I believe this should be; forgiving as in
Ephesians 4 : 32, And "forgetting/moving on," and dwelling on
Philippians 4 : 6-8! vs:
not forgiving, but remembering, not "moving on," and, then wanting to "take action"...
The above "apply" to the Jews, In Israel {past and future}...
This applies
To The Body Of CHRIST, Today!:
Gal 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore
such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.
Gal 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.
This is
not "taking action" because of our brother "offending us," but, that they
"have fallen" into sin, and have "separated" themselves from Christian "fellowship."
Kindness, then, is praying for them
First, and, "bearing their burden with them,"
seeking to "help them" back to "restored fellowship." Amen?
"Consider thyself, lest we are also being tempted," would probably be like an
idea like:
IF they "went back to drinking," to visit them in the bar, "to try to
help them,"
which would then be a
sinful NO-NO, if you understand what
Scripture means...
So, in the case of "
taking action for someone OFFENDING you," {which is Essentially
"letting someone Else
rule your life,
Instead Of CHRIST!}, Is again,
Scripturally!:
Forgiving as in Ephesians 4 : 32, And "forgetting/moving on," and dwelling on
Philippians 4 : 6-8!
Hope this helps, and Precious friend,
Please Be Very Richly Blessed!!
