To be non-Christian is to be non-Godly-are we here in the room non-Godly ( put your hands down Mormons-I wasn't only talking to you)?Could Christ run a non-Christ like board. We are not even supposed to wish the ungodly "good luck" or" I hope every thing turns out well for you"-now we can all sit down together indefinitely?   Dean, I don’t wish to keep David Miller from responding here. But I do wonder why you think we should not be in the same room as the non-godly. Romans tells us not to associate with a so-called Brother who is ungodly. 1 Corinthians 5 11   But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called (1) brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or (2) an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one.  But read Matthew 9 10   Then it happened that as Jesus was reclining at the table in the house, behold, many tax collectors and sinners came and were dining with Jesus and His disciples. 11   When the Pharisees saw this, they said to His disciples, "(1) Why is your Teacher eating with the tax collectors and sinners?" 12   But when Jesus heard this, He said, "It is not (2) those who are healthy who need a physician, but those who are sick.   David never is “non-Christian” just because he makes a place for Believers to debate truth issues with non-believers. I agree with David that all truth leads to the Truth; Jesus the Way, the Truth and the Life. Not all gospel preaching is done on the street corners. We all have different callings; some on the streets, some on the internet, and some by rubbing shoulders with non-believers in our daily lives.    I agree that we should not wish “good luck” because Believers in Christ don’t believe in luck.  But I can tell a non-believer that I hope things turn out well, because I know that “well” would mean they eventually come to know Jesus as Lord. I had one neighbor that came to pray with me to receive Jesus after I had told her that I was praying for her daughter to be healed. Some come to Him through open rebuke; others come to Him as a result of experiencing His kindness. Romans 1122   Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's (1) kindness, (2) if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also (3) will be cut off.  What do you think?
