when someone SINS against me
I do THIS:
1 John 5:16 If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does not lead to death, he should pray and God will give him life. I refer to those whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to death. I am not saying that he should pray about that. 17All wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does not lead to death.
GOD is just soooooo awesome and redemptive.
Even SIN can wind up giving someone ————> LIFE
when we put it into GOD’s hands 
Note that the one which is in a position of humble submission is the only one which is lit.

have you figured out what the sin that leads to death is? We have been studying this one for a while now and most of the commentaries do not even agree.
I’m not sure, Lin. I’m inclined to think that one should PRAY and HOPE for a brother in sin for as long as that brother lives. I was raised Catholic, and would attempt to pray people out of purgatory. Now I think that- once he dies- its too late; perhaps that is what John means by “a sin that leads to death”.
