Topic: Accountability | |
---|---|
As a christian, who do you think we are accountable to? Leadership obviously. But when we see our brother or sister falling in to sin, would you speak to them in love? Do you think there needs to be a relationship/friendship first or not? If you don't already have rapport with the other person, then that other person is unlikely to listen to you. Not necessarily so! Still, it is worth trying. |

Romans 2:15 New International Version (NIV) 15 They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.) |

It's about accountability and directly relates to your appology for your apparent "blunt or harsh" responses. Your conscience seems to be working... |

May I ask you Peterpan whether you are a born again christian? No, you can't. Every time someone questions my faith it is for one reason only. You or no other human will tell me what is required to be Christian... |

The reason I asked that question is because this is the christian singles forum. Why would you presume I would want to tell you anything?

I am not quite sure how I have offended you by simply asking if you were a christian? I delight in being a christian and I certainly have no reason to hide this fact.

I can see how you've applied my apology to my having a conscience and my taking a step toward "accountability". Thank you for your observation, Peter. |
