@Toney Dunaway @k8er.joy please check your hearts on your responses to one another.

@Madej Team thank you for that reminder. Yes we are called to love one another. So MY struggle is, how to love another who is not being honest?

1 Corinthians 5

6 Your boasting [over the supposed spirituality of your church] is not good [indeed, it is vulgar and inappropriate]. Do you not know that [just] a little leaven ferments the whole batch [of dough, just as a little sin corrupts a person or an entire church]? 7 Clean out the old leaven so that you may be a new batch, just as you are, still unleavened. For Christ our Passover Lamb has been sacrificed. 8 Therefore, let us celebrate the feast, not with old leaven, nor with leaven of vice and malice and wickedness, but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and [untainted] truth.

9 I wrote you in my [previous] letter not to associate with [sexually] immoral people— 10 not meaning the immoral people of this world, or the greedy ones and swindlers, or idolaters, for then you would have to get out of the world and human society altogether! 11 But actually, I have written to you not to associate with any so-called [Christian] brother if he is sexually immoral or greedy, or is an idolater [devoted to anything that takes the place of God], or is a reviler [who insults or slanders or otherwise verbally abuses others], or is a drunkard or a swindler—you must not so much as eat with such a person. 12 For what business is it of mine to judge outsiders (non-believers)? Do you not judge those who are within the church [to protect the church as the situation requires]? 13 God alone sits in judgment on those who are outside [the faith]. Remove the wicked one from among you [expel him from your church].

Verse 12, we are to judge those who are within the church to protect the Body. From private messages I already know there is a lack of honesty. So yes, how do you love someone who does not love the truth?

@Toney Dunaway we love others bc He loved us first… regardless of their place/belief! We didn’t deserve His love… do we greet those who love us only? By His loving kindness we were lead to repentance, how much more can the fruit of the Spirit work in another’s heart as we love when it’s not deserved.
