I am sad - should I be?

[Luci Mourningstar]

A true story of what happened this past weekend.

I dear friend called me, very distressed and in tears. Last week her husband told he he is not a believer anymore, in fact her turned into an atheist! She is a born again Christian and a good mother to their 2 small children.

She immediately started praying for her husband and went to her pastor to ask him for guidance as well as prayer.

The pastor told her he would pray on it and that he would be in contact with her.

A couple of days later she received a letter from their church telling her she, her husband as well as the two small children have been excommunicated. She is not allowed to have any contact with any church member, not even her family who belongs to the same church.

She is devastated and broken and is beginning to doubt the Love of God.

Should I be sad for her, or should I break off all communication as well?

I'm sorry to say that you should avoid all contact with her - and her hellbound family - as soon as possible.

He might infect her colon with demons. And being a woman, she's probably too stupid to even notice. Before YOU know it, you might get infected too.

The Bible knows best, Luci.

2 Corinthians 6:14
Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness?

Seems a bit harsh, but it's what Jesus wants.

If the whole family was excommunicated, there must be something seriously wrong with them. You should shun them, stay away from them, and make sure as many people as possible know about their status.

BTW, are they Catholics? I thought only Catholics got excommunicated.

Thank you, but I don't understand this verse, maybe because I am woman:

"but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Romans 5:8.

I believe the "us" here is God's Chosen Elect. While Jesus did die for your slutist friend's sins she has spurned His unconditional love for her by whoring herself off to a god mocking atheist. It is pretty weak of her to claim her husband was a Christian when she married him, she should have known better.

You can bet your own heavenly gold crown that our Merciful Savior is going to flush her down to hell in the hear after.

Dump her like a rotten potato.

I have no doubt the seeds of discontent are slowly sprouting and you do not want to catch the AIDS (Atheism Hits Decentfolk Syndrome)
