I apologize in advance, I'm not interested in debating today...it's been one of those.

Anyway, I offer for your opinion these verses from 2 Thessalonians:

3:14 And if any man obeyeth not our word by this epistle, note that man, that ye have no company with him, to the end that he may be ashamed.

3:15 And [yet] count him not as an enemy, but admonish him as a brother.

-American Standard Version

*I don't believe I'll be speaking any more on it because I don't want to go back and forth with anyone. Please note that I do respect your opinions and am interested in the ways through which you come to them (it helps me look at my own values). So, do not think that I'm trying to hit anyone over the head with a Bible.

That mentallity never fails to amaze and sicken me.

Would it be un-Christian to reject someone who is less desirable? Or to even deem someone "less desirable"? You know, "judge not lest ye be judged ye-selves" or something like that.

MAYBE, but consdier this............there are a couple of Christian fraternities where I went to school. Members had to go though a rush/interview/mutual selection type process. Just because someone CLAIMS to be Christian, does not mean they are. I can say I'm a super model till I'm blue in the face, but that doesn't make it so. My point is this. Many of these groups have certain purposes (missions, evangelism, etc) and if people are trying to join for reasons other than wanting to fulfill these purposes, they will not get in. Right or wrong, that's the way it is sometimes.

I agree, it's outrageous to say that because a person is Catholic they are not Christian. No one can judge a person's soul. BUT, as far as "judging" people, we can choose to associate or not associate with someone because of their actions. It's two completely different things.

Well if you ladies are Christian or not, it doesn't bother me much now. If y'all are lookers, well by golly I will be a taker.

Well, I *tried*. I vote to go ahead and move it since people:

a) couldn't keep on the topic of Greek Life at religious institutions

and

b) look like they're about to get into a major discussion regarding association with sinners and "Who is a real Christian?" (which would be really uncool in the Greek Life forum).

Dear Kathleen,

You are so much smarter than me that I am going to quote out of a little-used version of the Bible, out of context, and then refuse to debate with you.

In His Love, as long as you are righteous by my personal definition,

I'm Greek at a religious institution. Is that enough for you? Marquette is having rush this week. The Sigma Lambda Betas were all wearing nice purple shirts. SigEp's 2007 pledge class has nice hoodies. I saw an AXO with a cute bag. Also, I walked past two churches.

You've never heard of NAS? It's a standard version...NAS, NIV, KJV.

We use the NRSV at my university and I used the KJV in parochial school.

And I said little-used, not that I've never heard of it. Another example of how you confused them:

Pat Robertson has a little-used mind, but I have heard of it.

New American Standard is used by a lot of Catholics.
