RU really teaches that?? We have RU at our church, though I am not familiar with it, in that I have not "supported it" (by attending the meetings) since moving here. RU seems to be more prevalent here where I live as opposed to where I used to live. Isn't it one thing to be a drunkard before being saved, but after one is saved one should be moving away from whatever sinful behavior he/she has as opposed to continuing in it (whether drinking, smoking, whatever)? Yes, the time one person is convicted of his/her sins may differ from another persons, but I don't understand how one can be saved and willingly continue in sin. Once a person is saved, shouldn't he/she be convicted of his/her sin(s) and soon avoid continued/intentional sin(s)?
I thought that RU was supposed to be a good ministry, and thought that it was to be a help. But if it is in fact "teaching" what you propose, then how is that beneficial?
