Pastor And Religious Bodies Going To Court: Right Or Wrong? by TGM2015: 9:55am On Apr 23, 2017
This morning, I stumbled on this bible passage. Recollect how in recent times, pastors even churches and other religious bodies/associations file cases with courts, then in light of I Corinthians chapter 6 reproduce below. Is it right for Christians to go to court at all, taking into consideration of verses 1 and 7.
NEW LIVING TRANSLATION
1 Corinthians 6:1 When you have something against another Christian, why do you file a lawsuit and ask a secular court to decide the matter, instead of taking it to other Christians to decide who is right?
1 Corinthians 6:2 Don't you know that someday we Christians are going to judge the world? And since you are going to judge the world, can't you decide these little things among yourselves?
1 Corinthians 6:3 Don't you realize that we Christians will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disagreements here on earth.
1 Corinthians 6:4 If you have legal disputes about such matters, why do you go to outside judges who are not respected by the church?
1 Corinthians 6:5 I am saying this to shame you. Isn't there anyone in all the church who is wise enough to decide these arguments?
1 Corinthians 6:6 But instead, one Christian sues another—right in front of unbelievers!
1 Corinthians 6:7 To have such lawsuits at all is a real defeat for you. Why not just accept the injustice and leave it at that? Why not let yourselves be cheated?
1 Corinthians 6:8 But instead, you yourselves are the ones who do wrong and cheat even your own Christian brothers and sisters.

You see bible? it looks so small yet there are a thousand and one verses not yet seen by our so called pastors.

Even if the church is to decide the outcome of a case,don't you think the whole of mama Iyabo's friends and neighbourss will support her against Mama Ngozi even tho she's at fault?

It is wrong wen d people they drag to court are believers ie their brethren.
It is right wen people they drag to court are unbelievers.
because d other option to No 1 involves taking them to the elders of the church which unbelievers would never accept
