Should people who have affair

[Sweet_Tears]

allow back into the church or should they be ban from attending that church?

[Sweet_Tears]

We should be allowed to go back to Church whenever we feel like it because you're supposed to be all forgiving and stuff.

 

That is very interesting... I know of a church (can't say the name) but this man had an affair and was condemmed to enter that church again. So, I'm just curious if this is a church rule.

Most of the churches I've been to, if there is/was an affair it's up to the individual to repent his/her sin. The church will not or can not condemned him/her and not allow him/her to come to church.

If there was a divorce, however, doesn't matter who starts it, both persons will be removed of their membership for a period of 6 months. They can come back and have their memberships re-instated if they chose to do so. That rule is stated and make known before anyone wants to become a member in the church.

Thanks sweetie.. for going into details.  I was kind of upset when I heard of this incident. I thought "What kind of church would removed a member and not allow him to attend church anymore because of his sin" "I've always thought church was a place of forgiving, repenting sin, and second chance to redeem yourself".

It is.. I personally know of a guy that went to Thailand and had an affair, not with hmong but with Thai girl. He came home, felt bad and confessed to the whole church. He was never kicked out of church... but people offer prayers for him and his wife. I respect him more after that too... cause he has the balls to do it. Majority of men (99%) won't even admit it to their spouse... let alone to hundreds of people.

Indeed because it takes a lot of courage and face to stand up in front of people and to admit such a selfish act... but I'm sure he realized it was a mistake. I think if someone has the courage to admit their sin, they should at least get a second chance to redeem themselves. Not just push away and being told to never set foot into the church again.

God's children will continue to be God's children.  They are given free will.  Churches should respect that and allow them to come to their father and repent.

YAX... you are correct. Even the criminal that was to die with Christ who rebuke the other criminal shared in God's glory because he confessed his sin and accepted Christ on the cross.

I disagree about the second comment. God allows all people who are sick. If they don't want to come, you let them be and let them burn their own world since they don't want His help. Hey, you can't save the ones that don't want to be save. You can't force them yo. That ain't right. If they want to die, then you give it to them. If they don't want to die, you save them.

You must think it in a superhero/super villain way because if you could think in that kind of situation, then you could understand the problematic about Lucifer and God. Lucy is trying to win against God by playing God's game. How do you win against a super being in their game? Read about Jesus who fault against the devil in the desert for 40 days.

The 40 days is also mention in exodus when Moses was taking his people out in the desert. Jesus did it because it was moses who was trying to interpret about the coming of the messiah.

why not?  If anything else, they are the one to teach others how to love each other more  .

Church should not condemn its people.  Church is a place of worship.  It should allow its people to repent for its sins and offers counseling.  That is what a church is supposed to be. 

Was it a Hmong church by any chance?

Yes, it is a hmong church. This member was kicked out and was never allow to come back. 

[yajmafia]

Person who had the affair should be lynched.


Thank You.

I agree. It's for the sick and we are sick in the soul.

Jesus Christ was a normal person, but we humans are not. We humans are suppose to act like Jesus, but it was Satan who fudged us over with one fruit.

Keep them but have them go through repentance for education on redemption.
