I dont think I know how to “shun someone, turn my back on him, wipe the dust of his existence from my feet” and then “pray for his soul”.
I can pray for his soul, but the other things you suggest are the result of twisting scripture. You cant love someone, and treat them like that. That’s not even “tough love”... that’s disdain, contempt. Attempting to pass such treatment off as “spiritual” is Pharisaical.
If anyone comes to you and does not bring this teaching, do not receive him into your house or give him any greeting,
1 Corinthians 5:11
But now I am writing to you not to associate with anyone who bears the name of brother if he is guilty of sexual immorality or greed, or is an idolater, reviler, drunkard, or swindler—not even to eat with such a one.
Romans 16:17
I appeal to you, brothers, to watch out for those who cause divisions and create obstacles contrary to the doctrine that you have been taught; avoid them.
2 John 1:11
For whoever greets him takes part in his wicked works.
Galatians 6:1
Brothers, if anyone is caught in any transgression, you who are spiritual should restore him in a spirit of gentleness. Keep watch on yourself, lest you too be tempted.
2 Thessalonians 3:14
If anyone does not obey what we say in this letter, take note of that person, and have nothing to do with him, that he may be ashamed.
2 Thessalonians 3:6
Now we command you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that you keep away from any brother who is walking in idleness and not in accord with the tradition that you received from us.
Shake the Dust from Your Feet - Luke 9:3-5
He said to the apostles, "When you travel, don't take a walking stick. Also, don't carry a bag, food, or money. Take for your trip only the clothes you are wearing. When you go into a house, stay there until it is time to leave. If the people in the town will not welcome you, go outside the town and shake their dust off of your feet. This will be a warning to them."
I did not say to hate this man... I didn't say to hold him in contempt... I repeated scripture that are GOD's instructions and I asked for all to pray for his soul. It seems that you twist GOD's words to mean things other than what they actually say. I believe GOD knew exactly what HE wanted to move men to write and I believe that the Holy Spirit descended upon these men and touched their souls while they scribed. I pray for you too brother. I hope that you will do the same for me. LLS
