And when the scribes and Pharisees saw (Jesus) eat with publicans and sinners, they said unto his disciples, How is it that he eateth and drinketh with publicans and sinners?
If you're a Holy Joe, and a self righteous hip, this bothers you ! to be around common people, or someone who is not converted whereby the purpose of a Christian is to plant seeds to a person who Is a sinner, seeds of truth to a Child of God, those believers who may be on the wrong track whereby they Can see that truth, and Gain that knowledge, and Be touched by The Almighty, it's what Christianity is all about, it's spreading the good word, the gospel, the good news, we musn't send them away or cast them out, who else is going to help them?
I agree that all lost people need the Help of God , and he can use us , but often they refuse to repent , or except truth then what ? I appreciate your love for the lost as Jesus came to save sinners , but few will receive him .
Today the gospel has been perverted , many see not the need to live a holy life or follow Jesus .
Yes Jesus died for sinners and laid down his life for them . Glad you get that well . He surely loves as no other man did by the power of God .
"Sinners shall not stand in the congregation of the righteous "
We know they will not stand in the judgment.
So here is the though , is your congregation able to keep the sinners out ? Or do they feel at home ?
Yes repentance is welcome but not sinning , not even in Old Testament times .
If your congregation is not working get out and be separate. Why go down with a sinking ship ?
Holiness is not an option.
James 1.27

We are talking about the church not evangelism .
Know you not that a little leaven leaven's the whole lump ?
Cast out the evil and it shall be made whole .
What fellowship has you with devils ?
