This is harsh but True Paul speaking to the Church of Corinth in 1Corinthans 5:9-13
1Co 5:9 I wrote to you in my letter not to keep company with those who whore.
1Co 5:10 And I certainly did not mean with those of this world who whore, or with the greedy of gain, or swindlers, or idolaters, since then you would need to go out of the world. (we need to witness to them just, like Yeshua did but…)
1Co 5:11 But now I have written to you not to keep company with anyone called ‘a brother,’ if he is one who whores, or greedy of gain, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler – not even to eat with such a one. (wow that’s harsh)
1Co 5:12 For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are inside? (so we "can" judge our own brothers and sisters in Yeshua Messiah, ??)
1Co 5:13 But Elohim judges those who are outside. And put away the wicked one from among you! (wow ok put away any in the church or body of Christ who are doing evil. Hmmm, it’s like the saying a bad apple spoils the whole bunch…… I know we all fall short, even as Christians, but this means, knowingly sinning without repentance and turning away from it. )
Excellent points here, I know that there will be those who will not agree but you need to defend the truth of scripture not what feels good. We have come to a time where most believers are looking for a church that will make them feel comfortable and cozy. The feel good message doesn't convict the heart to repent. That’s why when a brother is living in sin (that is practicing a sin without stopping regardless of repenting)He is to be turned over to Ha Satan and that will not only be a message to the rest of the congregation, but will eventually cause that person to repent and hopefully return with a humble heart to the truth .It must be a big deal to Yahweh when He warns us to not even eat at the table of one who practices the things mentioned above. Believers need to re evaluate their walk and make sure it aligns with the knowledge understanding and wisdom of the living Word Yashua! Thanks for sharing
