[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5741513, member: 24302"] Of course it does. But church leadership is charged with protecting the integrity of the congregation. If a member refuses to give up a sin but continues to live in sin then he is to be shunned. I didn't write it but because an apostle of Christ did I believe I have a duty to live by that to the best of my ability. Let's say the sin is drug abuse. Do you as a church elder have a duty to try to help the individual but if he refuses to give up meth then do you have a responsibility to protect others in your congregation, especially impressionable teens, from his actions? Saying it's up to Jesus and failing to act is a dereliction of your duty to protect your congregation. Shunning puts it on the shunned member to realize the gravity of their actions and to change for the better if they want to remain in the Lord's Church. [/QUOTE]
