Re: BK fires Pentecostal for not wearing pants

Let's really muddy this up some!

What if the owners of Fries Restaurant Management, the BK owners there, were CHristian people. Wouldn't this girl's lawsuit then be a clear violation of scripture since we are not supposed to sue fellow CHristians in secular court?

ON the flip side, at least this girl and her parents weren't being typical suing dirtbags and attempting to get millions of dollars from the company via lawsuit.

If they were baptized believers that were under the leadership of a Godly pastor, I honestly don't think this'd be an issue but yes that would be a violation of scripture.

Re: BK fires Pentecostal for not wearing pants

Is there not a scripture about taking matters before a judge when we are wronged? Paul appealed when he was wrongly accused.

Exclamation Re: BK fires Pentecostal for not wearing pants

it concerns me that some would feel that we should not go to court to defend ourselves. maybe that is why school prayer was removed, maybe that is why we have abortion? we just misused the scripture and maybe on our way of becoming like the jews of nazi germany. Are you ready for the concentration camps?

I never said that. I said we should not take disputes between believers to the world's courts. Not to sound super spiritual or anything... but it looks bad... two saints from the same church suing each other.

Re: BK fires Pentecostal for not wearing pants

This story is one-sided at this point...

In a lawsuit the first to speak seems right,
until someone comes forward and cross-examines. NIV Proverbs 18:17

Re: BK fires Pentecostal for not wearing pants

You should not sue an unbeliever, either;
otherwise, what is "when someone asks for your
shirt, give him your coat, also" paraphrased?

And my kids pray in school,
and I don't practice abortion...
The Jews in Germany were under
a curse, and had fire testing coming;
it was even prophecied upon them.

If God decides to smelt you, no law
will stop it, and it is ignorance to
believe otherwise, sorry.

Go ahead, sue away!
