Lord_Reed:

That is why I say you need to understand the circumstance that made Paul call for it. This was someone who was openly having an affair with his father's wife, a man that is a brother in the church. Paul told them to cast him out UNTIL he repented. The casting out is not permanent and is not for every case of misdeed.

You talk as though he is advocating that everybody who sins should be cast out. That is not the case. Take even for instance the case the OP stated, a girl dating a married man, repeatedly told to desist and yet she still carries on. IMHO the Church is well within christian dictates to excommunicate her and since she did not repent it becomes even justified as she simply will provide evidence for others that such a thing is acceptable to the church.

Please don't say Jesus didn't cast out people, you know the scriptures where he cast out the traders from the temple and even went physical with it so do not assume He doesn't use harsh methods/tough love on His children. He even repeatedly castigated the Pharisees and Sadducees so no one has any justification to say that God doesn't go tough on His own. The scriptures say that judgement will begin in the house of God and if we can hardly stand then what of those without? This tells us that there is a strictness required of us as christians and the sooner we learn this the better.

i see your point... but i just think that you are using just a part... remember matt 9 10-13... the bible also talks about unlimited forgiveness...we should never relent in an effort to bring a soul to christ... iono if u get me tho

Lord_Reed:

You are mistaking the purpose and situation which calls for the so called excommunication. You should read I Cor. 5 and digest it.

that part talks about the church being proud and encouraging the sins... the fact that you do not excommunicate the person doesnt mean you encourage it. there are other ways of dealing it... my point is if everybody's heart was open for us to see who would not be excommunicated.. those excommunicating even have worse sins... you have a pregnant girl in the church... after rebuking her.. instead of the church helping her through that time and making sure the baby isnt aborted.. she is sent out .. to what end.... teaching compassion or wickedness or hypocrisy

truthislight:

Nope!

Disfellowshiping helps keep the congregation clean.

Satan was sent out of heaven to keep it clean, so, the congregation has to be kept clean, and the bible supports it and the congregation is to be protected also.

What that is not supproted is your own personal opinion.

Your kind of opinion is why christianity has turned to houses of prostitutes today.

Were you told that it is all kind of people that must enter the kingdom of God ?

Your opinion does not count, but rather what is written in the bible counts, or, do you have biblical evidences for your stance ?

Yes, christ asked for forgiveness, but unrepentant sinners are to be sent out, and that is what the bible teaches.

Peace.

arrant rubbish... we are called christians (christ like).. christ didnt excommunicate peter for denying him or judas for selling him... christ said he came for the sinners not the righteous so technically his home is for sinners strifing to live a good life.. so any one who is pure and holy without sin should go and die and go to heaven and join his people.. and anyone who claims to be pure calls God a lair because no man is perfect...
you only excommunicate these people because their sin came out in the open.. wat of urs hidden would u excommunicate your selve.... it is just pure hypocrisy..... you should find a way to help the person as a true christian . because your job as one is to bring people to God.. you have not right to send them away

Jesus was spreading the gospel his delf. Yet he didn't buy a boat or a donkey... These pastord has branches and people who head them and help spread the word ... All the G.O needs to do is monitor. And am sure he would not go to all the branches the church has in his life time....the money spent on a jet would not be spent in his life time if he take first class for every trip... I know its not a crime for a man of God to enjoy life but I think priority... Am sure if there were to do a youth empowerment scheme they won't spend that much,,,,, the bible says touch not my annoited and do my prophet no harm..... But it also says.. Don't not judge the unbelivers but judge you fellow brethren when the go astra......that money if shared amongs very poor memeber that come to all their crusade for divine intervention would go a long way because God doesn't come down to help he uses people.... Its not enough that these people donate money to build a school that they can't afford and its free/subsidised for pastors kids..... LORD HELP US

A young brunette goes into the doctor's office and says that her body hurts wherever she touches it.
"Impossible," says the doctor. "Show me."
She takes her finger and pushes her elbow and screams in agony. She pushes her knee and screams, pushes her ankle and screams and so on it goes.
The doctor says, "You're not really a brunette are you?"
She says, "No, I'm really a blonde."

"I thought so," he says. "Your finger is broken."
