=============================
I would think if you start at first Peter, 3:15 and read from there you
will get the idea. A large part of winning people to Christ is discussion.
If you are going to hide in a monastery you will stay away from SOME
sinners, but you will be useless to Christ. He might as well take you home
the moment you are saved and make room for someone with a heart for the
lost. If you are filled with the Spirit, and in Christ, you cannot separate
yourself from the lost. You need to know how they think. They need to know
how you think. They need to see Jesus in you. Evidently that was not
expected of the average believer in the old testament verses you quoted.
They had priests to tell the lost that they were lost, but those days are
over; we are the priests. Our job is to go into all the world, to associate
with sinners.
If you are going in order to be one of them, looking for approval from
them, that would be very wrong, but going to learn what they believe, and
lead them to the truth is commanded. In the process, eat the meat and spit
out the bones brother.
