Hi, and thank you for your opinion! As the...David,<br /><br />Hi, and thank you for your opinion! As the post states, your conclusions would rely on an interpretation which we of UCC don't embrace. We approach that small number of Scriptures from a different viewpoint (or, as the post above explains, a viewpoint that is very much the same as millions of other believers, but which they have yet to apply to the rest of Scripture). I imagine your conclusions above would strike me as valid, too, if we did not apply that approach used by Evangelicals.<br /><br />My discussion of slavery was based on the literal wording of 1 Peter 2, a reading you embraced fully when I used it in a post last summer about the role of a wife in marriage.<br /><br />I hope all is well with you!<br /><br />~YoliCosmic Parxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15810435996806041856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696942032190027495.post-27076130809525536752014-04-05T09:02:12.281-07:002014-04-05T09:02:12.281-07:00Hi, David from the netherlands here.

There is a difference between a christian who might slip and backslide, but still calls it a sin and repents. Not calls it an accepted Biblical lifestyle. So when you accept those who live it out and do not repent, but call them self christian, as members you are directly ignoring the last part of 1 cor 5.<br /><br />And with the slavery example you made a sweeping generalisation. Not all of those forms you mentioned are the same or approved in the Bible.<br />But would be punishable with death.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16834036001297731496noreply@blogger.com
