Listen,lettuce, I have no anger issue. You are not doing your friend any good by letting him stay in the bondage of sin. I hope you hear me out. People say I sin,you sin,we all sin together,well the Bible never says that. Do we fail? Yes. Do we live in sin? No. Now I dont know how the pastor handled the situation and you can expand on that,perhaps he handled it wrong,pastors are human too. But let me tell you a story. I ministered at the Salvation Army in downtown Toronto. The pastor "warned" my family and I that there would be alcoholics,pimps,prostitutes and drug dealers and addicts there in the service. We sang and ministered and people came to the altar and after the service we talked with them. When people come to an altar,or come to the church for help,they come to the healer,they come to the deliverer,they come to Jesus. And when they leave they should not leave still in bondage to satan. They leave a new creature,a new creation.We dont tell people who come,well you're ok just the way you are because we all fail. Where did Jesus give that message to anyone?! No! We are to encourage them to live differently,to walk a different path. My uncle was a lifelong alcoholic and he was saved on his deathbed.He just could not give up the bottle. And he lived a miserable,miserable life because of it. So I get very upset when I hear Christians say "hey its ok to live in bondage,we're all sinners" because that is not the message Christ gave. He promised new life a life free from the bondage of sin,life more abundantly. Failing is different from living in sin,in bondage to sin. A Christian should always be pressing ahead,moving forward. I hope you understand what I am saying. Dont take away from the power of God to reform a sinner and make them a new man/woman.
