Consider that those who commit those posted sins, as the Apostle Paul wrote, of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God.Difficult to be more emphatic than that;
Well, not too difficult...
1Ti 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach;
1Ti 3:3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous;
1Ti 3:4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity;
1Ti 3:5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?)
1Ti 3:6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil.
Mat_23:9; And call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
therefore it is reasonable to consider that those who claim we have been Born Again, we do not walk after the flesh but we walk after the Spirit, and commit these sins are deceived and at great risk.

- He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou?
- And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
- And he said unto him, Thou hast answered right: this do, and thou shalt live.
...
- And I say also unto thee, That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
- And I will give unto thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.

When one gets instructions from oneself, or one of thousands of disjoint faith communities and their leaders that are not in apostolic succession, in an attempt to re-form, re-create, or re-construct the faith once delivered to the saints, it is unreasonable that one
should consider that religion as a legitimate source for bible exegesis...
