Bible Question: How long shall I disassociate or excommunion with an unrepentant/repentant brother? God just disassociate with Jesus on the cross for three days only? To what extent shall I discomfort him? |
Bible Answer: Excommunication is usually something that a church does to an unrepentant invididual. Paul describes such a reason for excommunicating in 1 Corinthians 5. Jesus says in Matthew 18 that we are not to associate with those claiming to be Christians who are living in exposed, continuous unrepentance. Restoration to fellowship comes only with repentance, and should be gentle, as Galatians 6:1 tells us. --Joe! |
