So we should not call one a fornicator Even if they are engaged in public?
So you would disagree with Bunyon?
"In my preaching of the Word, I took special notice of this one thing, namely, that the Lord did lead me to begin where His Word begins with sinners; that is, to condemn all flesh, and to open and allege that the curse of God, by the Law, doth belong to and lay hold on all men as they come into the world, because of sin." John Bunyan
Expound the Law truly and open the veil of Moses to condemn all flesh and prove all men sinners, and set at broach the mercy of our Lord Jesus, and let wounded consciences drink of Him." William Tyndale.
I would paraphrase as show them their LOST Condition so that they can avail themselves of God's Righteousness
�You have enjoyed yourself in Messiahianity long enough. You have had pleasant feelings, pleasant songs, pleasant meetings, pleasant prospects . There has been much of human happiness, much clapping of hands, and much shouting of praises � very much of heaven on earth. Now then, Go to God and tell Him you are prepared as much as necessary to turn your back upon it all, and that you are willing to spend the rest of your days struggling in the midst of perishing multitudes, whatever it may cost you� Gen. William Booth

Slade Henson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:Listening is a good trait.When I say we cannot use sinful, angry speech to bring people into the covenant. Stern language is allowable when those WITHIN THE COVENANT are not willing to repent from sin. Yeshua is our example. The woman in adultery was not scorned and called a Wicked Whore. She was told -- calmly and lovingly -- go and sin no more. The Perushim/Pharisees who were hypocritical should have known better, and Yeshua called the spade a spade.I hope the differences here are understood and heard.It has nothing to do with God Version 2.0, or the Kinder Gentler G-d.-- slade__________________________________________________
