Amen.<br />
Its a hard saying but true.

I'm a man that would let him be apart of the congregation, but also be considerate of who he was and what may trigger him. You can't say to a recovering alcoholic "hey lets go out and have a drink", or to a dieting obese person "boy I can't wait to go to get me a huge ice-cream sundae!!". They will be around it but they need support. In A.A. and N.A. inpatient places, when people go out, they are only allowed out with a partner, not to be their policeman, but be their support. Sadly, the A.A.…
I'm a man that would let him be apart of the congregation, but also be considerate of who he was and what may trigger him. You can't say to a recovering alcoholic "hey lets go out and have a drink", or to a dieting obese person "boy I can't wait to go to get me a huge ice-cream sundae!!". They will be around it but they need support. In A.A. and N.A. inpatient places, when people go out, they are only allowed out with a partner, not to be their policeman, but be their support. Sadly, the A.A. and N.A. programs were ORIGINALLY designed by Christians, but Churches do not implement the methods. Instead, they wanna isolate certain people.<br />

I was speaking yesterday about the comparison of a true sower vs someone who sows, and lets use grass seed for example: A true sower of seed sows where they see fit, and doesn't hold back at all. They sow alot of seed. A person who simply sows a little is more reluctant to toss the seed here and there. When a true sower doesn't see results, they don't wonder whats wrong with the seed, they wonder whats wrong with the earth the seed was sown into.<br />

When we deal with such situations, the Church should be the hospital for all to come and be healed. Sure, some may need to be quarantined, but they should NEVER be rejected by the Church. This is why the Church is Catholic (Universal). The Church is now segregated because we no longer consider ourselves Catholic. Even for quarantined patients, they should stay in quarantine forever!!

And whats your answer Bro Trevor? Should he be allowed?<br />
Are there some saints that are not allowed to fellowship with other saints?<br />
<br />
I saw a show on the 700 Club and they let this former predator pedophile join their church and he wound up raping some kids.<br />
How would you handle these guys?<br />
<br />
As far as I am concerned - if a sinner is a new creature in Christ - he wont do it anymore.<br />
<br />
So there are many things to consider. What would you do?

<i><b>"Going to Church won't help him better himself, only Jesus can."</b></i><br />

I disagree TOTALLY, and with a good scriptural reason. Lazarus was raised from the dead by the LORD JESUS, but it was the people around him that wee commanded to loose him from his grave clothes. If you leave everything to JESUS, you are disobeying His direct command. That command is simple: <i><b>Loose him, and let him go</b></i>. His deliverance is every bit in the hands of the Church as it is in GOD's hands,…

His deliverance is every bit in the hands of the Church as it is in GOD's hands, because HE left us here to do the work of deliverance. He should be allowed to worship with the rest of the saints, and treated like the crackhead on his right, the ex-homosexual on the left, the convicted felon who is the Deacon in the corner, the former prostitute who is about to sing the solo written by Kirk Franklin (former porn addict by the way), right before the visiting Apostle preaches a sermon about how he used to be a local gang leader and was saved while in prison.....oh wait, <i><b><u>thats me at that pulpit</u></b></i>!

How does the church handle that?<br />
Do they hold special services for him so that he wont forsake the fellowship of believers?

I would have to say his church attendance is dependent on the severity of his crime. If it were something as simple as an 18 year old who had relations with a 16 year old then that should be considered. I really don't see that as a crime in that there is only a 2 year age difference.<br />
<br />
If we are talking about some guy who raped a 6 year old then this brother has a problem and needs to stay away from children. PERIOD. I agree with Caral, that attending church won't help him better himself. He…

I agree with Caral, that attending church won't help him better himself. He needs to find Jesus. I think he can connect with a church and maybe they can include him in the Brother's fellowship meetings or something but keep him away from kids.
