Kevin Her shield is up against us-we are only beating our swords against her shield-But she will lower it to bring one of a different doctrine to her home for dinner on Christmas Day-contrary to the Bible. I think one can help her in time as I consider her to be worth the effort- if she will lower that shield-if not it seems to be a waste of time. But don't let me stop you from trying. Someone really did a number on her.
Judy: Where does the Bible say I have to go out of the world and can not have a worldly person to my house? I know it says not to eat with a 'so called brother' who is actively sinning and unrepentant ie:
"But now I have written unto you not to keep company if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such a one no not to eat. For what have I do to to judge them also that are without? do not ye judge them that are within? Them that are without God judgeth. Therefore put away from among yourselves that wicked person" (1 Cor 5:11,12)
The Mormons don't qualify because as you say Dean they believe false doctrine so they are not Christian brothers ... but wait a minute - what is a "railer?" (Strongs 3060) Mischief, abusive, railer, reviler, blackguard. Hmmm would street preachers qualify as 'railers and mischief makers?' I wonder what the Paul would say about climbing flag poles, waving Mormon underwear, and becoming a public curiosity? Grace and Peace, Judy

Judy:You are mixing up the world and the Church Dean. 2 Thess 3:14,15 is for the Church(brothers/sisters). If God dosen't want us to overcome in the midst of unbelievers thenwhy didn't he just take us all on to glory just as soon as we became born again? Whyleave us here as a remnant in the midst of a crooked and perverse generation?
He left us here as a witness! PREACH the GOSPEL!

I don't think TT should exist in this form-I believe there should be limits onthe length of time one of another doctrine should be allowed to stay here,2 thess 3:14. Those that walk disorderly are to be warned (admonish)...andhave no company with him- This was simply for not working and being abusybody-This is telling us to separate from the brethern-How much moreshould we separate from the false believers- those of a false doctrine todwell among the brethren.I agree that those on TT are not listen to the clear instruction of the Bible-but I don't think it is all due to D.Miller-for we all make choices. But there isa difference then what the Bible teaches and what Miller teaches. Puttingeverybody in room and believing that the Christian will win-is a mistake.That is why one is told not to allow them into you home-nor even wish themGod speed.Judy:You are mixing up the world and the Church Dean. 2 Thess 3:14,15 is for the Church(brothers/sisters).

Is Matt.16:12 also talking to the church-I am curious to see how you are going to twist this passage.Grace and Peace,Judy
