Again thankful for the information. But wouldn't it just be better to forgive or not take offense in the first place.

It has nothing to do with being offended or even forgiveness. The disfellowshipped person is forgiven. Its a matter setting boundaries, in hopes of correcting bad behavior.

You’re guilty of equating Christians to Satan. Talk about bad behavior. Definitely shaking your dust off my feet.

I remain as stoic as a stone in these matters. Ignoring the emotings of folks and staying to the facts. Keeping in mind that restoration is generally the goal.

I garnered as much from your responses. But didn't you even crack a whiff of a smile at Oyster67's jocularity?

Wow!
You only do things for others because they need it or as a favor?
How about because you love them or because you just want to?
Romans 12: 1 says presenting ourselves as a luving sacrifice to God is our reasonable service.
The word service has meaning.

We're not talking about others.

We're talking about going to church and worshipping God.

The principle remains the same.
Our service to God has nothing to do with Him having need of us. nor of us doing Him any favors. However we do, we serve Him and we worship Him for Him, because of Him.
We can not earn anything from Him, because He has given to us out of His boundless mercy and grace.

Am I the only one who feels the need to brush up on disfellowshipping? Even spell check didn't contain that word.

If it’s not in the Scrabble dictionary then it’s not a word!!
Disfellowshipping:
SORRY. NO RESULT. THIS IS AN NOT AN OFFICIAL SCRABBLE WORD.

OOPS!
CHECK OUT THE SPELLING OF YOUR WORD AND TRY AGAIN.

Shakespeare made up over 5000 words so I'm inclined to allow it subject to further review.

I would be forced to challenge Bill Shakespeare, and he would subsequently lose his turn!

what do you make of this type of stuff ?

“For if ye forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you:

but if ye forgive not men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭6:14-15‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Is that true ? Or should we say that’s not grace because he’s telling his disciples what to do ? And what the result will be ?
