For some of those that don't realize what that is, its a term for banning a member from church for unrepentant heart of an obvious sin... There are steps to doing this in a corporate way.
Yesterday I was part of a conversation in small group about excommunication. It is a strange topic to talk about. But it started off with a question about homosexuality. Would we ex-communicate a member for a member dealing with homosexuality. Well some felt strong that we need to ex-communicate, if they were not recognizing it as a sin. But what about other sins like pride. I wonder if anyone has been ex-communicated for pride or other sins just as sinful?
Maybe I can be ex-communicate for wearing a woman's sweater without admitting anything...
Here I am wearing Rose's sweater....
I can't imagine anyone really getting ex-communicated for anything these days. But I am sure it happens. Well, I am certain that God will be the judge of what ever happens. Only God can judge me.... What a scary reality! with this heavy subject, have a great day!
