Answer 2

If someone came into your house and began to tell you what you should accept and shouldn't accept as far as what goes on in your home, how long would they be welcome? If you have a routine, doctrine, or a set of rules that you go by who is anyone outside of your home and family to tell you that you should change it to accommodate them? Well that is what many people are trying to do with the Church. However, we do not disown people who do wrong but the fact is that if you are going to be a part of a doctrine believing, God following Church then you either follow the doctrine/ritual/laws of the Church or excuse yourself from the Church community. I'm so sick of people trying to force their ideals on an institution that has been around for thousands of years. We have the same bible we've had for all those years, the same laws, the same convictions, the same moral standards and why should we change to fit this progressively immoral society? If the Church were to go to Vegas and proceed to march, protest, send angry letters to congressmen, and get all up in the faces of people who were opposed to the view that gambling, prostitution, and drug usage is a sin and Vegas should be shut down, what kind of war do you think we'd have on our hands? The Christian Church, for example, by command of Jesus Christ is to preach and teach the gospel and leave the decisions up to the people who have heard it. But how would a person who has not accepted the Gospel going to function or even think to be accepted in the Church if his or her way of life differs from the church? What choice do you have when someone you want to love is against everything you stand for and will openly rebel against you without apology? What else do you expect the Church to do? Again, let me say that the Church does not have to accept anything that is contrary to our doctrine of faith just as non-believers or believer of another doctrine do not have to accept ours!

Answer 3

I have only ever met one person who claimed he was not welcome in church. He was unhappy because he had two "wives", and no church would recognize his arrangement as a "family". Seems the first gal had given birth to nine (yep, nine) kids, so they hired a house-keeper/nanny. She was a rather plain gal, (in other words, so ugly no other man would have her, right) according to our friend, but she longed for a home and family of her own, so, with the full approval of wife #1, he "consummated" his "marriage" with her, thus making her wife #2. She never had any children of her own, but is happily living as co-wife-and-mother with wife #1 (who supposedly has the legal marriage license.)
Evidently, he has had a problem taking the family to church on Sunday (or Saturday) cuz he can't find any church that will accept him as being rightfully the husband of two wives.
Other than that guy, whom I met in chat, I've never spoken to anyone who said that they had a problem being accepted in church.

I would say that, in the long run, what is really important is whether or not God "disfellowships" you. After all, it's HIS church.

Answer 4

It is commanded that Christians do not fellowship with those who commit sin, or those who are not Christians. People who do things wrong in ignorance are not sinners and Christians may fellowship with them as long as they are also Christians. But Christians who fellowship with sinners soon become sinners themselves. That is why.

Christians are also commanded to forgive, and accept those who have transgressed, as long as that person repents and accepts Christ as the Saviour. If a sinner does not do that, then Christians are not obligated to accept them.

I realize the truth is unpopular. The truth prohibits people from partaking of those things in this life which they think are "fun". So they believe want is convenient to their activities and still claim to be Christians because they ask for forgiveness each night by their bedside . That is hyporcritical. I am not a Christian. I am the biggest sinner on this Earth. I do not meet the standard. But at least I do not profess to be a Christian while spending my time in nightclubs and sleeping with whomever I want. Instead, I lie, I cheat, and if given the opportunity I would rob you blind. And I do not ask forgiveness for it, because God will not hear it. The first prayer God would hear from me is a prayer of repentance. Without that, I'm just talking to the ceiling.

Real Christians do seperate themselves from sinners. It is commanded that they do so. You asked a question and I gave you the truth. It is obvious that many here cannot handle the truth.

I'm bound for Hell. And so are most people. See you there.

Answer 5

let me start by saying that I am a christian. I was excommunicated from the LDS church about 15 years ago.
I do not hold it against them as I did not follow their rules of faith,I would like to add that the members of LDS church are some of the nicest people that you could ever know. my Mother and all of my family on her side are LDS and not one of them disowned me. My mother in law is a church of Christ member and believes that because I am not baptized into the church of Christ that I am going to hell,and none of them have disowned me.My sister is married to a Baptist preacher and we do not always agree on matters of faith and they have not disowned me. some of my best friends are Pentecostal and they tell me that because I didn't speak in tongues when I was baptized that my baptism didn't work I tell them they are entitled to their beliefs and I do not agree,and none of them have disowned me.

some times in life we have to cut ties with people and some times its with people that we love and miss,but we can't accept into our life things that stand against every thing we stand for. keep this in mind,it truely is better to have loved and lost than to never have loved at all.
some of my close friends from school(many years ago) still party as if they where still in high school. Do I not have the right to cut that out of my life? I do not wish for my children to be around people like that. I am still kind to them if I see them in a store or any where I say hi and ask how they are doing but can not have them in my life. I am not saying that if some one makes a mistake and does some thing wrong I cut them out of my life. I am saying that if some one has chosen to live a life that is unacceptable I can not have them be a part of my life.

if you are a Christian and have been wronged by a church or people that clam to be Christians pray for them but dont let that stop you in you Christian walk allow the Lord to strengthen you in this and prase him for it.

Answer 6

I wouldn't consider them Christians but rather HYPOCRITES!

I am a Christian and I would never disown somebody because they made a mistake. Nobody is perfect. I personally would do what I can to help them if I could.
You shouldn't kick somebody when they're down.

Honestly, when you preach one thing but practice another, well that would make you what? A HYPOCRITE!

Answer 7

WHAT an exciting question. i visit wait for seeing the solutions in this one. I honestly have puzzled many situations how any ascertain would desire to disown a baby, for any reason in besides. i'd have welcomed a gay baby with open hands - they might have been my baby. We as father and mom, are meant to love unconditionally. i locate it very unhappy that some gay infants and adults, have been decrease off from their households. no longer via their own determination. LYLE THE FARM CAT - I merely had to remark in this answer. no one would desire to disown their baby for any reason in besides. that's what unconditional love skill. Loving a baby or guy or woman, no count what. Do you honestly think of that "God" states" i do no longer choose you around anymore because of the fact i do no longer agree including your existence type" or does a loving "God" state. "i such as you, you will constantly be my baby. i such as you unconditionally"?

Answer 8

I have lost SO MANY friends because I quit going to THEIR church
No responsibility through Excommunication !!
very well put

Answer 9

Im part of a Christian Church and I can tell you that disfellowshipping is extremely ULTRA rare.

The Bible teaches to be an encouragment to one another but also judge and keep order in the church paticularly when dealing with sexual sin. We have to be careful it is God we're trying to please first and formost and not the people that think they are popular, own the church, and think they can do whatever they want.

Answer 10

Like any "group" there are those who are extremists....there are alot of good Christians who not only talk the talk but walk the walk. I know some of both. When you get down to it, be the best person you can be and not worry about what others think. ....they wont be the ones at heavens gate making the decision if you know what I mean.....

Answer 11

Yes it is wonderful for them. Hypocrisy is very common since one of the early ways we learn to lift ourselves up is to put others down. This disowning also allows them to raise huge amounts of money by "creating" enemies who must be fought off through supporting the leaders of individual faith groups. The early Christians (even if they were traveling evangelists like Paul) supported themselves rather than asking their followers to do it. Jesus didn't collect offerings when he addressed his flock like modern day pastors and evangelists do.
