Featured Should we partner with unbeleivers in Ministry Work??!

Even if the catholics were saved?

Do understand your point about mixing with denominations/groups that teach and preach another gospel. but can we still "do business: with individuals saved in those churches/groups?

 

This is probably one of the reasons the church has such a bad reputation. I don't believe we should partner with that which is against Christ PERIOD. Other than partnering with groups that teach false doctrine, this is perhaps the largest area in which the church ruins its witness.

I think we try to make exceptions for politics because we feel we have to sometimes choose between the lesser of two evils if we're gonna be a part of the process.

But that's exactly the type of compromise the church does not need to be known for.

Stand on God's word and preach the Gospel. If none of the candidates do then none of them should get the Christian's support, IMO.

 

if they are going to remain under the banner of Catholic while attempting to partner with you, then absolutely not. The Catholic Church is known for doing and believing certain things. To keep from authoring confusion about what we teach and believe we are to NOT partner with them.

 

Are you saying it would be wrong to pass out buttons or bumper stickers for Rick Santorum ?

 

Where is ministry in that? It is speaking of being yoked...like two oxen going down the same path...spiritually. if you do yoke with an unbeliever, they can be the one to steer you. Irrelevant to the op.

 

Another fallacy from the video, all ministry must be accompanied with the Gospel. Where do we find that concept in the Bible?

 

Then let's not make it into a political thread. If there were a Catholic candidate for President whose policy positions lined up with yours, esp. on abortion, gay rights, stem cell research, euthanasia, etc. would it be "partnering with unbelievers in ministry" to work on his campaign?

 

Ok, just read it again. Now would you care to show where the portion you added to that passage? Using your narrow interpretation, any believer who earns a living working with and for unbelievers is in sin, as they are 'partnering' with them in common goals. Surely you cannot be that obtuse...baldy

 

Got it, so nowhere in particular, you just wildly brush as you see fit.

Working for an unbeliever is partnering with them on economics, not ministry. I don't see it as being unequally yoked per the context of righteousness vs. lawlessness or darkness vs. light.

 

Sure it is. The common goal is to make the company profitable so in turn you reap the benefits. ALL employment is a partnership! You have just reduced and defined the definition to your liking.
