Here’s another interpretation of Philippians 1:12-18. Larry, what do you think of this interpretation?
Phillipeans 1:12-18 covers this topic.
what did Paul do to handle it?
He got on with the tasks laid on him by God,and he didn’t try to stop anyone from doing what they were doing, lest he hinder the Gospel.
Don’t become discouraged because God won’t do what you want Him to, He has plans you don’t know about. Keeping people away from GC will only put them somewhere else where they will face the same risks.
Why not spend more time telling people where you think they should go for proper fellowship instead of telling them to stay away from something bad.
The ones inside won’t come out until they are ready to come out. That applies to the leaders as well.
