Joan Boney ... apostle/prophet
In the KJV of NT, we often see references to "uncleanness".
What is uncleanness? What does this mean?
It is defined for us in the following scripture:
I Thess. 4 ... 3 For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication:4 That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; 5 Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God:6 That no man go beyond and defraud his brother in any matter:because that the Lord is the avenger of all such, as we also have forewarned you and testified. 7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. 8 He therefore that despiseth, despiseth not man, but God, who hath also given unto us his holy Spirit.
Fornication and defrauding are cited in above passage of scripture as "uncleanness".
Concerning defrauding:
I Cor. 6 ... 1 Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to law before the unjust, and not before the saints? 2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters? 3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?
4 If then ye have judgments of things pertaining to this life, set them to judge who are least esteemed in the church. 5 I speak to your shame. Is it so, that there is not a wise man among you? no, not one that shall be able to judge between his brethren? 6 But brother goeth to law with brother, and that before the unbelievers.
7 Now therefore there is utterly a fault among you, because ye go to law one with another.
Why do ye not rather take wrong? why do ye not rather suffer yourselves to be defrauded?
8 Nay, ye do wrong, and defraud, and that your brethren. 9 Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived:neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, 10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God. 11 And such were some of you:but ye are washed, but ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spirit of our God.
The world considers it foolish to let someone get by with cheating you.
But I view this as something we can commit to God and trust HIM to repay. I believe God will restore to me that which has been taken from me through fraud. (Although I know the above scripture applies to a brother in Christ, I know God will repay me even when the world defrauds me.)
So, to me, it is better to commit the situation to God for HIM to judge and to trust HIM. I wouldn't want to take another person into a human court to settle the matter.
The main thing to me is to see that I do not defraud another person.
Defraud: to illegally obtain money from someone by deception... to cheat ...
