Stone or Excommunicate

Salvation is not the end of the journey....it's just the beginning. More here

If you are born again, your roots are in Jerusalem, not antioch, alexandria, nor rome.

Don't devalue HIS sacrifice by living like you've always lived.

Exodus 22:18
Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live.

I Samuel 15:23a
For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry.

Hosea 6:6
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of G-D more than burnt offerings.

So instead of stoning the rebellious we just don't associate with them.

I Corinthians 5:11 (NASB)
But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one.

Romans 16:17
Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them.

Even we moms do this with a child who throws a tantrum or misbehaves. We send them to their room, away from the fun the rest of us are having and let them know that when they can calm down and participate nicely then we will enjoy their company again.

It works for our kids and our Heavenly Father also knows it will work for HIS kids as well. And the anti-spank crowd thinks they invented a new thing.

Ecclesiastes 1:9
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
