He was sentenced to 1 year and 183 days incarceration. I didnt consider Barbaras post to be nasty to you. Thank you. A scripture in James 1 speaks of the far-greater responsibility church leaders/teachers hold than believers who are not in leadership. So I would be cautious about over-emphasizing secular, mainstream, or Non-Christian solutions and treatment to hurting people, whether they are alcoholics, or are suffering from domestic abuse or from depression, or whatever they are undergoing. RC2 as an intelligent child and adolescent would learn to leverage that, and then we are off to the races toward where we are now. 11 But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindlernot even to eat with such a one.

OK. How would you have liked me to word this to you? To seek to return to the Lord means to leave behind all of those temptations that cause one to fall and to no longer go where one is tempted. Did they brag about how much they can drink, allude to their prowess with the bottle? Leave him alone! I have since removed the errant sentence from Valeries comment above. Some here believe that people with addictions should be kicked out of the church. I dont see the comparison as connecting to RC Sproul Jr., except for the coincidence that they are both alcoholics. I know that if I told my patient/client they could never change and they might as well give up now and just die, it would not only go against my professional code of ethics, but the passion of my training assisting others to get well.

Does he have other actual convictions for DUIs or endangering the children? God bless you and your friend in every way, and so glad you are here, Deb. @ Claire: Wasnt it radiology or something like that? Barbara trotted out the classic evangelical line that people with these problems arent real Christians, arent bearing fruit, etc. Nice story about your father, Brian. because when a person is educated in ethical and moral behavior, they KNOW what it is and WHY departing from it is harmful and hurtful, so they are able to grow in examining their own conscience and responding accordingly .. they are able to listen to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and make course correction before making ship-wreck of their faith, I think solid Christian formation is far more productive and healing than the miserable anecdotes I hear about of Church discipline which seems so negative and punitive and results in public SHAMING, something that is very destructive for any person, Christian formation is education and the root of the word discipline is that one learns . I agree that Sproul 2 shouldnt be enabled by his father, Sproul 1. I was stopped, he was doing 55 in a 35. I also see your point, that his family might be better off if he got treatment. Much as I hate to say it. Why do you feel its necessary to malign a godly servant like RC Sproul as if he is in some way responsible for his grown sons actions! I believe you missed the intent of Dees post. Barbara made a nasty comment to H.U.G. The Bible says that those who profess to be brothers in Christ and are drunkards need to be expelled from the church. Im sorry that Im unable to divulge further, but based on what I know, I say he should be put out, period. I would not doubt it all.

Alcohol can kill, it can ruin marriages and finances and it's a waste of Gods finances but that is all my personal opinion. If Junior makes the same mistake that the drunk driver who hit us did, R.C. RC Jr also refused to leave. We can be His hands & feet to a hurting soul, we can listen without telling, we can confess our faults to others so they understand they are not alone, we can give anonymously to people & not tithe to a church. Also, that particular passage(I probably should read it again) does not speak of putting people out of church, only of believers not having fellowship with people who do the things described in that passage not even having a meal with them. The point being that even relatively mild hypoglycaemia is known to impair brain function; if I were involved in an accident whilst hypoglycaemic, I would be considered in law to be driving under the influence of medication. and me and Barbara advocated that alcoholics should be kicked out of the church. Friends and. Back in 1972 shoulder seat belts werent installed in vehicles. I believe that the church, as church, needs to stay out of it.

I mentioned in a post on there that your blog (among a few other ones Ive seen) either ban the use of the word or topic of Codependency, or make the incorrect claim that it is victim blaming.. What a terrible experience to go through so young. Sorry to burst the bubbles of any here who revere RC Sproul Sr, but as the old adage goes The nut doesnt fall very far from the tree..

She said specifically this person and she specified because of his prominence. I am not surprised that an active alcoholic is pushing drinks on everyone around him, as it makes him seem normal and justifies his drinking. Even finds reasons for crying out loud. What a hateful thing to recommend that be done for someone with a serious substance abuse problem. I am sure that Sproul Sr. paid for that. While some people in Celebrate Recovery may advocate divorce, Al-Anon doesnt take that approach for the spouses of problem drinkers. Let me ask you a question, instead, Daisy. Let me explain myself.

If he was working with a sponsor in a 12-step program he would be required to make a list of the people he had harmed and to make amends to them, except when do so would injure a person.

Why dont you take a break from the put downs of other people like me, telling us what to do, how to think, how to feel, and that were not entitled to our opinions? a hospital detox AND good psychiatric care are NOT the same thing as enabling because they are designed to STOP the status quo Barbara could have easily included treatment for alcoholism in her comment. No excuses for it, ever. Page 14. This!! (He is not driving) I said in my post that the topic is banned on your blog (which is a shame, because learning about it has helped me immensely.

I have been talking about how the church should react in the face of this sort of egregious behavior.

In the midst of my own imperfections, it was difficult for me to find peace in my assurance. I said, as you know, that he should lose his job.

R C Sproul Junior needs to be put out of the church and that needs to be very publicly done because he has been so significant at Ligonier. I have always considered this site to be , for the most part, a discernment ministry that is pretty fair and doesnt make unsubstantiated allegations for the purpose of harming or hurting. We part company, however, over the theological issue of how to deal with people who are struggling with addictions in the church. The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of Truth, and He will lead us to apply those scriptures with grace and truth. Unfortunately his daddy stepping in and called the charges fraudulent and put Jr right back in the pulpit via Ligonier conferences.
