Eph 5:11

11 Take no part in and have no fellowship with the fruitless deeds and enterprises of darkness, but instead [let your lives be so in contrast as to] expose and reprove and convict them.

Of course it speaks to conduct/behavoir, don't think no one here would deny that. What we fellowship with is part of our conduct.

"Have no fellowship with THE DEEDS. What part of that is difficult to understand?

Notice the scriptures above that refers to the a list of them commiting the evil deeds: Eph 5:5

5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
KJV


Impossible to be in good fellowship with folks listed then say we are repoving their works of darkness.

And how do we know when one is covetous? Or unclean?

But IT DOESN'T SAY "IN FELLOWSHIP WITH FOLKS"!!!!!!

Don't be in fellowship with THE DEEDS.

Goodness.

That's Fundamentalism.

Fundamentalism corrupts the church every time it is turned loose in the pulpit. It is now finally going on in Apostolic ranks...thanks to our corrupted Pentecostal Bible Colleges who teach those ambitious green-horn students to rely on the intellect rather than the Holy Ghost as our divine teacher. It's amazing how far we have drifted away from our moorings in the past 100 years.

They tell me that it gets very, very cold in the mountains of Afghanistan. Often soldiers have to huddle close together to survive the cold by sharing body warmth. When soldiers huddle together for body warmth, that's when you do the ASKING:

"Which of you, if any are of the perverted homosexual gender?" Now that you ASKED, by law they have to TELL!

Since by LAW they have to tell, I can assure you, that lonely dude is going to be an icicle when the sun peeps up over the top of one of those eastern mountains. At least, he will not be sharing any body heat with the rest of the GIs.

Unlike Napoleon who shot them when he discovered one, all you have to do is just ASK and then freeze them into block of ice much like Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt. Make a pillar of ice out of them.

On the bottom of the last page, so I am bumping it for whatever reason.

Does anyone know how verse 12 applies?

It's a shame to even speak of those things done in secret.

Goodness.

ie a whoremonger is called one because of his deeds that's why he called a whoremonger. Paul listed PEOPLE such as idolators, whoremongers etc...

I can see the lawsuits...one soldier saying they were discrminated against because they told, citing the other soldier refused to keep him warm.
