1 | How do we discipline church members? | 1 Cor 5:12 | Makarios | 93406 | ||
Greetings Newoldstock.. I agree with the method of how the pastor handled the situation with the adulterous woman in the situation that you have specified. Perhaps, by "shaming" this woman, she would eventually be brought back to repentance. It is better to shame a fellow Christian than to let such a sin go unpunished, unchallenged and undeterred in view of the entire community and congregation. Perhaps the pastor was not strict enough in the way that he dealt with the situation. Perhaps the pastor and the elders should have barred her from the church completely, without shaming her publicly.. But, since she left on her own accord (never to return), then I remain convinced that the pastor unswervingly did his duty by shaming her deeds in full view of the congregation. Perhaps her shame would lead to repentance. Blessings to you, Makarios |

2 | How do we discipline church members? | 1 Cor 5:12 | Christian24 | 93439 | ||
As i stated if the preacher just gives the word,(without calling names or pointing the finger) and the Holy Ghost will handle the rest and convict. Sometimes "suddenly" in that case we see how God can work. The Word is quick and powerful, sharper and any two edged sword. . . |
