Wow....well. I take back what I said, but WOW...not unethical?

I wonder if it would be unethical of me to try to convince that persons friend to stop being his or her friend and be mine?

Well, I'm done beating this dead horse.

Good luck with that.

i guess i just don't view things like you do....and i assume thats ok?

my answer is NO. its that friends choice to be my friend or not. if you choose to sway them by doing something immoral or enthical....thats between you and God. i will not be a party to it....for or against.

again....i have too much faith in my Dad to think that He will allow me to be forsaken...or not have my very best interest at heart...and so long as i follow Him...then all things work together....even the things I think are wrong, bad, unethical, etc...He makes it all work for my good....and i love that about Him.

Is it unethical for that person to try to sway your friend to not be your friend?

Why would you not be a party to it if it is not unethical or immoral?

It could all be effectively mananged if everyone received a mark in their right hand or in their forehead that identified them and the proper church to which they "belong."

No one would be allowed to attend a church or to sing in a choir unless they received the mark. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the church attendance mark: it is the number of the man (pastor), and his number is inversely proportional to the square root of the number of his choir.

There is nothing wrong with attending or visiting other churches nor is it said they "belong"...is it ethical to practice what we've been talking about?

I didn't say lawful. Unethical. The fact that you agree it is not something you should be engaged in tells me you think there is something wrong with it
