They are closer to being gnostics (there is no sin just do what you want to)than christian.

As much as you appear to be all-knowing with some people's situation and "calling it like you see it," no wonder some people have a bad taste about church.

You sound like the kind that would preach to the choir instead of reach for the crier.

Just for the record, there are people who have been hurt and there are others who have caused the hurt. Whether we know all the details is up to that person either way. Anyone smart enough won't jump to a conclusion like you have and, instead, would ask more questions to get a clearer picture...

Has the pastor stood on the platform and said "Do not have anything to do with such'n'such person"? Avoidance and shunning are 2 separate issues.
I think you conciseness is speaking to you. You should listen. Maybe conviction?

I suppose that could be one way to look at it.

I'm still honestly curious regarding the subject of shunning all the same, and curious to hear other people's experiences.

Ah so much to say so little time, some of the response have been forseable from the get go. The judgemental pharises that think they are the only ones going to heaven because they think they have all the rules down pat. Buckle your seat belts every one. Last night I was talking to a Diest couple as we have been having some very good conversations about God and Christianity. First becuase of some of my (backsliden views) as REV calls them. I have been able to start to get through to this friend after knowing him for 20 years. Trust me he has seen the two facedness of socalled Christianity and wanted nothing to do with it.

Second one of the things stated yesterday was an iterview on the Trinity broadcasting network. When the new Christianity was being discused. How they are teaching people to love one another and be more accepting of differance of opinions. One of these ministers said "this teaching comes straight form the pit." Teaching to love one another and be accepting is from Satan? Maybe every Christian needs to comit to heart I Cor chapter 13, and read and understand Romans chapter 14.

My opinion? not that any one cares but that is fine by me. Anyone that has the attitude shown forth like Rev has on this thread is not Christian and does not have the spirit of God.
