Wrong for christian to sue? - Page 2

If someone refused to try to pay me the money they owe, just out right refused, then I would consider a lawsuit. But, if they are unable to pay, that would be a different story. There is a difference between grace and out right wickedness.

This question should be fairly easy for 3 steppers--at least those who really believe it. The chances are very high that he who wronged you is NOT another 3 stepper (or at least not another True 3 Stepper) therefore you may reclassify the offending "believer" as an unbeliever, and therefore, bingbam, eligible to be sued!

It says not to sue your brother. I think is is also wrong to sue in a family. God had civil laws in the old testament including restitution and more. Why should Christians not use the law?

The woman in the New Testament sought relief by deferring to a judge.

And giving your coat and your cloak, and going the extra mile, and turning the other cheek?

What if your a Christian and your name is Sue?

No. Count the cost of being a Christian. Make your mercy a testimony of your faith, a witness. It testifies louder than words. Have faith that God will supply anything you might be lacking by your obedience.

So if someone hacked into and took your 2million retirement fund with you knowing who they are you would sue them?

Or would he give them his house, too?

Well, we can all agree that Jesus would forgive them.... But I'm pretty sure He would also pressure them to give the two million dollar retirement fund back.

the price of faith is high...A lot of Israel's troubles had to do with trusting in God..God will try our hearts all the time because he will separate us from our sin nature one way or another..

and this is what it's all about ...Whether we love this world , this life, more than him..

There are so many beautiful things in the world...and many times they get a hold of us...

I was just thinking today about what Jesus said, " he that loses his life for my sake and the gospel shall find it..

or the life we really want is hidden behind that thing we love in this world..
