Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Tract for the Times: On the Question, Is It Right to Withhold Fellowship From Churches or From Individuals That Tolerate or Practise Slavery? Is it right to withhold fellowship from churches or from individuals that tolerate or practise slavery? The settlement of this question depends upon the answers we allow to three other questions: First, Is the tolerating or practising of sin sufficient ground for withholding church-fellowship in any case? Second, Is slavery or slaveholding sin? Third, What is meant by withholding church-fellowship? and what ends are to he answered by it? I. Is the tolerating or practising of sin sufficient ground for withholding church-fellowship in any case? Our answer to this question must be, that there are two grounds asserted in the word of God, on which we are not only justified, but required to withhold fellowship: first, important doctrinal errors; second, sinful practices. In regard to the first as a reason for withholding fellowship, Paul says, in the Epistle to the Romans, 16 : 17, Mark them which cause divisions contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. Again, in 1 Tim. 6 : 3, 5, If any man teach otherwise, and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doctrine which is according to godliness, from such withdraw thyself. In the second Epistle of John, 10 : 11, it is said, If there come any unto you, and bring not this doctrine, receive him not into your house, neither bid him God-speed: for he that biddeth him God-speed, is partaker of his evil deeds. Here, then, the teaching and entertaining of doctrines contrary to the Gospel, are implied and declared to be a sufficient reason for not merely withholding, but for positively withdrawing fellowship and countenance.
