“So in your Church, eveyone is perfect? Right?”

No, Twink. We’ve had people repudiate the faith, fall into alcoholism, commit adultery, and indulge in spousal abuse (probably a lot more than that, too, that I don’t know about).

However, these folks are subjected to church discipline. They are removed from the church membership. While they can still show up, they can’t lead, vote, or take communion.

My other comment did not need an LOL. How would you like me to respond to the poster’s question? Should I tell him everything is fine and there is no solution to the problem?

Dear Marie:2

<<<’So in your Church, everyone is perfect? Right?”

Does the foregoing mean your Church has only saints? Didn’ our Lord say He came not for the righteous but for the unrighteous
