 15
Peter said, “Explain the parable to us.”
16 “Are you still so dull?” Jesus asked them. 17 “Don’t you see that whatever enters the mouth goes into the stomach and then out of the body? 18 But the things that come out of a person’s mouth come from the heart, and these defile them. 19 For out of the heart come evil thoughts—murder, adultery, sexual immorality, theft, false testimony, slander. 20 These are what defile a person; but eating with unwashed hands does not defile them.”

Luke 17
17 He said to His disciples, “It is inevitable that stumbling blocks come, but woe to him through whom they come! 2 It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were thrown into the sea, than that he would cause one of these little ones to stumble. 3 Be on your guard! If your brother sins, rebuke him; and if he repents, forgive him. 4 And if he sins against you seven times a day, and returns to you seven times, saying, ‘I repent,’ forgive him.”
How many of those who claim to be Christian around here would rebuke a fellow Christian due to sexual immorality?
Jesus instructs you to do so.
Originally posted by @rajk999Asking people who claim to be Christian is not a problem. I would not bother asking those who do not. They are purely God's concern. Jesus tells us to rebuke believers who sin. Not following Jesus' instruction is a sin. In essence you claim I should sin.
Stating what Jesus said is one thing and an admirable one too. But asking people whether or not they actually do what Jesus says is just you being nosy, and out of place.
Originally posted by @eladarThere is no instruction from Jesus to go chase after people [even brothers] who commit sins.

The passage you quoted pertains to sins against you... YOU [ie a personal matter between you and your brother], and it is about the number of times that you are to forgive if your brother repents .. basically forgive your brother indefinitely
You on the other hand are like the Ayatollah, looking for reasons to cut off someones hand or foot for their sins.
Originally posted by @rajk999I am not chasing after people. I am asking those like Suzi who have lambasted me for calling sin a sin. Jesus says to rebuke sin as I have.

Of course you are not a Christian so I doubt you understand.
Originally posted by @eladarJesus said no such thing. Please quote the passage. Your Luke 17:3 passages says this:

Take heed to yourselves: If thy brother trespass against thee, rebuke him; and if he repent, forgive him.
(Luke 17:3 KJV)
IF YOUR BROTHER TRESPASS AGAINST YOU.
Did anyone here on RHP commit homosexuality against YOU ?

This means that I will forgive you and Suzi after you repent.
Originally posted by @rajk999No, I am speaking the truth and pointing out that each time you think you have caught me on a technicality you really haven't.
You are a kind of dummy. you got caught with your pants misquoting Christ.
Nowhere did he say to go correct those who sin.
Pretty much every active poster. Who claims to follow the Bible at all bears false witness against me by claiming the Bible lies because the spirit within them says otherwise.
Everyone has sinned against me so technically speaking falls under your gotcha attempt.
Sorry to burst your bubble. Actually I am not and I will be glad to lead you to Christ should you ever wish. Same goes for Suzi and Sonship too.
