So Christians "are" supposed to judge and shun...

[Abdul Salaam]

...there none Righteous Christian brothers.

Quote:

1 Corinthians 5:11-13
But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who calls himself a Christian (Greek a brother) who is sexually immoral, or greedy, or an idolater, or verbally abusive, or a drunkard, or a swindler. Do not even eat with such a person. For what do I have to do with judging those outside? Are you not to judge those inside? But God will judge those outside. Remove the evil person from among you.

.


Now get to it!

Most religious people don't really care about what's in their scriptures.

[THE ULTIMATE DOOM]

God created the universe in one day, but it took him 5 days to make our planet. WTF?

I guess I interpret it to be that we should judge people's inside and not their outside because God is judging their outside and inside.

[Nityananda-rama dasa]

To be fair, it says to do that to people who claim to be Christian as opposed to a blanket statement.

Presumably excommunication and the likes actually are trying to do this.

That sentence makes no sense.

Haha okay you're right. I was on the phone when I was typing it so it makes sense that it doesn't make sense.

Alright, so what I meant to say was that how I interpret this passage is that God doesn't want us as humans to judge people on what they look like or what material things others have. He wants us to see the inside, see their beauty within, if they have beauty, and judge that person off of that. It should solely be based on their personality and good deeds. Stuff like that. Hopefully that makes a bit more sense.

But you agree, that a Christian should not associate with another person who says "Im a Christian" but displays un-christian like behaviour.

As this passage states

yes?

Well yeah I guess. If that person thinks that "not-so-christian" person isn't a good person, then why be around them? People choose who they want to associate with.

Seems to me the passage is just telling "real" Christians to shun the hypocrites. It makes sense. I mean, it takes a lot of social isolation to just stay on track with the straight and narrow way of Christianity, and temptation is everywhere. If there is someone among you who would make temptation more accessible, you should oust them as quickly as possible.

The very embodiment of "closed minded".

To play devil's advocate, I think a reasonable response would be to argue that being closed minded towards sexually immorality, greed, idolatry, verbal abuse, drunkenness, and swindling might be construed as a good Christian thing.

Which is why the Bible tells you to do so. Ta-da.

Have copious amounts of drink and sex, you know, all that hollow temporary fun.
