Shadmans thoughts

Ok I will work on a small writing. In the news the trail of Scott Peterson has went to the jury and they are deciding if it is right to kill him or keep him locked up for life. I am not a fan of keeping murders alive. If you kill you ought to pay with your own life. I realize some think I am not a man of mercy. I am not in killers are free. If you lock them up give them one meal a day and no human interaction ever again. They sit in a cell 24 a day forever till they haul out the killers body. No books and no people ever. No mail for them no books and no nothing. It is hard time and they eat one food idea forever. They are there for the rest of life.

They do get a Gospel of John and 1 bible. Nothing else and they sit forever.

Here is a bible talk for tonight I am going to try to do. It is the Lords talk on how to solve problems with brothers and sisters in the faith. It is a major thing that we need to do in the church. It is sad that as brothers we conflict and bicker over things. Here is the Lords solution for the Church. We need to follow the Lords commands in this topic and if we do the Lord is going to bless the church in the little and big sense.

¹⁵ “Moreover if your brother sins against you, go and tell him his fault between you and him alone. If he hears you, you have gained your brother. ¹⁶ But if he will not hear, take with you one or two more, that ‘by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.’ ¹⁷ And if he refuses to hear them, tell it to the church. But if he refuses even to hear the church, let him be to you like a heathen and a tax collector.

Here are the orders from the Lord. If one sins we go and tell him he has sinned and need to get right with Jesus I note here that Jesus forgave the sin when you are forgiven and it is over. You also forgive when the person confesses and then it is over. If this happens you are out of the loop in the displaine issues. They do not proceed because the sin is out and forgiven. What is a sin? It is falling short of the word of God. It is not doing something or failing to so it right. Every time one sins he is out of the fellowship with the Lord and needs to restore it in confessing and accepting his forgiveness.

If you go to the person and he does not want to get right or thinks the sin is ok then you proceed to the next step and that is you go and take some others with you. It is key to make sure the Lord is in it. I want to say this that if the job of this is not to make one feel good about himself or to improve his life. It is about taking the word of God and teaching it rightly. If I say it is ok to be a gay I am not right with the Lord. If you are gay and the people confront you and there is no repenting then the church has to take up the thing. If one is sleep around the church is called to take steps to get you to repent and get right with Jesus.

If you did not get in them in the meeting with 2 or 3 Jesus said to take it to the church and let the local church go and try to win them. A LOCAL CHURCH is the local fellowship and it does not leave this. It is the highest government for the body. It is not right to say the church does not get to go outside of it. A LOCAL CHURCH is the fellowship you go to and are a member of. If the sinner does not repent you KICK him out of the body until he repents. If the person is a gay REMOVE TILL HE REPENTS. If he is a drunk REMOVE TILL he goes to treatment and repents and gets right with Jesus. Itr is harsh but Jesus made the rules I did not. If he repents you take him in and he is forgiven and he is restored. THE GOAL IS TO GET HIM TO REPENT It is Jesus who does not want to lose one sinner. Look at the part right before. He is going to leave all to get the sinner to repent and get right. God does not want to lose one person.

¹⁸ “Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.

¹⁹ “Again I say to you that if two of you agree on earth concerning anything that they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven. ²⁰ For where two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.”[1]

This passage does not let you forgive sins. ONLY JESUS does that. Here is what I think. Jesus gives his blessing to the one that makes calls on earth that are with the bible.
