Should Christians (true Believers) Go To The Courts Of Unbelievers? by OpenYourEyes1: 10:19am On Nov 30, 2019 |
In my opinion, church(real church) problems should be tackled/judged in the church rather than taken to the court of unbelievers. Unbeliever don't understand justice, so you will likely not get real justice from them. If a church don't give you real justice, know that is not a good church. This is when you may seek justice outside of church. Still, the unbelievers courts will likely not give real justice unless GOD uses them to give you justice. Because GOD will always give justice to those who are obedient to HIM I first posted the above here https://www.nairaland.com/5547161/no-faith-not-illogical#84403744 |

Should Christian obey and be subject to the rulership and government by unbelievers? What’s the difference? |

drakeli: This is why the ideal structure (in the beginning of time) was to separate "church" and "state". However, the scripture verse that refers to the OP's question is 1 Corinthians 6:1-3 (KJV) 1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 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? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? The verse is referring to problems amongst fellow believers...church members. It presents the church in a very negative light when we, as followers of Christ, cannot settle a situation (amongst ourselves) in a Christ-like manner. The "worldly" church may not use a wise, merciful and just a method as King Solomon chose when handling conflicts. Now that doesn't mean that followers of Christ are not to function in a society. We are to follow the laws of the land (as long as they do not conflict with God's mandate). Romans 13:1-7 (KJV) Please read the entire passage. Mark 12:17 (KJV) 17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him. Now if a Christian is "called" to court (because it does happen sometimes.....for whatever reason by another party) he/she should attend. But it should NOT be because the Christian initiated it (first) against a fellow believer. 1 Like |

What do you mean by court of unbelievers, sharia court or what? Because magistrate courts or high courts of justice and even customary courts can never be classified as courts of only unbelievers. By that way, what makes you think the church can play the role of a court? Are churches creating laws for Christians? |

I don't believe in justice because it is always delayed. In most cases the victim may have die or grow white hair |
