* Titus 3:9-11: After warning a person once or twice, just walk away from him and keep your peace.


 

We cannot live in peace while tying to live with those who say they are Christians when they will not do scripture and they are not led by the Spirit of God.  For we try to share truth from God with them and they argue with us ... or they go dead and say nothing, just waiting for us to stop talking so they can talk about this world and things they enjoy.

God has a way of escape for us and we must take that way of escape in order to live in peace.

Titus 3:9-11  But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain. A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;  Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

After we try to share scripture once or twice, and we see them fail to rejoice in that scripture, then we have to just stop trying to share with them and we walk away and keep ourselves from being entangled again with them.

And avoid those who want to strive with us about our doctrine.  For to enter into this is very destructive.

We think we can cause them to understand, but we can't, when they have already rejected the doctrine which we carried to them.  To try to keep teaching them will pull us down with them.  So learn to do Titus 3:10-11  A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;  Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

(No entanglements by phone calls, or Birthday cards, or things of the flesh of man to draw them into fleshly relationships.  Just leave them alone.  If they come to God, then they will come to us.)

There is only one Spirit... so if we both have that Holy Spirit we will agree.  For if there is disagreement, God will cause us to agree.  We don't discuss it to agree.  We have God in us to explain scripture to us and we will be brought to agreement by the Spirit of God when we are both of God.

But we will never come to agreement otherwise.  If one person has the Spirit of God in him and the other person does not have the Spirit of God but is trying to come to God by joining a church and by doing church doctrine, we can't agree about scripture and things of God.

For Paul shows us the following:

I Corinthians 2:14   But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Romans 8:14  For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.
