It is wrong for believer to take believer to law. Utterly a fault.
6:1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints?6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?
6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
6:4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church.
6:5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren?
6:6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.6:7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another. Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded? 6:8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren.6:9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
6:10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Cor. 6:1-10
Paul says it is unrighteous and lists it with other sins.
Would you consider it wrong for a christian to sue someone(nonchristian) that owes them money?
Not sure. Do any of these principles apply?
But love your enemies, do good to them, and lend to them without expecting to get anything back. Then your reward will be great, and you will be children of the Most High, because he is kind to the ungrateful and wicked. Luke 6:35
Ye have heard that it hath been said, An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth: But I say unto you, That ye resist not evil: but whosoever shall smite thee on thy right cheek, turn to him the other also. And if any man will sue thee at the law, and take away thy coat, let him have thy cloak also. And whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain. Matthew 5:38-41
Agree with thine adversary quickly, whiles thou art in the way with him; lest at any time the adversary deliver thee to the judge, and the judge deliver thee to the officer, and thou be cast into prison. Matthew 5:25
And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors. Matthew 6:12

He is talking about a believer and a non believer, not a brother. Does the same apply?

What about if you were in an accident and was left with 40000.00 in medical bills , lifetime of injury problems,due to uninsured driver?
But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory. if you are qualified for that last statement then it would be wrong to sue , due to the fact that you can look to God for the miraculous. but if we do sue then we can only look to the judgment of the court..which is better you have to ask yourself. If you choose God's miraculous, then you must accept all his disciplines; which requires amongst other things denial of your biggest enemy yourself.
also take into consideration the other drivers capabilities to pay. To staple him down would be like an eye for an eye...thingy.

Do you advocate using only prayer for the sick and not using medical care, if your faith is strong enough? Following James's advice (James 5:14-15) to the letter? Like when Lee Stoneking's friends told the doctor not to operate on Lee, but they'd pray instead? And like when some parents pray instead of taking their child to the hospital when they are seriously ill?

If you are continuously experiencing the miracles of God all the time in your church and congregation..knowing you have the ability to receive healing as opposed to a novice trying to have their own way, by forcing their own will you judge..
God tries the hearts.. I took my little son to the doctor cause his foot hurt and was swelling..all that mattered was health..
