Which has NOTHING to do with his original question!
Do you EVER rest ANY of your attention on ANYthing or ANYone that is not yourself?

Originally posted by sonhouseWell, not true. Many of those families affected continue to attend the church. And I didn't say shunning was just removing them. If I gave that impression I'm sorry. Shunning includes removing them.
No, shunning goes way beyond just removing, it effectively shuts out an entire family. That is going beyond removing a single person from the congregation.

the apostle Paul outlines rather clearly that it can refer to practices as well as teaching, how this can evade you is like wow, just wow.

You know, I used to think you were just a misogynist. Now I see you're actually a misanthrope.

Originally posted by sonhouseWell, as I understand it, people are shunned because they are supposedly corrupt, not the other way around. Chances are, however, that their biggest crime is not agreeing with church leadership.
Is the gist of that shunning thing that someone who leaves is now corrupt?

Originally posted by robbie carrobieOk, could you list these 'constituent parts' for my 'myopic' self? You know, these 'practices' you were talking about? Go ahead. Should be easy for someone who knows what they're talking about. Oh, but this is a direct question to you, so I'm guessing you'll just dance around it, babbling something about 'unicorns'. That's basically what you did when PK asked you about it.

But this is because you can't list them, because you don't know what you're talking about. Have you even read the pertinent chapter? I'm guessing it's time to 'put up or shut up'.
