Congregation of the Lord

By Editor

No. 446. Congregation of the Lord.

PLEASE explain Deut. 23:1-3. Does it mean that these classes shall not get to heaven? C. A.
Being shut out of the congregation of the Lord evidently means that these classes should not have the privileges of citizens. Being shut out they could not hold office. It does not mean that they could not get to heaven or will not be saved. The Lord did not want his people to be put into a position where those who were godless could come in and be rulers among them, or who would be contemptible because of defects. But his promises of eternal salvation embrace all these. See Isa. 56:3-8.
