Can God forgive “peculiar types” or are some sinners just “too sinful” for God to handle? What about you? You hating on them?
How do you treat Christian brothers and sisters who have fallen into sin?
The most important thing about sin is: Examine yourself and get right with God! But if you see a fellow Christian sin, what is the Scriptural thing to do?
Forgiving and restoring the brother caught in a sin
Have you been treating actual “brothers” and sisters like the world does when they catch a sinner? Scripture calls for us to “restore such a person in a spirit of gentleness” – not snub and drub MerWeb: snubbing – harshly criticize or reprimand. What?! Treat them quick and harsh? Get down and slander and gossip about them to others? Put down, slap down? A Christian who, in a moment of failure – falls… is not to be classified as “an immoral” person.
