In the worst cases of abuse, the matter has to become a civil one, as it requires the law to deal with the crime. It is insufficient to think & presume that such matters are to be kept 'in-house' & dealt only by the clergy. An independent legal body is required to ascertain the crime, who receives the blame, & the punishment meted out.
But if the person in a Church Fellowship is suffering some sort of victimization, estrangement, or even harsh words, I would think that the biblical response would be, to first raise the matter with the person(s) & if no head way is gained, bring it to the notice of the Pastor & Elders ( Matthew 18:15-17). If they are true to their faith & position in the Church, they will deal with it speedily or if necessary, alert the Church about this type of behaviour & to shun it altogether.
In any case, believers ought to seek out a Fellowship where God & the Lord Jesus are truly honoured & worshipped by the study of the Word & that good, correct Church behaviour & discipline are adhered to. For those who are new to an area of the city, some Church-hopping may be required until a suitable place is found, but when unchecked misbehaviour goes on in a Fellowship, one has every right to leave.
Next - the revealing of the Antichrist
Next is - The rapture. Could be instantaneous, could take a while -God only knows
Next is - The tribulation - first 3.5 yrs only. Antichrist will rule in Jerusalem in this period
Then comes - Jesus second coming
Next is - The millenial reign - 1000 yrs.
Next comes - The final 3.5 year tribulation when Satan will be loosed again
Lastly - The perfect age which lasts for eternity
Matthew 5:29 "And if thy right eye offend thee, pluck it out, and cast it from thee: for it is profitable for thee that one of thy members should perish, and not that thy whole body should be cast into hell.
Matthew Chapter 10:28, And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Matthew Chapter 23:33 [Ye] serpents, [ye] generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
2 Peter Chapter 2:4 For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast [them] down to hell, and delivered [them] into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment;
5 And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth [person], a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly;
I asked is there hell? or no hell?
Psalm 1 shows us how it's done . And not done .
Here's a verse that is widely debated. I think we can determine by looking at the description of her, and the series of events concerning her in Ch 12 and prophecies pointing to those events in the bible. "you'll need your bibles". VS 1, the description, "She was clothed with the sun and the moon under her feet, and upon her head a crown of 12 stars". If we go to Genesis 37:9-10. Joseph dreams and Jacob answers this one for us. Now compare the events in prophecy to Revelation 12. VS 2, She's travailing in birth pains, Isaiah 54:1-5. Is 66:7, ( BEFORE SHE TRAVAILED, SHE BROUGHT FORTH; BEFORE HER PAIN CAME, SHE BROUGHT FORTH A MAN CHILD.) Also look at Micah 4:10, and Micah 5:2-4. Revelation 12:14 say she was given 2 wings of a eagle, a phrase the Lord uses throughout the bible concerning Israel, Exodus 19:4' Isaiah 40:27-31. Deuteronomy 32:10-11. Look at Paul concerning the Israelites in Romans 9:5, "Whose are the fathers, and whom as concerning the flesh Christ came. THE WOMAN IS ISRAEL, Not the church. The church did not exist until after the child was born died on the cross raised the third day went to the father then gave the Holy Spirit to the believers. Thank you.
