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:
Dean writes: 2 John 7-11
** Dean 2 John 7-11 addresses travelling teachers who come with the wrong doctrine. These men would stay at ppl's houses and speak to the body in that town. Our Christmas guest is my daughter's friend and he is not coming here as a spiritual teacher.
"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
Dean writes: I think Paul would approve 2 Cor.10:4-6 v4. ...,but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds.v5 Casting down imaginations,and every thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God,..
Judy: Dean only thing is that this is our personal responsibility. We are to do this daily for our own lives and this is how our mind is renewed (when we persist). It is impossible to do this for others or out on the street. I don't know how much the signs and truth horns affect ppl or how much of their attention you are able to get in the midst of all the distractions surrounding all of you.
Dean: Sooner or later meat must be taken-as one cannot survive on milk alone.
Judy: I'm not sure where the above fits. Are you speaking of the milk/meat doctrines of Hebrews 6:1,2 like baptisms, laying on of hands, resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment? You think these street ppl are ready for all that Dean?
