I’ve had older family members who belonged to very strict churches that practiced shunning of unrepentant sinners. At one time, entire communities did so. It seems rather too severe to most in the modern era, and perhaps it errs too far on the side of caution, condemning souls to Hell who might otherwise be saved. But, we as Christians on the whole now err too far on the side of incaution, otherwise these seemingly daily posts of horrendous abuse and moral failure would not be such a topic of heated discussion.

The seemingly daily posts as in the articles posted by this person serve only to smear Christianity as a whole. There was a recent article where Moslems sent imams to protest to the Pope about a Christian pastor burning a koran which kind of tells you that the rest of the world sees us as one Christendom. The liberal media takes the facts that some 2% of pastors are paedophils and 0.53% of priests are too and parades that to smear the other 98-99% of good, honest, god-fearing pastors/priests.

This article is a perfect example of how the leftist media will hold this against all of us. And we fall for it each time, the aim to cause divisions, the spreading of hatred against Lutherans/Catholics/Pentecostals/Methodists/Jews/Orthodox etc.
